As students draw near the midterm season, so do their feelings of anxiety and stress. With deadlines approaching, it’s easy to become wrapped up in essays and exams, but Arthur Lyhne-Gold, a student at the University of Edinburgh, found the poems may be the means to calm that stress.
His idea blossomed from the concept of “the Poetry Pharmacy (药房)”, which was a shop that, instead of offering pills or prescriptions, gave customers books of poetry to solve their own problems. Calm, comfort, inspiration: whatever they were searching for, there was always a poem to help them find it.
Arthur brought this concept to campus, handing out 400 free poems with various themes to brighten the day of students. Students could always find him giving out poems outside the Main Library, especially when the midterms and Edinburgh winters got them down.
His project was rooted in personal struggles. During a study abroad year in Canada, he battled loneliness and seasonal depression. Arthur said, “I tried medical recommendations like light therapy but they weren’t as helpful. Instead, I found so much comfort in some songs, some literature, and some poetry.” He then began to hang posters around campus with poems relating to the theme of seasonal depression and decided to expand on the idea of “the Poetry Pharmacy” ,when he came back to the University of Edinburgh.
While many dismiss studies in arts as less useful as those in science, Arthur argues for the unique value of arts and poems. He explains that, “there is a tendency in Western medicine to compartmentalise things: You have a cardiologist (心脏病医生), a dentist, but never someone looking comprehensively.” On the contrary, as he claims, arts can arrange all the things and words to bring peace to people and cure their body as a whole. “In a way, poetry is medicine.”
24. Who was “the Poetry Pharmacy” originally intended for
A. Book lovers searching for themed poems.
B. Students anxious about essays and exams.
C. People struggling with personal problems.
D. Patients seeking free medical consultations.
25. What motivated Arthur to start his project
A. His emotional issues in Canada. B. His academic struggles in Edinburgh.
C. His doctor’s medical recommendation. D. His experience in the Poetry Pharmacy.
26. What does the underlined word “compartmentalise” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Prioritize. B. Integrate.
C. Simplify. D. Divide.
27. What is the text mainly about
A. The development of the Poetry Pharmacy.
B. A medical treatment for seasonal depression.
C. A student’s poetry initiative to ease peers’ stress.
D. The combination of arts and science in mental health.

Have you ever looked at a beautiful little mews house in London and thought “it must be so amazing to live there ” If so, you’re not the only one. But for the people who actually do live in those homes, social media photography has changed what it means to live in a picturesque place.
Alice Johnston is a longtime resident of Notting Hill, the London neighbourhood famous for pastel-painted row houses and for being the setting of the Julia Roberts/ Hugh Grant movie of the same name.
Johnston, a journalist, has complicated feelings about her Instagram-beloved neighbourhood. She lives on Portobello Road, one of the capital’s most famous streets, and has witnessed all kinds of crazy behavior committed in the pursuit of the perfect snapshot.
Once, she and a friend were walking his French bulldog when a tourist asked if they could “borrow” the pup for a quick photo. The friend and the dog consented, the Instagrammer posed with the Frenchie in front of a bright blue door and then handed over five pounds as a thank you.
In that story, everybody had a good time. But there can be a darker side to living inside what some people think is a movie set. “I was once woken up at 6 a. m. on Easter Sunday by French teenagers taking pictures outside,” Johnston says. She shares another anecdote: “One time I was changing after I got out of the shower and there was this elderly man taking a picture (of my windows) with an iPad” Although the shutters (百叶窗) were closed at the time, she was understandably rattled by the experience.
When private homes - and the people who live in them - become tourist attractions, clashes (冲突) can occur. In more rural areas, people can put up fences or other barriers to access, but when these private homes are on public streets in some of the world’s busiest cities, what’s a resident to do
28. What has changed the meaning of living in a picturesque place
A. Tourist attractions. B. Social media photography.
C. Pastel-painted row houses. D. The setting of movies.
29. What happens to people after their home becomes a tourist attraction
A. They can earn more money. B. They will live a happier life.
C. They will meet different people. D. Their private lives have been affected.
30. How is this passage developed
A. By giving examples. B. By making comparison.
C. By asking questions. D. By giving definition.
31. The following paragraph will be written about ________ according to the last paragraph.
A. how people’s life is improved B. why people don’t like being photographed
C. what residents do to prevent the photography D. what else make people satisfied
D
On March 7, 1907, the English statistician Francis Galton published a paper which illustrated what has come to be known as the “wisdom of crowds” effect. The experiment of estimation he conducted showed that in some cases, the average of a large number of independent estimates could be quite accurate.
This effect capitalizes on the fact that when people make errors, those errors aren’t always the same. Some people will tend to overestimate, and some to underestimate. When enough of these errors are averaged together, they cancel each other out, resulting in a more accurate estimate. If people are similar and tend to make the same errors, then their errors won’t cancel each other out. In more technical terms, the wisdom of crowds requires that people’s estimates be independent. If for whatever reasons, people’s errors become correlated or dependent, the accuracy of the estimate will go down.
But a new study led by Joaquin Navajas offered an interesting twist on this classic phenomenon. The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into smaller groups that were allowed to have a discussion, the averages from these groups were more accurate than those from an equal number of independent individuals. For instance, the average obtained from the estimates of four discussion groups of five was significantly more accurate than the average obtained from 20 independent individuals.
In a follow-up study with 100 university students, the researchers tried to get a better sense of what the group members actually did in their discussion. Did they tend to go with those most confident about their estimates Did they follow those least willing to change their minds This happened some of the time, but it wasn’t the dominant response. Most frequently, the groups reported that they “shared arguments and reasoned together.” Somehow, these arguments and reasoning resulted in a global reduction in error. Although the studies led by Navajas have limitations and many questions remain, the potential implications for group discussion and decision-making are enormous.
32. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A. The methods of estimation. B. The underlying logic of the effect.
C. The causes of people’s errors. D. The design of Galton’s experiment.
33. What could still increase the average accuracy according to Navajas’ study
A. The relatively small size of the group
B. The occasional occurrence of underestimates
C. The absence of communication among individuals
D. Individual estimates not being fully independent
34. What did the follow-up study focus on
A. The size of the groups. B. The dominant members.
C. The discussion process. D. The individual estimates.
35. What is the author’s attitude toward Navajas’ studies
A. Unclear. B. Dismissive. C. Doubtful. D. Approving.

