Wells Traditions
Traditions are a part of life at Wells College. They connect us with each other, providing a sense of timelessness and continuity. The experiences and memories that make up these traditions make us all a part of a special community and they’re really fun! Some of the most long-standing traditions include the followings:
●Moving up day
Each spring the senior class promotes: students to the next class year. This all-student occasion is organized by the senior class. This tradition has recently been split in two with a Senior Roast happening on the Thursday before the last day of classes. At this event, seniors sing songs and tell jokes. On the last day of classes, seniors gather students around the Sycamore where juniors are given college pins (徽章) and seniors are given roses.
●Convocation
Opening Convocation celebrates the beginning of the academic year and the formal introduction of the new incoming class. A traditional part of this convocation is the candlelight ceremony. Symbolized by a candle flame, the spirit of the Wells connection is passed from alumni (校友) to students, signifying what Wells students give to one another throughout their lives.
●Tea time
Tea and coffee are served every Wednesday afternoon. Though the long dresses and china cups are gone, this break from afternoon classes is still a great time to get together with friends and professors.
●Minerva
Outside of Main, the College’s first building, sits the lovely statue of the Roman goddess Minerva, symbolizing wisdom and invention. The senior class decorates Minerva at the beginning of the school year, and Minerva remains decorated throughout the year. During the morning of the last day of classes, after singing around the Sycamore tree, the senior class takes turns kissing the feet of Minerva, believing she will bring success and prosperity to all graduating seniors.

What does it take to bring nature back into the city For Shanghai high school senior Xiao Tai, the answer lies in a 115-square-meter eco-garden within a residential community in Hongkou District. Over the past eight months, the 17-year-old created a habitat with urban wildlife.
Xiao’s passion for nature began when he was a child. He immersed himself in ecological conservation through online videos, scientific databases, and hands-on activities. However, it was an encounter with a community clean-up project two years ago that shifted his focus to urban wildlife. “I noticed how even a small green space can support biodiversity,” he recalled. This inspired him to create a refuge (避难所) for local species.
The eco-garden has two sections. The first, a 15-square-meter plot near an internal road, was transformed from an existing greenbelt. Last summer, Xiao obtained permission from the neighborhood committee to experiment there. He planted native nectar plants and built a Benjes hedge (本杰士堆) — a pile of branches that provides shelter for small animals and attracts insects.
Because of the success of this first project, the committee allocated (划分)another 100-square-meter area for further development. This area was divided into three ecological zones. One section features artificial water containers for birds and frogs. Another area has a pond to support native species, with monitoring cameras. The third zone is used to restore native plants.
In early March, a hedgehog (刺猬) was captured on camera exploring the Benjes hedge. “It can rest safely here without fear of predators (捕食性动物),” shared Xiao. Xiao also put up educational signs and warnings against improper behaviors like picking plants. Every weekend afternoon, he gives guided tours, mainly for local children.
Xiao hopes to involve more people in maintaining the garden in the future. “Right now, it’s just me, but others will take over as I get busier as a Senior 3 student,” he said. As he prepares for college, he plans to study ecology and continue his conservation efforts.
4. What made Xiao Tai start to pay attention to urban animals
A. His experience in a community project.
B. The neighborhood committee’s permission.
C. His childhood passion for nature.
D. Online videos and scientific databases.
5. What can we learn about Xiao Tai’s eco-garden
A. It was intended for endangered species.
B. Its first section used to be a greenbelt.
C. It covers an area of 100 square meters.
D. Its two sections were built at the same time.
6. Why is a hedgehog mentioned in paragraph 5
A. To highlight how good a habitat the garden provides.
B. To protect the garden from some improper behaviors.
C. To remind people to protect the endangered species.
D. To attract more local children to visit the eco-garden.
7. What is the suitable title of the passage
A. Conservation of endangered wildlife.
B. A teenager’s passion turning into action.
C. Joint efforts to build a green community.
D. Providing safe habitats for wildlife.
C
I first noticed Labubu when I visited Beijing in July as part of a cultural exchange program. I recognized it as something I would see Generation Z or younger kids carrying about, but I wouldn’t have guessed it was Chinese.
