M: Sure, and thank you for leading this question-and-answer period. So, the moon’s gravity (重力) is only 16% of the gravity we experience on the Earth. If you weigh 60 kilograms here, you’ll only weigh about 10 kilograms on the moon.
W: Unbelievable! How did walking around there feel
M: It felt more like jumping. If you can jump about half a meter high here, you could jump three meters on the moon.
W: Was that the most unforgettable part of your trip
M: Well, nothing can compare with seeing the Earth from 400,000 kilometers away. It’s amazing to see everything you know on a tiny blue ball from space.
W: That’ll make the trip worth it.
M: Yes. It took 16 days in total — with two days spent on the moon.
W: Thank you for sharing your story with us. Now, let’s take some questions from the crowd.

Money Daniels spends several hours every week cleaning up cans and bottles in the rivers near his home with other teen environmentalists in Chattanooga, TN. Together, they have collected more than 1 ton of aluminum cans, nearly 1,000 cans a week for a year. In January, he co-founded a club called the Cleanup Kids with his best friend. The project’s mission: to encourage kids to pick up 1 million pounds of trash across the globe before the end of the year.
Daniels says he first developed a passion for wildlife when he was 3. “As far back as I can remember, I’ve always loved animals,” Daniels says. Marine life especially interests him. When he began discovering trash on walks along the river with his family, he immediately thought of his favorite sea creatures.
His mission now is saving the earth’s rivers, which he points out are even more polluted than the world’s oceans. “Eighty percent of the ocean’s trash comes from rivers,” he says. In 2019, he adopted the name Conservation Kid on Instagram, and started posting about things like how something as simple as a deserted face mask can entangle (缠住), choke, and kill turtles, birds, and fish. Mask waste has increased an estimated 9,000% since the pandemic (疫情) began.
Although he mostly speaks to other teens, Daniels has found that adults are often persuaded by his argument that cleaning up, recycling, and ridding plastic ought to be a selfish act for humanity: when plastics break down, they can wind up in our drinking water. He has met with the mayor of his city, and his experiences speaking with influential grownups has convinced him that adults can change their habits.
But, in truth, the burden to save the planet has landed on children like him. “Kids may be a small percent of the population, but we’re 100% of the future,” he says. “And we can save the world.”
24. What led to the birth of Daniel’s project
A. The inspiration from his best friend. B. The goal to make a role model for kids.
C. The concern for the ocean life. D. The idea of other teen environmentalists.
25. Which can be inferred from paragraph 3
A. The ocean’s trash has grown rapidly. B. The river pollution requires less attention.
C. Many animals are infected in the pandemic. D. River waste contributes most to the ocean’s trash.
26. Which of the following can best describe Money Daniels
A. Optimistic and creative. B. Caring and responsible.
C. Considerate and generous. D. Courageous and devoted.
27. What is the passage mainly about
A. Grownups’ selfish behaviors for humanity.
B. A teenager’s contributions to saving the waters.
C. A youngster’s responsibility to protect the world.
D. Teen environmentalists’ efforts to clean the oceans.

The project’s mission: to encourage kids to pick up 1 million pounds of trash across the globe before the end of the year.”（Money Daniels和其他青少年环保主义者一起住在田纳西州查塔努加(Chattanooga)，他们每周花几个小时清理家附近河流里的罐子和瓶子。他们总共收集了1吨多的铝罐，每周收集近1000个。今年1月，他和他最好的朋友共同创立了一个名为“清理孩子”的俱乐部。该项目的使命是：鼓励孩子们在年底前在全球捡起100万磅的垃圾。）以及第二段中““As far back as I can remember, I’ve always loved animals,” Daniels says. Marine life especially interests him. When he began discovering trash on walks along the river with his family, he immediately thought of his favorite sea creatures.”（“从我记事起，我就一直很喜欢动物，”丹尼尔斯说。他对海洋生物特别感兴趣。当他和家人在河边散步时发现垃圾时，他立刻想到了他最喜欢的海洋生物。）可知，对海洋生物的关注促使了丹尼尔斯这个项目的诞生。故选C项。
25. 推理判断题。根据第三段中“His mission now is saving the earth’s rivers, which he points out are even more polluted than the world’s oceans. “Eighty percent of the ocean’s trash comes from rivers,” he says.”（他现在的任务是拯救地球上的河流，他指出，河流的污染程度甚至比世界上的海洋还要严重。“80%的海洋垃圾来自河流，”他说。）可知，从第三段可以推断出河流垃圾是海洋垃圾的主要来源。故选D项。
26. 推理判断题。根据第二段中““As far back as I can remember, I’ve always loved animals,” Daniels says. Marine life especially interests him. When he began discovering trash on walks along the river with his family, he immediately thought of his favorite sea creatures.”（“从我记事起，我就一直很喜欢动物，”丹尼尔斯说。他对海洋生物特别感兴趣。当他和家人在河边散步时发现垃圾时，他立刻想到了他最喜欢的海洋生物。）以及最后一段“But, in truth, the burden to save the planet has landed on children like him. “Kids may be a small percent of the population, but we’re 100% of the future,” he says. “And we can save the world.””（但事实上，拯救地球的重任落在了像他这样的孩子身上。“孩子可能只占人口的一小部分，但我们是100%的未来，”他说。“我们可以拯救世界。”）可推知，丹尼尔斯非常有爱心和责任心。故选B项。

C
Consumers rely on various ways to pay daily expenses. The problem is that they tend to spend more with cashless payment methods in comparison to cash. This striking cashless effect has recently been confirmed by researchers from the University of Adelaide.
