You are a Stanford student. Your professor walks into the room, breaks the class into teams, and gives each team five dollars in funding.Your goal is to make as much money as possible within two hours and then give a three-minute presentation about your achievement. What would you do
Typical answers range from buying start-up materials for a lemonade stand to buying a lottery ticket (彩票). But the teams that follow these typical paths tend to bring up the rear in the class.
The teams that make the most money don’t use the five dollars at all. They realize the five dollars is a worthless resource. So they ignore it and start from square one. They redefine the problem more broadly as “What can we do to make money if we start with absolutely nothing ”
One particularly successful team ended up making reservations at popular local restaurants and then selling the reservation times to those who wanted to skip the wait. These students generated an impressive few hundred dollars in just two hours. But the team that made the most money approached the problem differently. They realized the most valuable resource was the three-minute presentation time they had in front of attentive Stanford students. They sold their three-minute slot (时段) to a company interested in employing Stanford students and walked away with $650.
The five-dollar challenge illustrates the difference between tactics (战术) and strategy. A strategy is a plan for achieving an objective. Tactics, in contrast, are the actions you undertake to carry out the strategy. The Stanford students who bombed the $5 challenge fixated on a tactic — how to use the five dollars — and lost sight of the strategy. Once you define the problem broadly in terms of what you’re trying to do instead of your favored solution — you’ll discover other possibilities waiting in plain sight.
4. What is the function of paragraph 1
A．To present a typical class at Stanford. B．To lead into the five-dollar challenge.
C．To gather answers to a survey question. D．To stress the priority of making money.
5. What does the underlined phrase “bring up the rear” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Be miles ahead. B．Be at the bottom.
C．Be hard to notice. D．Be unlikely to last.
6. What can we infer about the two successful teams
A．They think outside the box. B．They insist on initial intentions.
C．They benefit from collecting data. D．They source answers through practice.
7. What is suggested in the last paragraph
A．A penny saved is a penny earned.
B．Practice yields genuine knowledge.
C．Solutions lie in seeing the big picture.
D．Strategy without tactics delays success.
C
Researchers showed people pictures of two knots (绳结) and asked them to point to the strongest one. They couldn’t. They showed people videos of each knot, where the knots turn slowly so they could get a good long look. They still failed. People couldn’t even manage it when researchers showed them each knot next to a diagram of the knots’ construction.
The study in the journal Open Mind reveals a new blind spot in our physical reasoning. The experiment is the brainchild of a PhD student in Firestone’s lab, Sholei Croom. Croom, who studies intuitive (直觉的) physics, or what people understand about the environment just from looking at it, suspected knots might be a rare blind spot.
“People make predictions all the time about how the physics of the world will play out but something about knots didn’t feel intuitive to me,” Croom says. “You don’t need to touch a pile of books to judge its stability. You don’t have to feel a bowling ball to guess how many pins it will knock over.”
The researchers showed participants four knots that are physically similar but have a range of strength. People were asked to look at the knots, two at a time, and point to the strongest one.
Participants were consistently incorrect. What’s more, the few times they guessed right, they did so for the wrong reasons, pointing to aspects of the knot that had nothing to do with its strength. The knots ranged from one of the strongest basic knots in existence to one so weak that it can come undone if you just touch it gently. Even between those two, side by side, people couldn’t point to the strong one.
The human psychological system just fails to ascertain any physical knowledge from the properties of the knot. Objects that aren’t rigid, such as string, may be harder for people to reason about than solid ones, Croom says. “It’s a nice case study into how many open questions still remain in our ability to reason about the environment.”
8. Why does Croom design the study
A．To test the strength of different types of knots.
B．To explore ways in predicting patterns of knots.
C．To test the visual judgment of knot strength.
D．To measure the intuitive effects of knot tying.
9. Why does Croom mention judging a “pile of books” and a “bowling ball”
A．To list common tasks in intuitive physics studies.
B．To contrast easy judgments with the knot challenge.
C．To prove that physical reasoning is always accurate.
D．To argue for the need to touch objects for judgment.
10. What can be inferred about the participants in the study
A．They performed better when shown turning videos.
B．They correctly identified knots based on key features.
C．Their correct guesses were not based on relevant clues.
D．They lacked any personal experience with tying knots.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．A Brief Introduction to Different Types of Knots
B．A New Blind Spot in Human Perception Found
C．How Intuitive Physics Helps Understand the World
D．Why Some People Are Better at Judging Knot Strength
D
Planting trees alone won’t stop global warming, and nature-based climate solutions are not a licence to keep emitting (排放). That’s the underlying message of a paper published last fall in Nature by a group of climate scientists.
Increasingly, Weaver, one of the scientists says, fossil (化石) fuel companies and major polluters are buying carbon credits to offset (抵消) their greenhouse gas emissions — but this reflects a faulty understanding of what it will take to achieve net-zero emissions and stop runaway warming. Weaver discusses the backwards logic of offsets.
Nature-based climate solutions and carbon offsets distract from what we know is the problem: the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. They go up, and we need them to come down. The best thing to do is stop letting them go up in the first place. But we also have to get them down — permanently, not attached to a tree. Claiming “I’m not going to cut down that tree over there if you give me money” is not a carbon offset. It’s like me saying to you, “Please give me $10, 000; otherwise, I’m going to go to my car dealer and buy a big, gas-heavy SUV.” It’s just silly.
The problem with our current understanding of net zero is that it doesn't reflect the time periods involved. When we burn fossil carbon, really what we’re doing is taking ancient forests that died and became coal over tens of millions of years — at high pressures deep under the Earth's surface — and we’re putting that up in the atmosphere in just a few decades and expecting a tree to grow and somehow be an offset. A tree lives for 100 years and then dies and gives the carbon back to the atmosphere. That’s why we refer to geological (地质的) net zero. It means that emissions from fossil fuels must be balanced by carbon that is permanently sequestered in geological reserves, whether it be through carbon capture and storage or direct air capture and storage.12. What is the idea of the group of scientists
12. What is the idea of the group of scientists
A. Planting trees is the best way to stop global warming.
B. Nature-based climate solutions really work very well.
C. Buying carbon credits is effective net-zero emissions.
D. The logic of offsets, maybe imperfect, is to be discussed.
13. How does the writer explain not cutting down a tree for money as a silly idea in para. 3
A. By definition.
B. By comparison.
C. By analysis.
D. By description.
14. What is the problem when people try to understand net zero
A. They turn a blind eye to the relevant durations.
B. They overemphasize the direct air capture ability.
C. They overestimate the number of trees needed.
D. They fail to consider the geological reserve ability.
15. What does the underlined word “sequestered”in the last paragraph mean
A. Released.
B. Produced.
C. Stored.
D. Destroyed.