From a design point of view, Labubu’s popularity doesn’t surprise me at all. There is so much mass marketing aimed at perfect cuteness or beauty — that people often get tired of it, and so it becomes cliché (俗套的) and boring. In the US, counterculture (反主流文化) has been influential for about 60 years, so something off-putting like a Labubu’s gremlin (捣蛋鬼) smile has the kind of appeal that another princess doll lacks.
I think it’s a similar phenomenon to modern art, making fun of the concept of a gallery by presenting vacuum cleaners, taping a banana to a wall or destroying a painting upon purchase. Or antiheroes in film and literature. Labubu does remind me of Minions: (小黄人), which came out of a movie where the main character is a textbook archetypal (典型的) cartoon villain (反派).
Today’s toys and character designs are so high-quality and realistic — nothing was like that when I was a kid. Pikachu (皮卡丘) and SpongeBob SquarePants (海绵宝宝) are simple. Souvenir toys today, however, are as detailed as something you would find displayed in an old wax museum (蜡像馆). I think it becomes too much. Everything is too perfect. How is that supposed to be cool or interesting
The fact that Labubu’s face is — by conventional (传统的) beauty standards — ugly reminds me of pugs (哈巴狗), those little smushed (压扁的)-face dogs. Some people don’t like how they look, but pugs are still popular pets. They’re often lovingly called “pugly”, which means ugly in a cute or lovable way.
As for Labubu’s Chinese origin and how it shows a mix of Chinese and Western styles, I think it’s only natural that more modern Chinese products will become popular in the West. It feels a bit strange that “Made in China” used to mean poor quality when I was a kid, but now the only thing stopping us from buying Chinese cars and electronics is the US government rules. Young people are starting to expect new and exciting things from China, including cool products to buy.
8. What does the underlined word “off-putting” in paragraph 2 most probably mean
A. Perfect. B. Delicate. C. Unpleasant. D. Traditional.
9. Why does the author compare Labubu to modern art
A. To show its artistic originality. B. To highlight its unusual concept.
C. To stress its high market value. D. To prove its wide cultural reach.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards the designs of today’s toys
A. Favorable. B. Supportive. C. Disapproving. D. Indifferent.
11. What broader trend does the author see in Labubu’s success
A. Increasing resistance to Chinese cars. B. Declining quality of mass production.
C. Growing western interest in Chinese things. D. Rising standards for handcrafted goods.
D
A study published on June-28, 2024, found that consuming coffee might act like a placebo (安慰剂), making drinkers feel ready to tackle the day.
Most coffee drinkers believe their morning cup makes them alert (清醒的) due to its caffeine (咖啡因). This study aimed to determine if this wakefulness is due to caffeine or the experience of drinking coffee.
“There is a common expectation that coffee increases alertness and psychomotor (精神运动的) functioning,” said study co-author Nuno Sousa. “Understanding the mechanisms can open pathways for exploring factors that may regulate it and its potential benefits.”
The study recruited (招募) participants who drank at least one cup of coffee per day. Participants avoided caffeinated drinks for at least three hours before the study. They were interviewed and received two functional MRI (功能性核磁共振) scans: one before consuming caffeine alone or drinking coffee and the other 30 minutes after. During the fMRI scans, participants were asked to relax and let their minds wander.
Results showed that, after drinking coffee or taking caffeine alone, connectivity decreased in the DMN (大脑默认模式网络) — one that is most active when a person is not focused, indicating that both substances made people more prepared to transition (过渡) from rest to daily tasks. However, drinking coffee increased connectivity in the higher visual network and the ECN (大脑执行控制网络), involved in working memory, cognitive (认知的) control and goal-directed behavior. This increase did not occur with caffeine alone, suggesting that to feel alert and ready to go, coffee is more effective than caffeine alone.
“In simple words, the subjects were more ready for action and alert to external stimuli (刺激物) after having coffee,” said co-author Maria Pico-Perez. The specific smell and taste of coffee or the psychological expectation associated with drinking it might contribute to its unique effects.