Led by PhD Student Lachlan Schomburgk, the research team analysed 71 published and unpublished studies from 17 countries, including data from more than 11,000 unique participants. They’ve found that cashless payments lead people to spend more on status-signalling goods like jewellery, while this effect is notably absent in acts of donation or tipping.
“Through this meta-analysis, we identified key factors that make the cashless effect stronger or weaker, which individual studies could not find. By doing this, we uncovered new key understandings that had often been overlooked by other researchers in individual studies.” Schomburgk explains.
The findings indicate that consumers should be mindful of how they pay for goods or services, as this helps them spend less, especially critical in the current cost-of-living crisis. To avoid overspending, they’re advised to carry cash instead of cards whenever possible as a self-control method. When using cash, they count and hand over notes and coins, making spending more noticeable. If nothing is physically handed over, it’s easy to lose track of how much is spent.
The study also provides useful insights for businesses and policymakers. “Businesses should know failing to accept the cashless revolution might unintentionally be jeopardising profit potential,” Schomburgk says. “And policymakers should communicate to individuals unfamiliar with cashless payments, such as people who don’t have bank accounts, about the possibility of cashless methods to lead to overspending.”
Schomburgk stresses a need for urgent in-depth studies of new payment methods, as research on their specific impacts remains limited due to their novelty. Studying these methods is vital to keep pace with the evolving payment ecosystem and deepen understanding of modern consumers’ spending habits.
28. What has the study found about the cashless effect
A. It exists in acts of donation. B. It weakens with more cash use.
C. It links to the living cost crisis. D. It works in specific consumption.
29. Why did the team adopt the meta-analysis
A. To solve the overspending problem. B. To compare cash and cashless payments.
C. To confirm factors causing the effect. D. To break the limitations of single studies.
30. What does the underlined word “jeopardising” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Risking. B. Preserving. C. Shifting. D. Boosting.
31. What can be inferred about new payments according to Schomburgk
A. They need to be popularized. B. They are developing rapidly.
C. They should be further studied. D. They will affect spending habits.
【答案】28. D 29. D 30. A 31. C
【难度】0.56
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于“无现金效应”的元分析研究，该研究发现消费者使用无现金支付方式时倾向于花费更多，并探讨了这一现象对个人、企业和政策制定者的启示。
28. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“They’ve found that cashless payments lead people to spend more on status-signalling goods like jewellery, while this effect is notably absent in acts of donation or tipping. (他们发现，无现金支付会导致人们在珠宝等身份象征商品上花费更多，而这种效应在捐赠或给小费的行为中明显不存在)”可知，研究发现“无现金效应”存在于特定的消费中。故选D项。
29. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Through this meta-analysis, we identified key factors that make the cashless effect stronger or weaker, which individual studies could not find. By doing this, we uncovered new key understandings that had often been overlooked by other researchers in individual studies. (通过这项元分析，我们确定了使无现金效应增强或减弱的关键因素，这是单项研究无法发现的。通过这样做，我们揭示了在单项研究中经常被其他研究人员忽视的新关键理解)”可知，研究团队采用元分析是为了打破单项研究的局限性。故选D项。
30. 词句猜测题。根据第五段中“Businesses should know failing to accept the cashless revolution might unintentionally be jeopardising profit potential (企业应该知道，不接受无现金革命可能会无意中jeopardising利润潜力)”以及前文所述无现金支付会导致消费者花费更多，因此不接受无现金支付可能会“损害”利润潜力。故划线词意为“使……冒风险；损害”，与“Risking”同义。故选A项。
31. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Schomburgk stresses a need for urgent in-depth studies of new payment methods, as research on their specific impacts remains limited due to their novelty. (Schomburgk强调，迫切需要对新的支付方式进行深入研究，因为由于其新颖性，关于其具体影响的研究仍然有限)”可知，新的支付方式需要进一步研究。故选C项。
D
Researchers and policy makers have long studied pilot schemes (方案) such as public health initiatives or innovative schools. They find the phenomenon of the pilot delivering satisfying results, only to fade at a larger scale. This depressing tendency was called “voltage drop” by the psychiatrist Amy Kilbourne and her coworkers in 2007.