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。
Four Things People Get Wrong About Memory
Our memories of experiences, feelings and emotions play a huge role in our future behaviours. ____36____. We’re here to explain why some common assumptions about memory are incorrect.
1 Memories are accurate
Our memory is not perfect. How we remember things is shaped by our environment beliefs, and interpretation of an event. The brain is not a video recorder, accurately and constantly recording events around us. ____37____. Our memories are shaped by our own thoughts and feelings, making them not always reflective of what actually happened.
2 ____38____
It is a common belief that once formed, a memory remains constant for life. However, this is not true. Memory formation is a complex process involving many parts of the brain, creating both emotional and factual records. Over time, recalling a memory from a new perspective can reshape it into a new version. What’s more, when we tell a story many times, we might add or invent extra details, which over time become part of the memory.
3 Doing puzzles will improve your memory
Puzzles can help, but only within a specific context. ____39____. While they are a good way to keep the brain active, they do not significantly boost your overall memory. For broader benefits, activities like exercise are far more effective. Exercise requires learning movement sequences and increases blood flow to the brain, both of which enhance memory function.
4 Constant study improves performance
When studying for a test or presentation, the typical strategy is to spend long hours intensely reviewing material. While repetition has its place, it is incorrect to assume that more time always leads to better results. ____40____. You will often find that you recall information more effectively after a proper break than during the intense study session itself.
A. Memories don’t change
B. But they can often be misunderstood
C. Forgetting is always a sign of memory failure
D. Memories can be both conscious and unconscious
E. Your brain requires undisturbed rest to lock in information
F. We’re not able to rewind the tape to replay things we’ve seen
G. Doing crosswords, for example, will make you better at crosswords

But with each passing month, Nuri realized that his parents’ advice, while ____44____, wasn’t necessarily suitable for him.
By the time he was 24 years old, Nuri faced the kind of life crisis ____45____ found in people twice his age. Focusing on money, ____46____ and power was leaving him unfulfilled.

He had no interest in ____49____ specific cities, national parks or monuments. His goal was simple: Go where he could find people in settings where they might talk.
Over the next few months Nuri ____50____ people of all ages and races. Some kept walking. Others said they had no time or weren’t interested. But many were happy to ____51____.
The weeks had turned into months, and now he was traveling with the ____52____ of the1,300 people he’d talked to on his 15,000-mile trip. What they taught him was that life isn’t to be talked about, but to be ____53____ in all its messy beauty.
Today, Nuri is back in Chicago, ____54____ as a senior marketing director for a new company. He’s not the man he once was. He seeks answers to questions, which leads to more questions and more answers, a ____55____ that provides not certainty, but meaning.

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。
Jimmy and Tommy, good friends and adventure fans, decided to explore an unknown forest they had heard of from local old tales. After weeks of planning and gathering supplies, they set off, excited yet slightly nervous.
As they entered the forest, they were struck by its breathtaking beauty. Birds chirped, and leaves rustled in the gentle wind. They walked along a narrow path, amazed at the colorful flowers and occasional small animals running quickly through the bushes.
Deeper in the forest, they met an elderly hunter with a weather-beaten face. He held a rifle gun in his hands, a knife and a roll of ropes hanging on his waist, and a backpack on his back. He looked at them with concern. “Young men,” he asked, “where are you headed ”
“We’re exploring this forest,” Jimmy replied excitedly. “We’ve heard so many stories about it.”
The hunter nodded slowly. “It’s beautiful, but also dangerous. There are hidden dangers and animals that can harm you. You’d better turn back while you still can.” After walking several steps, he turned around and added, “By the way, you can go to my cottage nearby if you need any help.”
But Jimmy and Tommy were too excited to follow these words. They thanked him politely and continued on, confident of their abilities.
As the day went on, the forest became more challenging. The path disappeared, and they had to find their way through thick bushes. And then, Dark clouds gathered, and the wind picked up, making the bushes rustle more loudly. The air grew colder, and the forest sounds became strange and scary. They realized they had underestimated the forest’s complexity.
Suddenly, Tommy fell into a trap set for catching wild animals, hurting his ankle. He cried out in pain, and Jimmy rushed to the edge. “Are you okay ” he asked anxiously.
“I think I twisted (扭伤) my ankle,” Tommy replied, “I can’t climb out on my own.”
Jimmy tried to help with a stick, but the hole was too deep. They were lost, and Jimmy didn’t know what to do next.
注意：
(1) 续写词数应为150个左右；
(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Just then, some cautious footsteps drew near from some distance away.

Jimmy and Tommy gratefully accepted the offer and headed slowly for his cottage.