12. What was the main purpose of the study
A. To compare the effects of different coffees.
B. To find out potential benefits of coffee.
C To evaluate the best time to drink coffee.
D. To investigate the source of wakefulness.
13. What did the participants do for the study
A. They avoided drinks containing caffeine before the study.
B. They drank coffee and took caffeine at the same time.
C. They were asked to remain focused during fMRI scans.
D. They had drunk at least one cup of coffee before the study.
14. What did the study find about the effects of drinking coffee on the brain
A. It reduced alertness with external stimuli.
B. It weakened cognitive control networks.
C. It increased connectivity in the DMN.
D. It boosted connectivity in the visual network.
15. What plays a greater role in contributing to the alertness of the brain
A. The caffeine that is taken in. B. The time to drink coffee.
C. The smell and taste of coffee. D. The emotional state of drinkers.

By morning, Jack knew what he had to do. He had not slept a wink but had sat on the balcony (阳台) all night thinking. He stretched his stiff (僵硬的) body and went back to his room. His younger brother Jerry was still asleep.
It was Saturday and there was no school. Jack’s mother asked him to run some errands (差事) for her. On his way out, he glanced at his motorcycle which was parked at the side of the house. There was no hiding the broken front lamp and the dent (凹痕) on the side. Jack took a deep breath and determined to do the right thing after he completed his errands.
It was late morning when Jack was finally free to carry out his plan. He marched down the road to Mr. Brown’s house. When he arrived and called out the usual greeting, Mrs. Brown appeared at the doorway and greeted him warmly. She invited him in and served him tea and some cakes. Jack nervously asked to speak to Mr. Brown. She told him that her husband was out but would be home very soon. Sure enough, the elderly man returned in ten minutes.
Jack cleared his throat a few times while his host waited patiently. Finally, he let out that he had come to make an apology. “I’m sorry. I was careless yesterday and knocked into your parked car in front of the post office,” Jack said.
Mr. Brown looked at the 17-year-old, surprised. “So, you are saying that you are the one who dented my car and then ran away ”
Jack went red. He nodded. “I’m sorry for not telling you earlier. I was too frightened.”
The elderly man smiled and said, “But you are not too frightened to confess (坦白) now ”
Jack said, “I couldn’t sleep last night thinking about it. I knew I had to do the right thing.”
Mr. Brown was silent for a minute before saying, “What is the right thing for you To cover up for your brother ”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Jack’s face went pale. “I... I... You know the truth ” he mumbled (含糊地说).
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On his way home, Jack felt proud of his brother’s courage in confessing everything.

To be honest, the story was not good. I never got it published, but it is actually my favorite piece of writing. Every time I start a new book, I go back to it. I still laugh at the poor grammar, the silly plot and the awkward drawings. (19) I keep returning to it because it reminds me of my starting point. Each time, I'm reminded how much I have grown since then. I have worked hard to improve with every book I have written, and this commitment to growth has brought me success. No matter what path you choose next, the same rule applies. (20)The only way to become better is to keep moving forward.

Wells Traditions
Traditions are a part of life at Wells College. They connect us with each other, providing a sense of timelessness and continuity. The experiences and memories that make up these traditions make us all a part of a special community and they’re really fun! Some of the most long-standing traditions include the followings:
●Moving up day
Each spring the senior class promotes: students to the next class year. This all-student occasion is organized by the senior class. This tradition has recently been split in two with a Senior Roast happening on the Thursday before the last day of classes. At this event, seniors sing songs and tell jokes. On the last day of classes, seniors gather students around the Sycamore where juniors are given college pins (徽章) and seniors are given roses.
●Convocation
Opening Convocation celebrates the beginning of the academic year and the formal introduction of the new incoming class. A traditional part of this convocation is the candlelight ceremony. Symbolized by a candle flame, the spirit of the Wells connection is passed from alumni (校友) to students, signifying what Wells students give to one another throughout their lives.
●Tea time
Tea and coffee are served every Wednesday afternoon. Though the long dresses and china cups are gone, this break from afternoon classes is still a great time to get together with friends and professors.