The economist John List has been exploring the cause of this voltage drop, first in 2019 paper with Omar Al-Ubaydli and Dana Suskind, then in a recent book, The Voltage Effect. So why does the voltage drop for so many promising ideas One common problem is that the original effect was not real. Consider a famous experiment, conducted by psychologists Sheena lyengar and Mark Lepper, in which customers in a high-end supermarket were offered free samples of jam from a choice of either 6 or 24 flavours. The wider choice was dramatically de-motivating. Ten times as many people bought jam after being shown the smaller range.
It is one of the most famous results in psychology; it has also proved rather difficult to repeat in follow-up experiments. Perhaps the effect is completely non-existent, or perhaps the effect exists but with nothing like the force exhibited in the original experiment. Does anyone seriously believe your local supermarket would sell 10 times as much produce if only it simplified its product line
Another source of voltage drop is when the original effect does not generalise beyond unusual circumstances. My favourite example is the Arch Deluxe, a hamburger launched by McDonald’s with a marketing fanfare(宣传). The fast-food giant had every reason to expect success, because focus groups loved the Arch Deluixe’s bakery-style rolls, peppered bacon and stoneground mustard-mayo dressing.
The problems, says List, is that the focus group enthusiasts were not a good guide to the attitude of the typical consumer: “A person who signs up to take part in a McDonald’s focus group is probably someone who is crazy about McDonald’s or loves all kinds of burgers, or both. But the average person, it turns out, goes to McDonald’s for the Big Mac, not a fancier version of one.”
Even if the idea is real, and generalises to a wide audience, it may be difficult to repeat the performance once it ventures beyond the control of the original creative team. A pilot school may work well, but it is easier to hire 20 good teachers than 20,000. A brilliant chef can work in only one kitchen at a time.
32. Which statement best describes “voltage drop”？
A. A scheme has been piloted before being really carried out.
B. A scheme serves its intended purpose well on a large scale.
C. A scheme works well when tested but fails when launched.
D. A scheme like a health initiative is designed for a group of people.
33. What can be implied about the experiment conducted by Sheena lyengar and Mark Lepper
A. It lasted too long a time.
B. Its conclusion may not be reliable.
C. Its follow-up experiments showed opposite results.
D. It discouraged people from going to the supermarket.
34. Why does the author use the example of the Arch Deluxe
A. To explain the creativity of an idea matters a lot.
B. To explain an idea may not generalise to a larger group.
C. To explain McDonald’s is not popular with average people.
D. To explain the attitude of the typical consumer varies.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. Why some great ideas fail. B. How to avoid voltage drop.