You sit down to study. You open your notes. Then you check your phone — just for a second. An hour later, you’ve watched three short videos, scrolled through some web pages, and learned nothing. Sound familiar You’re not alone. The ability to focus has become one of the most valuable skills in modern education. However, focus is a skill, and like any skill, it can be trained. 16
● Make a timetable.
If you have a long night of studying ahead of you, make a plan for the day. Try dividing work into smaller parts. Aim to work for 30-60 minute periods with 5-10 minute breaks in between. 17 It’s not laziness — it’s letting your brain process the information.
● Choose the right spot.
Whether it is your room or a library, choose an atmosphere that is silent and free of distractions (干扰) to concentrate. 18 What’s more, you need a comfortable chair and good lighting. There should be no strain (压力) on your back, neck, or eyes — pain is also a distraction.
● Turn off your electronics.
19 Only use your computer, if you need it for your studies; otherwise, it’s just an unnecessary risk. As for your phone — put it in airplane mode unless you need it on for an emergency.
● 20
The fact of the matter is that we all have the periods of high energy and low energy throughout the day. When are you If possible, study during your high-energy time. You’ll be able to focus better and remember the knowledge you’re inputting into your brain. Studying at any other time will simply be a real struggle.
A．Listen to your body.
B．Figure out your learning style.
C．Your brain needs the break to recharge.
D．If you tell yourself you can focus, you actually can.

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.
I’m a manager in a restaurant at a popular park resort (度假地) in the UK. I was taking care of a new starter who had joined us for a summer job. He is a bright and motivated man, but this was his first job, so he was understandably nervous.
First, I had him clean the tables to help him get used to the routine; eventually, it came time for him to practice taking an order. I helped him with the first few tables, and he seemed fine. So, I told him to wait for a table on his own while I waited close by. To be safe, I gave him a smaller table with a couple rather than a family or large group.
It seemed to go well. The couple was friendly, and they had a good chat. He managed to answer their questions about a few menu items. So far, so good! Except not! It turned out that he was so nervous that he messed up the order. The couple came up and explained that some items from their order were missing and that what they had received wasn’t quite right. They were nice about it and didn’t raise their voices, but the new starter looked absolutely depressed, as if he wanted to throw in the towel right then and there.
The mistakes weren’t major. Staff take down orders on a little handheld tablet, and I suspect he may have just pushed the wrong buttons — something easily done when one is still learning — but there were still a lot of mistakes that required correction.
I apologized to the couple, saying, “I’m sorry for the inconvenience. It’s his first day. I’ll comp (免费招待) your meal and get you another waiter.” The woman smiled and said, “Oh, don’t worry about that. It was just a simple mistake, easily fixed.
There’s no need to refund (偿还数额)us anything. We can wait for the kitchen to make the right food.” She turned to the new starter, saying, “Everyone makes mistakes, especially on their first day.” Then she said to me, “We’d love for him to keep waiting for our table. He can use us as practice.”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。

In fact, I was a little hesitant. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Dear Luke,
I' m writing to share my idea for our performance at the International Cultural Festival themed "Bridging the World, Sharing the Future”.
How about a cross-cultural music duet We can combine traditional Chinese music with British folk songs, which perfectly fits the theme by showing cultural integration. It will also be engaging and highlight our respective cultural roots.
Shall we meet at the school music room this Friday afternoon to discuss details like song selection and arrangement Please let me know if the time works for you.
Looking forward to your reply!

In fact, I was a little hesitant. I worried that more mistakes would upset the kind couple and make the new boy even more discouraged. However, seeing the warm and encouraging smile on the woman’s face, I nodded reluctantly. The young waiter lifted his head slowly, eyes wet with gratitude. Taking a deep breath, he apologized sincerely to the couple again and carefully re-checked their order on the tablet. With the couple’s gentle guidance and patient encouragement, he calmed down little by little and finished serving their meal smoothly.
For a few days, the couple became regulars, always requesting the new starter to be their waiter. Every time they came, they would chat with him patiently and praise his progress sincerely. Gradually, the nervousness faded away from the young man. He grew more confident and skilled at taking orders and serving customers. This special experience not only helped him master work skills quickly but also taught him to face mistakes bravely. The warmth from strangers lit up his first working summer, reminding him that kindness could always give people the courage to move forward.