●Minerva
Outside of Main, the College’s first building, sits the lovely statue of the Roman goddess Minerva, symbolizing wisdom and invention. The senior class decorates Minerva at the beginning of the school year, and Minerva remains decorated throughout the year. During the morning of the last day of classes, after singing around the Sycamore tree, the senior class takes turns kissing the feet of Minerva, believing she will bring success and prosperity to all graduating seniors.

What does it take to bring nature back into the city For Shanghai high school senior Xiao Tai, the answer lies in a 115-square-meter eco-garden within a residential community in Hongkou District. Over the past eight months, the 17-year-old created a habitat with urban wildlife.
Xiao’s passion for nature began when he was a child. He immersed himself in ecological conservation through online videos, scientific databases, and hands-on activities. However, it was an encounter with a community clean-up project two years ago that shifted his focus to urban wildlife. “I noticed how even a small green space can support biodiversity,” he recalled. This inspired him to create a refuge (避难所) for local species.
The eco-garden has two sections. The first, a 15-square-meter plot near an internal road, was transformed from an existing greenbelt. Last summer, Xiao obtained permission from the neighborhood committee to experiment there. He planted native nectar plants and built a Benjes hedge (本杰士堆) — a pile of branches that provides shelter for small animals and attracts insects.
Because of the success of this first project, the committee allocated (划分)another 100-square-meter area for further development. This area was divided into three ecological zones. One section features artificial water containers for birds and frogs. Another area has a pond to support native species, with monitoring cameras. The third zone is used to restore native plants.
In early March, a hedgehog (刺猬) was captured on camera exploring the Benjes hedge. “It can rest safely here without fear of predators (捕食性动物),” shared Xiao. Xiao also put up educational signs and warnings against improper behaviors like picking plants. Every weekend afternoon, he gives guided tours, mainly for local children.
Xiao hopes to involve more people in maintaining the garden in the future. “Right now, it’s just me, but others will take over as I get busier as a Senior 3 student,” he said. As he prepares for college, he plans to study ecology and continue his conservation efforts.
4. What made Xiao Tai start to pay attention to urban animals
A. His experience in a community project.
B. The neighborhood committee’s permission.
C. His childhood passion for nature.
D. Online videos and scientific databases.
5. What can we learn about Xiao Tai’s eco-garden
A. It was intended for endangered species.
B. Its first section used to be a greenbelt.
C. It covers an area of 100 square meters.
D. Its two sections were built at the same time.
6. Why is a hedgehog mentioned in paragraph 5
A. To highlight how good a habitat the garden provides.
B. To protect the garden from some improper behaviors.
C. To remind people to protect the endangered species.
D. To attract more local children to visit the eco-garden.
7. What is the suitable title of the passage
A. Conservation of endangered wildlife.
B. A teenager’s passion turning into action.
C. Joint efforts to build a green community.
D. Providing safe habitats for wildlife.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. B
C
I first noticed Labubu when I visited Beijing in July as part of a cultural exchange program. I recognized it as something I would see Generation Z or younger kids carrying about, but I wouldn’t have guessed it was Chinese.
From a design point of view, Labubu’s popularity doesn’t surprise me at all. There is so much mass marketing aimed at perfect cuteness or beauty — that people often get tired of it, and so it becomes cliché (俗套的) and boring. In the US, counterculture (反主流文化) has been influential for about 60 years, so something off-putting like a Labubu’s gremlin (捣蛋鬼) smile has the kind of appeal that another princess doll lacks.
I think it’s a similar phenomenon to modern art, making fun of the concept of a gallery by presenting vacuum cleaners, taping a banana to a wall or destroying a painting upon purchase. Or antiheroes in film and literature. Labubu does remind me of Minions: (小黄人), which came out of a movie where the main character is a textbook archetypal (典型的) cartoon villain (反派).