C. How to make a workable plan. D. Why experimentation is important.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“电压下降”现象，说明为什么一些起初很伟大的想法最终却会失败。
32. 推理判断题。根据第一段中“They find the phenomenon of the pilot delivering satisfying results, only to fade at a larger scale. This depressing tendency was called ‘voltage drop’ by the psychiatrist Amy Kilbourne and her coworkers in 2007.(他们发现试点带来令人满意的结果这一现象，不料在更大的范围内消失了。2007年，精神病学家Amy Kilbourne和她的同事将这种令人沮丧的趋势称为‘电压下降’。)”可知，一个方案在测试时很有效，但在启动时就失败了最能最能描述“电压下降”。故选C项。
33. 推理判断题。根据第三段中“It is one of the most famous results in psychology; it has also proved rather difficult to repeat in follow-up experiments. Perhaps the effect is completely non-existent, or perhaps the effect exists but with nothing like the force exhibited in the original experiment.(这是心理学中最著名的结果之一；事实也证明，在后续实验中很难重复。也许这种效应是完全不存在的，或者也许这种效应是存在的，但没有像最初的实验中所显示的那样的有力。)”可知，Sheena lyengar和Mark Lepper的实验暗示了结论可能不可靠。故选B项。
34. 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Another source of voltage drop is when the original effect does not generalise beyond unusual circumstances. My favourite example is the Arch Deluxe, a hamburger launched by McDonald’s with a marketing fanfare(宣传). (电压下降的另一个来源是当原来的影响不能推广到异常情况之外时。我最喜欢的例子是Arch Deluxe，这是麦当劳大张旗鼓推出的一款汉堡。)”以及最后一段中“Even if the idea is real, and generalises to a wide audience, it may be difficult to repeat the performance once it ventures beyond the control of the original creative team.(即使这个想法是真实的，并且可以推广到广泛的受众，一旦它超出了原始创意团队的控制范围，就很难重复这种表现。)”可知，作者以Arch Deluxe为例是为了解释一个想法可能不能推广到更大的群体。故选B项。
35. 主旨大意题。根据全文及最后一段“Even if the idea is real, and generalises to a wide audience, it may be difficult to repeat the performance once it ventures beyond the control of the original creative team. A pilot school may work well, but it is easier to hire 20 good teachers than 20,000. A brilliant chef can work in only one kitchen at a time.(即使这个想法是真实的，并且可以推广到广泛的受众，一旦它超出了原始创意团队的控制范围，就很难重复这种表现。一所试点学校可能运作良好，但雇佣20名好教师比雇佣2万名好教师要容易得多。一个优秀的厨师一次只能在一个厨房工作。)”可知，这篇文章的主要内容是为什么一些起初很伟大的想法最终却会失败。故选A项。

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。
Mind mapping is a great way to plan out projects, ideas, and plans. 36 Here are the four steps of mind mapping and how you can apply it in your life.
Before you start, think about what it is that you want to mind map about. If we take the example of presenting to an audience, ask yourself, “What exactly do I want to tell my audience ” and “What do I want them to leave knowing ” 37 Once you know your question, write that down in the middle of the page. 38 Don’t try and edit yourself. No matter how crazy, wild, or stupid something may seem at first, get it down onto your mind map. You can remove ideas later. Editing yourself at an early stage will not produce your best ideas.
After your initial brainstorm, giving yourself a few days will produce more ideas and expand others. A few days later, come back to your mind map and give yourself another hour or two with it. 39 Meanwhile, you may also see ideas that don’t work—you can leave them just in case they bring more ideas later. After this session, you will have a lot of ideas, answers, and steps.
The next stage is where you make small changes about these ideas and start to structure the next steps. You now need to decide in what order you will move forward. Once you have all your ideas and points numbered, you can then move those to your to-do list manager and place them in the right order. You may find that as you begin working on your project, you change your order round. 40
