111．We like to believe that before we make a decision，most of the time，we take time to consider all the facts carefully.However，experts believe that only 5% of our decisions are based on a rational thought process.So，what influences our decision- making process？
We often leave decision-making to our instincts".Scientists have found out that if we had the choice，we like to avoid pain rather than get somethjye.aig.In fact，we're twice as happy when we try to avoid a bad situation than when we experience a good one.This is why when companies send ads，they use phrases like "How to avoid ..."，"Don't miss out!"，etc.
There are also physical reasons that affect our decision- making.Psychologist John Bargh carried on an experiment where people were asked what they thought of a fictional person，while holding a cold or a hot cup of coffee.Those holding the hot cup believed the person to be warmer and more sociable than those holding the cold cup.So，when temperatures rise，the more likely we are to believe in strangers.
Stress is another thing which affects our decisions.Different situations are more or less stressful for different people.Researchers have found，though，that women are more conservative about decisions when stressed，while men are to make riskier choices.
It may come as a surprise but every day from the minute we get up，we have to make countless decisions，like what to wear，what coffee to have and so on.Each choice makes our brain a little bit more tired，and this affects our decision- making.That's why important people，like presidents wearing the same three suits all the time，want to limit the small choices and spend more brain power on the bigger ones.
（1）Which of the following shows the structure of the passage？
A.
B.
C.
D.
（2）What is the main idea of the last paragraph？
A．Every day we have to make lots of big decisions.
B．People sometimes judge a person by what he wears.
C．What people wear influences their decision making.
D．Making fewer decisions helps to save brain power.
（3）What can we learn from the passage？
A．We make most of the decisions after our careful thinking.
B．People are likely to be happier to avoid something bad.
C．As the temperature is low，we are likely to believe others.
D．People usually have risky decisions under heavy pressure.
（4）The purpose of the passage is to.
A．tell us what influences decision making
B．a(chǎn)dvise people to make rational decisions
C．warn people not to make risky decisions
D．show disadvantages of rational decisions發(fā)布：2025/1/5 10:0:6組卷：11引用：2難度：0.2112．There was once a man who built his own house.From top to bottom，he designed and built every inch of his home.It took him over a year，but in the end，he had a beautiful house of his own.No other house in his neighborhood looked like it so that many of his neighbors admired it.
But as time went by，his house started to have some problems.One day，a neighbor said，"Friend，it looks like your front yard is a bit overgrown."
The man replied， "Yes，I know.But it's okay.I'll cut the grass tomorrow."
A few days later，a mailman came by with a letter for the man.The mailman said， "Friend，it looks like your windows are a bit dirty."
The man replied， "Yes，I know.But it's okay.I'll wash them tomorrow."
Weeks passed by.Finally，the man's brother came over to pay a visit.He took one look at his brother's house and couldn't believe what he saw.The yard was in a mess，the paint on the walls was falling down and the windows were covered with dirt.The house looked like it could fall apart at any second- all because the man didn't do anything until "tomorrow".
When we procrastinate"，"tomorrow" can turn into "next week"or even"next year".It's much better to just take care of things today than to wait until some imaginary "tomorrow" that might not actually come.
（1）Why did many neighbors admire the man's house？
A．Because he spent more than a year building his house.
B．Because his house looked uncommon in the neighborhood.

b.The man built his house on his own.
c.A mailman found the window was dirty.
d.The front yard was a bit overgrown.
A．d-b-c-a
B．b-c-a-d
C．b-c-d-a

B．Don't Be Afraid to Wait Till Tomorrow
C．Get Your Work Done on Time
D．Ask Others to Help You Do Things發(fā)布：2025/1/5 10:0:6組卷：2引用：1難度：0.7113．Dwayne sat staring at the peeling paint on the walls of the small，messy room he shared with his two younger brothers.Through the apartment walls he could hear the crying of the neighbor's newborn child competing with the music from the cars below.Dwayne sat and stared at the blank paper in front of him，considering how he would write a composition about his life.
Mama wouldn't be home for another half an hour，so Dwayne went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for his family.With Mama's low income，there wasn't much to choose from.
"I'm hungry，" said 8- year old Raymond. "What do you have cooking？"
Holding his brother around the waist，Dwayne replied， "I've got my famous bean and rice casserole.
Want to help？"
"I want to help，too!" cried Jesse.
Shortly after 7：00 p.m.，Mama got home.She saw her three sons laughing as they worked together setting the mismatched plates and forks.In the middle of the table she eyed an old baby food jar with a flowering weed that was pulled from the front yard.
"Mmm- mm!Is that your famous bean and rice casserole？" Mama asked. "Mama，you're home!" the two younger boys said as they raced to hug her.
After the dinner，Mama stood behind Dwayne as he sat at the kitchen table，adding the last sentence to his composition."Son，what are you writing？"
"Mama，it's my composition，" came his reply. "And what is that composition about？"
"It's about our life，" said Dwayne.
Dwayne's mother looked around at the house.She thought about all the things she wished she could provide for her family.
"Dwayne，I'm sorry you don't have a lot in your life，" his mama said.