Today’s toys and character designs are so high-quality and realistic — nothing was like that when I was a kid. Pikachu (皮卡丘) and SpongeBob SquarePants (海绵宝宝) are simple. Souvenir toys today, however, are as detailed as something you would find displayed in an old wax museum (蜡像馆). I think it becomes too much. Everything is too perfect. How is that supposed to be cool or interesting
The fact that Labubu’s face is — by conventional (传统的) beauty standards — ugly reminds me of pugs (哈巴狗), those little smushed (压扁的)-face dogs. Some people don’t like how they look, but pugs are still popular pets. They’re often lovingly called “pugly”, which means ugly in a cute or lovable way.
As for Labubu’s Chinese origin and how it shows a mix of Chinese and Western styles, I think it’s only natural that more modern Chinese products will become popular in the West. It feels a bit strange that “Made in China” used to mean poor quality when I was a kid, but now the only thing stopping us from buying Chinese cars and electronics is the US government rules. Young people are starting to expect new and exciting things from China, including cool products to buy.
8. What does the underlined word “off-putting” in paragraph 2 most probably mean
A. Perfect. B. Delicate. C. Unpleasant. D. Traditional.
9. Why does the author compare Labubu to modern art
A. To show its artistic originality. B. To highlight its unusual concept.
C. To stress its high market value. D. To prove its wide cultural reach.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards the designs of today’s toys
A. Favorable. B. Supportive. C. Disapproving. D. Indifferent.
11. What broader trend does the author see in Labubu’s success
A. Increasing resistance to Chinese cars. B. Declining quality of mass production.
C. Growing western interest in Chinese things. D. Rising standards for handcrafted goods.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. C
D
A study published on June-28, 2024, found that consuming coffee might act like a placebo (安慰剂), making drinkers feel ready to tackle the day.
Most coffee drinkers believe their morning cup makes them alert (清醒的) due to its caffeine (咖啡因). This study aimed to determine if this wakefulness is due to caffeine or the experience of drinking coffee.
“There is a common expectation that coffee increases alertness and psychomotor (精神运动的) functioning,” said study co-author Nuno Sousa. “Understanding the mechanisms can open pathways for exploring factors that may regulate it and its potential benefits.”
The study recruited (招募) participants who drank at least one cup of coffee per day. Participants avoided caffeinated drinks for at least three hours before the study. They were interviewed and received two functional MRI (功能性核磁共振) scans: one before consuming caffeine alone or drinking coffee and the other 30 minutes after. During the fMRI scans, participants were asked to relax and let their minds wander.
Results showed that, after drinking coffee or taking caffeine alone, connectivity decreased in the DMN (大脑默认模式网络) — one that is most active when a person is not focused, indicating that both substances made people more prepared to transition (过渡) from rest to daily tasks. However, drinking coffee increased connectivity in the higher visual network and the ECN (大脑执行控制网络), involved in working memory, cognitive (认知的) control and goal-directed behavior. This increase did not occur with caffeine alone, suggesting that to feel alert and ready to go, coffee is more effective than caffeine alone.
“In simple words, the subjects were more ready for action and alert to external stimuli (刺激物) after having coffee,” said co-author Maria Pico-Perez. The specific smell and taste of coffee or the psychological expectation associated with drinking it might contribute to its unique effects.
12. What was the main purpose of the study
A. To compare the effects of different coffees.
B. To find out potential benefits of coffee.
C To evaluate the best time to drink coffee.
D. To investigate the source of wakefulness.
13. What did the participants do for the study
A. They avoided drinks containing caffeine before the study.
B. They drank coffee and took caffeine at the same time.
C. They were asked to remain focused during fMRI scans.
D. They had drunk at least one cup of coffee before the study.
14. What did the study find about the effects of drinking coffee on the brain
A. It reduced alertness with external stimuli.
B. It weakened cognitive control networks.
C. It increased connectivity in the DMN.
D. It boosted connectivity in the visual network.
15. What plays a greater role in contributing to the alertness of the brain
A. The caffeine that is taken in. B. The time to drink coffee.
C. The smell and taste of coffee. D. The emotional state of drinkers.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. C

47. 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。
By morning, Jack knew what he had to do. He had not slept a wink but had sat on the balcony (阳台) all night thinking. He stretched his stiff (僵硬的) body and went back to his room. His younger brother Jerry was still asleep.