A. You will find you have a lot more ideas to add.
B. It encourages you to go deeper with your ideas.
C. The clearer your question, the better answers you will get.
D. Once you have your question written down, let yourself go.
E. Your brain is likely to give you unrealistic or unclear answers.
F. But you will at least have a place to start by having an initial order.
G. It gives you a visual means to brainstorm your ideas and the foundations of a structure.
【答案】36. G 37. C 38. D 39. A 40. F
【难度】0.4
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文中阐述了思维导图的制作过程以及如何在现实生活中利用思维导图。
36. 根据上一句“Mind mapping is a great way to plan out projects, ideas, and plans”可知，作者在文中开头就阐述了思维导图是规划项目、想法和计划的好方法，进一步很可能涉及到思维导图的特点，因此G选项“It gives you a visual means to brainstorm your ideas and the foundations of a structure（它为你提供了一种直观的方式来集思广益你的想法和基础构思）”切题，选项中的“ideas”与上文中的“ideas”相呼应，故选G项。
37. 根据本段下一句“Once you know your question, write that down in the middle of the page.”可知，在制作思维导图之前，要尽可能地去明确有哪些相关问题，一旦知道了就记下来，因此，C选项“The clearer your question, the better answers you will get（你的问题越清楚，你得到的答案就越好）”切题，选项中的“question”与下一句中的“question”相呼应，故选C项。
38. 根据下一句“Don’t try and edit yourself. No matter how crazy, wild, or stupid something may seem at first, get it down onto your mind map.”可知，当明确相关问题并把记在你的思维导图上以后，不要去更改，不管问题看起来有多么疯狂和愚蠢，因此D项“Once you have your question written down，let yourself go（一旦你把你的问题写下来，就让你自己从问题上走开）”切题，选项中的“let yourself go”与下一句中的“Don't try and edit yourself”相呼应，故选D项。
39. 根据上一句“After your initial brainstorm, giving yourself a few days will produce more ideas and expand others. A few days later, come back to your mind map and give yourself another hour or two with it.”可知，在最初的头脑风暴完成之后，给自己几天来产生更多的想法，然后再回到思维导图上思考一两个小时，很可能会有新的想法出现，因此，A.选项“You will find you have a lot more ideas to add.（你会发现你还有很多想法要补充。）”切题，选项中的“a lot more ideas”与上一句中的“more ideas”相呼应。故选A项。
40. 根据上一句“Once you have all your ideas and points numbered, you can then move those to your to-do list manager and place them in the right order. You may find that as you begin working on your project, you change your order round.”可知，一旦你把所有的想法和要点都做好了，你就可以把它们移到你的待办事项列表管理器中，并按正确的顺序排列。当你开始做你的项目时，你可能会发现，你想改变顺序链，因此F选项“But you will at least have a place to start by having an initial order.（但你至少有一处可以从最初的顺序开始）”切题，选项中的“order”与上一句中的“order”相呼应，故选F项。

This happened around November of 2015 when I was working at a local hotel. It was the night shift when an elderly man came to ask for a room. After going through the regular procedure for getting him 41 , he told me his story.
He and his wife had come up into my hometown for a 42 , but his wife had a medical emergency and was taken to the nearby hospital. Unwilling to 43 the trip or make another long drive home, he decided to spend a few nights at the hotel to get closer to knowing his wife’s situation. As I’m talking to him, he told me he was a veteran from Vietnam and he started to 44 his time in the service, talking about his wartime friends and the 45 they’d made during that hard time.
I was 46 by this and kept talking to him about his experiences. As we talked, I stepped into the backroom to place an order for a pizza. When the food was 47 , the man started to excuse himself, claiming he didn’t want to 48 my meal. When I told him it was for him, he cried — for the first time someone had 49 a hand of generosity to him.
He showed me his badge and then talked about how Vietnam soldiers weren’t 50 the best when they came back to American soil and that further moved me.
As he headed to his hotel room, I carried his 51 and followed. He tried to stop me, but I insisted, saying I was 52 to respect elders and lend a helping hand wherever I could, since a small act of 53 would go a long way. The veteran thanked me 54 . The next day, I went home feeling like the most accomplished individual, knowing I’d 55 in someone’s life.

【答案】范文一
Dear Chris,
I’m thrilled about your Taste of China series. After comparing the two themes, I think Street Snacks would be a more compelling choice.
Street snacks, which are deeply rooted in people’s daily lives, are not only affordable but also carry strong local characteristics, making it easier for viewers to relate. Moreover, filming at street stalls allows you to capture lively scenes of vendors skillfully preparing food and people chatting happily while enjoying their snacks. This way, you can showcase the delicious food as well as the vibrant atmosphere of Chinese communities.
I believe such a series will be a great success, which is definitely a good opportunity to help spread Chinese culinary culture. Looking forward to your amazing videos!
Yours,

Moreover, filming these dishes enables you to capture chefs’ exquisite craftsmanship, which requires strict control over ingredients and fire, as well as elegant dining scenes like traditional banquets.

第二节（满分25分）
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
After an exhausting week of deadlines, I decided to treat myself to a generous meal — a golden rotisserie chicken from a nearby store. Yet choosing to come on a weekend was clearly a mistake: The store was packed with hurried shoppers. I made my way through the crowded aisles with a single goal: to grab my chicken. Then I would escape back to my quiet apartment.
When I reached the food counter, however, the warming shelf stood empty. A line had formed, and an employee called out that the next and last batch would be ready in ten minutes. I took my place at the back, already feeling the tiredness of the week sink in. Right behind me stood an elderly gentleman. As we waited, I couldn’t help but overhear his soft phone conversation: “Yes, sweetie, Grandpa hasn’t forgotten... I’ll bring your birthday chicken home soon. Be good until I’m back.”