Most people think that nature is good for our bodies and brains.However，humans are spending more time inside and less time outside.For example，the number of visitors to Canada s national parks is getting smaller every year.And in countries such as the USA，only 10% of teenagers spend time outside every day.Many doctors feel that this is a problem in the twenty-first century.
Therefore，some doctors are studying the connection between nature and health：one example is the work of Dr.Matilda in Sweden.The doctor gave people a math test.During the test，their heart rates（心率） were fast.After the test，one group of people sat in a 3 D- virtual-reality（虛擬現(xiàn)實） room for fifteen minutes with pictures and sounds of nature.Their heart rates were slower than people's in the other group.The virtual touch with nature helped them feel more relaxed.The natural world allows our brains to rest and slow down，and can leave us feeling happier and less stressed.Another example from Canada also shows nature is good for health.In Toronto，researchers studied 31，000 people living in the city.In general，they found that healthier people lived near parks.
Because of studies like these，some countries and cities want people to enjoy nature in their everyday life.In Dubai，people plan to build a new shopping mall with a large garden，so shoppers can relax outside with trees，plants and water.And South Korea has new forests near its cities and around 13 million people visit these forests every year.Getting close to nature has been thought to be necessary for brain development in children.In Switzerland， "forest schools" are popular.School children study their subjects in the forests and exercise a lot outside.So after building cities for so long，perhaps it's now time to start rebuilding nature.
In a word，nature holds a special kind of energy：it is clean，wild and spirit- renewing.jye.ai makes us grow stronger.

115．Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents.They don't act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV.In their opinion，"I love you" is too luxurious（奢侈的） for them to say.Sending flowers to each other on Valentine's Day is even more out of question.And my father has a bad temper.
One day，my mother was sewing a quilt.I silently sat down beside her and looked at her.
"Is there love between you and Dad？"1 asked her in a very low voice.
My mother stopped her work and raised her head with surprise in her eyes.She didn't answer immediately.
I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her.But at last I heard my mother say the following words.
"Lily，" she said， "look at this thread.Sometimes it appears，but most of it disappears in the quilt.The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable（耐用的）.If life is a quilt，then love should be a thread.It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime，but it's really there.Love is inside.
I listened carefully but I couldn't understand her until the next spring.At that time，my father suddenly got sick seriously.My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month.When they returned from the hospital，they both looked very pale.
After they were back，every day in the morning and dusk，my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road.My father had never been so gentle.It seemed that they were the most harmonious couple.The sun gently glistened（閃耀） through the leaves.All of these made up the most beautiful picture in the world.
The doctor had said my father would recover in two months.But after two months he still couldn't walk by himself.All of us were worried about him.
"Dad，how are you feeling now？" I asked him one day.
"Lily，don't worry about me，" he said gently. "To tell you the truth，I just like walking you're your mom." Reading his eyes，I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers，gifts and sweet kisses.But from this experience，I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life.Love is inside，making life strong and warm.
（1）Why does Lily sometimes doubt whether there is real love between her parents？
A．Because they are very busy earning money.
B．Because they often act in the romantic ways.
C．Because her father is easy to lose his temper to her mother.
D．Because her father often says "I love you" to her mother.
（2）Which of the following is similar to the underlined phrase "out of question" in Paragraph 1？
A．Possible.
B．Impossible.
C．Necessary.
D．Unnecessary.
（3）What made her father change so greatly？
A．The real love from her mother.
B．The thread of the quilt.
C．The beautiful scenery of the country road.
D．All the other members of the family.
（4）What's the main idea of the passage？
A．We should understand our parents however old they are.
B．Love is something we can't see and that makes life strong and warm.
C．We really need love because it makes our life meaningful.
D．Love is so important to everyone that we must love everyone.發(fā)布：2025/1/5 9:30:5組卷：0引用：1難度：0.7
116．You know the feeling- you have left your phone at home and feel anxious，as if you have lost you connection to the world. "Nomophobia" affects teenagers and adults alike.You can even do an online test to see if you have it.Last week，researchers from Hong Kong warned that nomophobia is infecting everyone.Their study found that people who use their phones to store，share and access personal memories suffer most.When users were asked to describe how they felt about their phones，words such as "hurt" （neck pain was often reported） and "alone" predicted higher levels of nomophobia.
"The findings of our study suggest that users regard smartphones as their extended selves and get attached to the devices，" said Dr.Kim Ki Joon.People experience feelings of anxiety and unpleasantness when separated from their phones.Meanwhile，an American study shows that smartphone separation can lead to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure.
So can being without your phone really give you separation anxiety？Professor Mark Griffiths，psychologist and director of the International Gaming Research Unit at Nottingham Trent University，says it is what is on the phone that matters- the social networking that creates Fomo（ fear of missing out）.
"We are talking about an internet-connected device that allows people to deal with lots of aspects of their lives，" says Griffiths. " You would have to surgically remove a phone from a teenager because their whole life is ingrained in this device."
Griffiths thinks attachment theory，where we develop emotional dependency on the phone because it holds details of our lives，is a small part of nomophobia.For "screenagers"，it is Fomo that creates the most separation anxiety.If they can't see what's happening on Snapchat or Instagram，they become panic-stricken about not knowing what's going on socially. "But they adapt very quickly if you take them on holiday and there's no Internet，" says Griffiths.
（1）Which of the following may Dr.Kim Ki Joon agree with？
A．We waste too much time on phones.
B．Phones have become part of some users.
C．Addiction to phones makes memories suffer.
D．Phones and blood pressure are closely linked.
（2）According to Griffiths，we get nomophobia because.
A．we are accustomed to having a phone on us
B．we need our phones to help us store information
C．we worry we may miss out what our friends are doing
D．we fear without phones we will run into a lot of trouble
（3）Which of the following phrase has the closest meaning to the underlined phrase "ingrained in" in Paragraph 4？
A．relied on
B．opposed to
C．a(chǎn)pproved of
D．determined by
（4）Where can you probably find the above passage？
A．In a research report.
B．In a fashion book.
C．In a science textbook.
D．In a popular science magazine.發(fā)布：2025/1/5 9:30:5組卷：6引用：1難度：0.5117．Ajarn Recruitment，a new and successful educational organization，mainly provides teaching jobs for people with teaching experience as well as exam preparation courses for teenagers and adults.