It was Saturday and there was no school. Jack’s mother asked him to run some errands (差事) for her. On his way out, he glanced at his motorcycle which was parked at the side of the house. There was no hiding the broken front lamp and the dent (凹痕) on the side. Jack took a deep breath and determined to do the right thing after he completed his errands.
It was late morning when Jack was finally free to carry out his plan. He marched down the road to Mr. Brown’s house. When he arrived and called out the usual greeting, Mrs. Brown appeared at the doorway and greeted him warmly. She invited him in and served him tea and some cakes. Jack nervously asked to speak to Mr. Brown. She told him that her husband was out but would be home very soon. Sure enough, the elderly man returned in ten minutes.
Jack cleared his throat a few times while his host waited patiently. Finally, he let out that he had come to make an apology. “I’m sorry. I was careless yesterday and knocked into your parked car in front of the post office,” Jack said.
Mr. Brown looked at the 17-year-old, surprised. “So, you are saying that you are the one who dented my car and then ran away ”
Jack went red. He nodded. “I’m sorry for not telling you earlier. I was too frightened.”
The elderly man smiled and said, “But you are not too frightened to confess (坦白) now ”
Jack said, “I couldn’t sleep last night thinking about it. I knew I had to do the right thing.”
Mr. Brown was silent for a minute before saying, “What is the right thing for you To cover up for your brother ”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Jack’s face went pale. “I... I... You know the truth ” he mumbled (含糊地说).
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On his way home, Jack felt proud of his brother’s courage in confessing everything.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Jack’s face went pale. “I... I... You know the truth ” he mumbled (含糊地说). His heart raced as he stared at Mr. Brown, feeling utterly exposed. “Yes, Jerry… he borrowed my motorcycle yesterday without permission,” Jack stammered, his voice barely above a whisper. “He panicked after hitting your car and begged me not to tell. I thought… I thought taking the blame would protect him.” Jack looked down, twisting his fingers nervously.
On his way home, Jack felt proud of his brother’s courage in confessing everything. After Jack’s admission, Jerry had unexpectedly arrived at the Browns’ house himself, eyes red but determined. He had apologized sincerely to Mr. Brown, explaining his fear and regret. To Jack’s immense relief, Mr. Brown, seeing their honesty, forgave them both. He appreciated their eventual courage to face the truth and told them the minor damage wasn’t worth the distress it had caused. Walking home together, Jack put an arm around Jerry’s shoulders. The brothers knew they had both learned a hard lesson about responsibility and the importance of honesty, feeling lighter and closer than before.

M: Oh, please, just forget about it.

M: Hello, can you show me the way to the main entrance My friend dropped his wallet in the parking lot. (11)
W: Yes, go past the Renaissance paintings and turn left into the room with the 20th century art. You'll see a long hallway. Follow the long hallway to the end, and you'll find the entrance there.
M: Thank you. Will the security guard let me in again after I leave the building
W: Since you've already bought a ticket, just get your hand stamped at the front desk. That way, you can go in and out as many times as you want before closing. (12)
M: Great! Oh, one more thing ... Do you know of a good place to eat around here
W: There's a cafe at ground level.
M: I know, but it's too expensive. Is there anything outside the museum
W: Well, I usually go to the Vietnamese restaurant across the street, (13) but the fast-food restaurant around the corner is even cheaper.

Good afternoon, New York University's graduating class. It's an honor to stand before you today. For those of you who may not know me, I'm Matt de la Pe a, author of children's books, including Carmela Full of Wishes, Milo Imagines the World, and Patchwork. However, I think you might be most familiar with my Last Stop on Market Street, which came out in 2015. (18)I wrote my first children's story in the library of my university. To be honest, the story was not good. I never got it published, but it is actually my favorite piece of writing. Every time I start a new book, I go back to it. I still laugh at the poor grammar, the silly plot and the awkward drawings. (19) I keep returning to it because it reminds me of my starting point. Each time, I'm reminded how much I have grown since then. I have worked hard to improve with every book I have written, and this commitment to growth has brought me success. No matter what path you choose next, the same rule applies. (20)The only way to become better is to keep moving forward.