“His granddaughter must be a fan of the delicious chicken, “I thought — after all, these rotisserie chickens were always selling out fast. Yet I didn’t think much about the phone call, and instead focused on the food counter ahead.
Soon, steaming chickens were brought out. The line moved forward and the supply decreased quickly. I found myself second to last in line, with only the elderly gentleman behind me. When I noticed there were only three chickens left, my heart sank — there was a real chance that I might leave empty-handed. Silently, I began praying that the friendly woman ahead, who had chatted with me earlier, would take only two. Then, just as I reached the front, I heard her say to the employee, “I’ll take two.” Relief and a spark of excitement rushed through me — my quiet prayer had been answered. The last chicken would be mine.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】One possible version:
However, just as I reached for the last carefully wrapped chicken, I hesitated. The elderly gentleman’s voice replayed in my mind — “I’ll bring your birthday chicken home soon.” This wasn’t just a meal — it was a promise meant for a child. Turning to him, I apologized for unintentionally overhearing his phone call and said softly, “Please, take it. Your granddaughter is waiting.” His eyes widened in surprise and then softened with emotion. “I couldn’t,” he insisted. “You were here before me.” We stood there for a moment, bound by courtesy and one golden chicken.
Just then, the friendly woman walked towards me and the elderly gentleman. She had overheard our exchange. With a warm smile, she extended one of her packages to the elderly gentleman. “A promise should be honored,” she said kindly. “Please take this one — I bought an extra.” The elderly gentleman looked surprised at first, but then accepted it with a grateful smile, and I was finally able to take the last chicken from the counter. In that crowded store, a simple act of grace magically turned strangers into a warm community.

Money Daniels spends several hours every week cleaning up cans and bottles in the rivers near his home with other teen environmentalists in Chattanooga, TN. Together, they have collected more than 1 ton of aluminum cans, nearly 1,000 cans a week for a year. In January, he co-founded a club called the Cleanup Kids with his best friend. The project’s mission: to encourage kids to pick up 1 million pounds of trash across the globe before the end of the year.
Daniels says he first developed a passion for wildlife when he was 3. “As far back as I can remember, I’ve always loved animals,” Daniels says. Marine life especially interests him. When he began discovering trash on walks along the river with his family, he immediately thought of his favorite sea creatures.
His mission now is saving the earth’s rivers, which he points out are even more polluted than the world’s oceans. “Eighty percent of the ocean’s trash comes from rivers,” he says. In 2019, he adopted the name Conservation Kid on Instagram, and started posting about things like how something as simple as a deserted face mask can entangle (缠住), choke, and kill turtles, birds, and fish. Mask waste has increased an estimated 9,000% since the pandemic (疫情) began.
Although he mostly speaks to other teens, Daniels has found that adults are often persuaded by his argument that cleaning up, recycling, and ridding plastic ought to be a selfish act for humanity: when plastics break down, they can wind up in our drinking water. He has met with the mayor of his city, and his experiences speaking with influential grownups has convinced him that adults can change their habits.
But, in truth, the burden to save the planet has landed on children like him. “Kids may be a small percent of the population, but we’re 100% of the future,” he says. “And we can save the world.”
24. What led to the birth of Daniel’s project
A. The inspiration from his best friend. B. The goal to make a role model for kids.
C. The concern for the ocean life. D. The idea of other teen environmentalists.
25. Which can be inferred from paragraph 3
A. The ocean’s trash has grown rapidly. B. The river pollution requires less attention.
C. Many animals are infected in the pandemic. D. River waste contributes most to the ocean’s trash.
26. Which of the following can best describe Money Daniels
A. Optimistic and creative. B. Caring and responsible.
C. Considerate and generous. D. Courageous and devoted.
27. What is the passage mainly about
A. Grownups’ selfish behaviors for humanity.
B. A teenager’s contributions to saving the waters.
C. A youngster’s responsibility to protect the world.
D. Teen environmentalists’ efforts to clean the oceans.
C
Consumers rely on various ways to pay daily expenses. The problem is that they tend to spend more with cashless payment methods in comparison to cash. This striking cashless effect has recently been confirmed by researchers from the University of Adelaide.