The special suit is able to translate music into some vibrating pulses.And the users can choose different levels.
Chase Burton，33，a deaf film-maker from Texas，US，has been testing out the suit for four years.He understands that a deaf person's experience with music is very different. "When I was a kid，I'd lie on the floor so I could feel the vibrations from my brother's music playing." Burton told CNN.Now when he wears the vibrating suit，he says the sound hits different parts of his body. "Maybe it will shake me strongly in my knees first.And then I'll start to feel the vibrations in my back.And then I'll feel some pulsations." Burton said.
The designers have been working on helping a large number of deaf people to have a chance of a musical experience.In 2016，some prototype" suits were tested at a Lady Gaga concert in the US.The suit was also tested at a different concert in Las Vegas in 2019. It was given to 150 audiences at the concert，where half the audience members were deaf and half could hear.At the same time，the company has been improving the technology and planned to put it into the market soon.And the final goal of the company is to make the technology available to all.
"We truly think that anything that has an audio element" can also have a vibrational experience associated with it as well，" the company s talent and business development director，Jordan Richardson told CNN.
（1）How does the vibrating suit help deaf people？
A．By improving their hearing.
B．By changing the loudness of sound.
C．By turning music into some vibrating pulses.
D．By sending music to their ears easily and quickly.
（2）What does the underlined word "It" in Paragraph 4 refer to？
A．The suit.
B．The music.
C．The concert.
D．The technology.
（3）Why does the writer mention Burton's experience？
A．Because he wants to introduce different ways people enjoy music.
B．Because he wants to tell how different it is for a deaf person to enjoy music.
C．Because he wants to show the sadness for not having the technology earlier.
D．Because he wants to call on designers to make better products for deaf people.
（4）What's the best title of this passage？
A．Listen to the "Suit"
B．Wear a Suitable Suit
C．Music Makes Life Colorful
D．The Development of Science發(fā)布：2025/1/5 9:30:5組卷：4引用：1難度：0.5119．Each of us has dreams and goals for our future.What makes us study and make progress each day is closely connected with our personal dream and goal.
But why do you have dreams and goals，you still end up with nothing？What separates successful people from the dreamers is their persistent（鍥而不舍的） action.When you learn your lessons at school，you must work hard and not give up.You will often find some of your lessons very hard.Try and keep trying，and you'll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with.If we have a hard lesson today，let us try our best to learn it well and then we shall be prepared for a harder one tomorrow.
This is the famous formula（公式） for success：
Dream＞ Believe＞ Achieve
Most people have what they want（Dream） and think they can realize their dreams（Believe）.And then they do nothing.They just imagine their dreams can come true.When they get tired and lose a lot，they say angrily how terrible their life is.
I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life，you have to add one thing to your success formulas：
Dream＞ Believe＞ Act＞ Achieve
For me，act is the most important thing for success，and that's to take persistent action（Act）.If you say "I can't do it" and give up，you can never do anything valuable.However， "I'll try" creates wonders.Let's remember that there will be obstacles in our life.We must face them bravely and solve them.Success is not something that falls from the sky.Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action.
Please remember：Action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality.
（1）What should you do when you find your lessons very hard？
A．Ask people for help.
B．Try and keep trying.
C．Get ready to create wonders.
D．Prepare for a harder one.
（2）The underlined word "obstacles" in paragraph 8 most probably means.
A．dangers
B．difficulties
C．imaginations
D．wonders
（3）Why does the writer use the formula "Dream＞ Believe＞ Act＞ Achieve"？
A．To support his idea.
B．To ask readers to explain it.
C．To show what his goals are.
D．To discuss the importance of dreams.
（4）What is the best title of this passage？
A．Doing something valuable
B．Studying hard and making progress
C．Realizing dreams with persistent action
D．Separating successful people from dreamers發(fā)布：2025/1/5 9:30:5組卷：5引用：1難度：0.2120．It was a beautiful morning with a soft wind blowing.Jina the giraffe was walking on the grass.A group of zebras ran（1）