Led by PhD Student Lachlan Schomburgk, the research team analysed 71 published and unpublished studies from 17 countries, including data from more than 11,000 unique participants. They’ve found that cashless payments lead people to spend more on status-signalling goods like jewellery, while this effect is notably absent in acts of donation or tipping.
“Through this meta-analysis, we identified key factors that make the cashless effect stronger or weaker, which individual studies could not find. By doing this, we uncovered new key understandings that had often been overlooked by other researchers in individual studies.” Schomburgk explains.
The findings indicate that consumers should be mindful of how they pay for goods or services, as this helps them spend less, especially critical in the current cost-of-living crisis. To avoid overspending, they’re advised to carry cash instead of cards whenever possible as a self-control method. When using cash, they count and hand over notes and coins, making spending more noticeable. If nothing is physically handed over, it’s easy to lose track of how much is spent.
The study also provides useful insights for businesses and policymakers. “Businesses should know failing to accept the cashless revolution might unintentionally be jeopardising profit potential,” Schomburgk says. “And policymakers should communicate to individuals unfamiliar with cashless payments, such as people who don’t have bank accounts, about the possibility of cashless methods to lead to overspending.”
Schomburgk stresses a need for urgent in-depth studies of new payment methods, as research on their specific impacts remains limited due to their novelty. Studying these methods is vital to keep pace with the evolving payment ecosystem and deepen understanding of modern consumers’ spending habits.
28. What has the study found about the cashless effect
A. It exists in acts of donation. B. It weakens with more cash use.
C. It links to the living cost crisis. D. It works in specific consumption.
29. Why did the team adopt the meta-analysis
A. To solve the overspending problem. B. To compare cash and cashless payments.
C. To confirm factors causing the effect. D. To break the limitations of single studies.
30. What does the underlined word “jeopardising” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Risking. B. Preserving. C. Shifting. D. Boosting.
31. What can be inferred about new payments according to Schomburgk
A. They need to be popularized. B. They are developing rapidly.
C. They should be further studied. D. They will affect spending habits.
D
Researchers and policy makers have long studied pilot schemes (方案) such as public health initiatives or innovative schools. They find the phenomenon of the pilot delivering satisfying results, only to fade at a larger scale. This depressing tendency was called “voltage drop” by the psychiatrist Amy Kilbourne and her coworkers in 2007.
The economist John List has been exploring the cause of this voltage drop, first in 2019 paper with Omar Al-Ubaydli and Dana Suskind, then in a recent book, The Voltage Effect. So why does the voltage drop for so many promising ideas One common problem is that the original effect was not real. Consider a famous experiment, conducted by psychologists Sheena lyengar and Mark Lepper, in which customers in a high-end supermarket were offered free samples of jam from a choice of either 6 or 24 flavours. The wider choice was dramatically de-motivating. Ten times as many people bought jam after being shown the smaller range.
It is one of the most famous results in psychology; it has also proved rather difficult to repeat in follow-up experiments. Perhaps the effect is completely non-existent, or perhaps the effect exists but with nothing like the force exhibited in the original experiment. Does anyone seriously believe your local supermarket would sell 10 times as much produce if only it simplified its product line
Another source of voltage drop is when the original effect does not generalise beyond unusual circumstances. My favourite example is the Arch Deluxe, a hamburger launched by McDonald’s with a marketing fanfare(宣传). The fast-food giant had every reason to expect success, because focus groups loved the Arch Deluixe’s bakery-style rolls, peppered bacon and stoneground mustard-mayo dressing.
The problems, says List, is that the focus group enthusiasts were not a good guide to the attitude of the typical consumer: “A person who signs up to take part in a McDonald’s focus group is probably someone who is crazy about McDonald’s or loves all kinds of burgers, or both. But the average person, it turns out, goes to McDonald’s for the Big Mac, not a fancier version of one.”
Even if the idea is real, and generalises to a wide audience, it may be difficult to repeat the performance once it ventures beyond the control of the original creative team. A pilot school may work well, but it is easier to hire 20 good teachers than 20,000. A brilliant chef can work in only one kitchen at a time.
32. Which statement best describes “voltage drop”？
A. A scheme has been piloted before being really carried out.
B. A scheme serves its intended purpose well on a large scale.
C. A scheme works well when tested but fails when launched.
D. A scheme like a health initiative is designed for a group of people.
33. What can be implied about the experiment conducted by Sheena lyengar and Mark Lepper
A. It lasted too long a time.
B. Its conclusion may not be reliable.
C. Its follow-up experiments showed opposite results.
D. It discouraged people from going to the supermarket.
34. Why does the author use the example of the Arch Deluxe
A. To explain the creativity of an idea matters a lot.
B. To explain an idea may not generalise to a larger group.
C. To explain McDonald’s is not popular with average people.
D. To explain the attitude of the typical consumer varies.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. Why some great ideas fail. B. How to avoid voltage drop.
C. How to make a workable plan. D. Why experimentation is important.

Mind mapping is a great way to plan out projects, ideas, and plans. 36 Here are the four steps of mind mapping and how you can apply it in your life.
Before you start, think about what it is that you want to mind map about. If we take the example of presenting to an audience, ask yourself, “What exactly do I want to tell my audience ” and “What do I want them to leave knowing ” 37 Once you know your question, write that down in the middle of the page. 38 Don’t try and edit yourself. No matter how crazy, wild, or stupid something may seem at first, get it down onto your mind map. You can remove ideas later. Editing yourself at an early stage will not produce your best ideas.
After your initial brainstorm, giving yourself a few days will produce more ideas and expand others. A few days later, come back to your mind map and give yourself another hour or two with it. 39 Meanwhile, you may also see ideas that don’t work—you can leave them just in case they bring more ideas later. After this session, you will have a lot of ideas, answers, and steps.
The next stage is where you make small changes about these ideas and start to structure the next steps. You now need to decide in what order you will move forward. Once you have all your ideas and points numbered, you can then move those to your to-do list manager and place them in the right order. You may find that as you begin working on your project, you change your order round. 40
A. You will find you have a lot more ideas to add.
B. It encourages you to go deeper with your ideas.
C. The clearer your question, the better answers you will get.
D. Once you have your question written down, let yourself go.
E. Your brain is likely to give you unrealistic or unclear answers.
F. But you will at least have a place to start by having an initial order.
G. It gives you a visual means to brainstorm your ideas and the foundations of a structure.

This happened around November of 2015 when I was working at a local hotel. It was the night shift when an elderly man came to ask for a room. After going through the regular procedure for getting him 41 , he told me his story.

I was 46 by this and kept talking to him about his experiences. As we talked, I stepped into the backroom to place an order for a pizza. When the food was 47 , the man started to excuse himself, claiming he didn’t want to 48 my meal. When I told him it was for him, he cried — for the first time someone had 49 a hand of generosity to him.
He showed me his badge and then talked about how Vietnam soldiers weren’t 50 the best when they came back to American soil and that further moved me.
As he headed to his hotel room, I carried his 51 and followed. He tried to stop me, but I insisted, saying I was 52 to respect elders and lend a helping hand wherever I could, since a small act of 53 would go a long way. The veteran thanked me 54 . The next day, I went home feeling like the most accomplished individual, knowing I’d 55 in someone’s life.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
After an exhausting week of deadlines, I decided to treat myself to a generous meal — a golden rotisserie chicken from a nearby store. Yet choosing to come on a weekend was clearly a mistake: The store was packed with hurried shoppers. I made my way through the crowded aisles with a single goal: to grab my chicken. Then I would escape back to my quiet apartment.
When I reached the food counter, however, the warming shelf stood empty. A line had formed, and an employee called out that the next and last batch would be ready in ten minutes. I took my place at the back, already feeling the tiredness of the week sink in. Right behind me stood an elderly gentleman. As we waited, I couldn’t help but overhear his soft phone conversation: “Yes, sweetie, Grandpa hasn’t forgotten... I’ll bring your birthday chicken home soon. Be good until I’m back.”
“His granddaughter must be a fan of the delicious chicken, “I thought — after all, these rotisserie chickens were always selling out fast. Yet I didn’t think much about the phone call, and instead focused on the food counter ahead.
Soon, steaming chickens were brought out. The line moved forward and the supply decreased quickly. I found myself second to last in line, with only the elderly gentleman behind me. When I noticed there were only three chickens left, my heart sank — there was a real chance that I might leave empty-handed. Silently, I began praying that the friendly woman ahead, who had chatted with me earlier, would take only two. Then, just as I reached the front, I heard her say to the employee, “I’ll take two.” Relief and a spark of excitement rushed through me — my quiet prayer had been answered. The last chicken would be mine.
