阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Inspired by The Economist’s recent alternative summer reading list for CEOs, the 10Eighty, a leading HR consultancy firm, offers the following suggestions for summer reading.
The Undercover Economist
A favourite of the 10Eighty team is Tim Harford’s The Undercover Economist — if you’ve ever wondered why the gap between the rich and the poor is so great, then this book is for you. Relatable and engaging, Harford highlights the relevance of economics to everyday life, from buying a coffee to sitting in a traffic jam. He exposes how coffee shops, supermarkets and airlines convince us to part with our money, shedding light on how to apply economic principles to everyday life.
Slow Productivity
10Eighty’s researcher also recommends Slow Productivity by Cal Newport for the summer reading list. In the modern workplace workers feel pushed to the edge by continual meetings, overflowing inboxes, non-stop busywork, and office rules that laugh at autonomy and agency. Newport offers alternative strategies for knowledge workers to do the best work of their lives by taking a slower approach to work that matters.
Tom Sawyer
Few books are better at sparking eagerness to act than Mark Twain’s Tom Sawyer. Forced to paint a fence white rather than play with his friends, naughty Tom finds a way to make it seem so appealing that the local kids want to do it — and end up paying Tom for the privilege. Business-school professors call it “psychic rewards”.
What is your favorite from this summer reading list? Why not share your ideas with us below?
21. How does Tim Harford make economics accessible in The Undercover Economist?
A. By analyzing economic theories in depth.
B. By revealing how businesses fuel spending.
C. By explaining the cause of the wealth gap.
D. By connecting economic concepts to daily life.
22. What does Cal Newport suggest knowledge workers do?
A. Follow office rules strictly. B. Accelerate work pace.
C. Slow down to tackle key tasks. D. Schedule frequent meetings.
23. According to the passage, why is Tom Sawyer recommended for summer reading?
A. It stimulates motivation effectively. B. It describes the life of a clever boy.
C. It tells an exciting kids’ adventure tale. D. It shows how to deal with naughty kids.
B
It begins with a steady buzz, echoing through the towering forests of Alaska. It’s a signal, but not one to be alarmed by. It’s less “Duck and cover,” more “Come and get it!”
So you step outside your house, where there are few roads and fewer neighbors, and see it. A single-engine plane flies low, just a few dozen feet above the ground. The plane’s door whips open, and a black package is thrown out, plummeting (速降) to earth with a yellow tail hanging behind.
Congratulations, you’ve just been turkey bombed!
The “bomb” is a 15-pound frozen turkey stuffed into a trash bag, tied with yellow caution tape for easy visibility. Since 2021, Alaska native Esther Keim has been dropping them from the air to remote Alaskans who might otherwise be eating squirrel, moose or Spam for Thanksgiving dinner.
Thanksgiving falls at a tricky time of the year in this part of the country. It’s a time when rivers, which often serve as highways in Alaska’s remote areas, are too frozen for boats to travel but not frozen enough for cars. Their only option for reaching “civilization” is seven hours on a snowmobile. Or, if you’re a pilot like Keim, you can take to the air.
Keim began her turkey-bombing flights after visiting her family in Skwentna, an isolated village. A neighbor mentioned how a squirrel he hunted barely fed his family of four. This reminded Keim of her childhood, when a family friend would drop a turkey — and sometimes a box of candy inside the package just for her — from his plane to her family every year. “I am gonna drop turkeys to remote Alaskans without road access,” says Keim. “It wouldn’t be a big deal, but it’d bring me a lot of joy to bless other people like we were blessed.”
Now Keim is working to turn this personal effort into a non- profit called the Alaska Turkey Drop Project. The project has received enough donations from some individuals and local businesses, with others donating their time and goods. Every year, that noisy plane soaring through Alaska’s sky brings not just turkeys, but a heartwarming reminder of connection in the wilderness.
24. What can be learned about the “bomb”?
A. It’s a dangerous explosive. B. It’s sent to Alaskans for Christmas.
C. It’s a frozen turkey with yellow tape. D. It’s dropped from a high- flying plane.
25. Why is Thanksgiving a challenging time in remote Alaska?
A. Pilots avoid snowy flights. B. Snowmobiles are only for short trips.
C. All roads are blocked by snow. D. Half- frozen rivers are unfit for boats or cars.
26. What inspired Keim to start the “bombing” flights?
A. A demand for her nonprofit project. B. A suggestion from her family.
C. Neighbor’s hardship and childhood favor. D. Hunting squirrels with neighbors.
27. Which of the following best describes Keim?
A. Caring and inquiring. B. Sympathetic and innovative.
C. Decisive and tolerant. D. Adventurous and ambitious.
C
Near the Dominican Republic’s coast, tiny lab-grown “coral babies” are attached to spider-like metal structures in underwater nurseries. This is the assisted coral fertilization program led by local marine protection group Fundemar, offering a glimmer of hope for the world’s declining coral reefs.
The technology is critically important amid severe reef degradation. Seventy percent of the Dominican Republic’s coral reefs now have less than 5% coral cover. Climate change not only kills corals directly through warming oceans but also significantly reduces the natural reproduction chances of surviving individuals. “What was once normal in coral reefs is no longer possible for many species,” noted Andreina Valdez, a biologist at Fundemar.
Assisted fertilization fills this gap by artificially facilitating gamete fusion (配子融合). The implementation follows a precise process. Each year, a few days after the full moon at dusk, corals release millions of eggs and sperm. Fundemar’s team collects these gametes, performs artificial fertilization in the lab, and nurtures the larvae (幼体) until they are robust enough for transplantation to reefs. Though only 1% of the 2. 5 million embryos cultivated annually survive in the wild, this rate still outperforms natural reproduction on degraded reefs.
It holds distinct advantages over the non-sexual reproduction used in the past. Non-sexual reproduction involves transplanting fragments of healthy corals, which is faster but produces genetically identical clones vulnerable to mass disease outbreaks. In contrast, assisted sexual reproduction creates genetically diverse individuals, significantly lowering the risk of widespread die-offs. Originating in Australia, the technology has now expanded across the Caribbean, with projects in Mexico, Curaçao, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Jamaica.
However, a fundamental challenge remains: climate change. UNESCO data shows oceans are warming twice as fast as 20 years ago, increasing coral bleaching risks. Expert Mark Eakin stated, “You can’t conserve something if you don’t have it. So these programs are helping to expand the population that’s out there.” Yet he urgently warns, “Without tackling the 800-pound gorilla of climate change, much restoration work could be wiped out.” But, for Fundemar, current efforts matter, “We are investing immense effort to protect what we love, and we trust many around the world are doing the same.”
28. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To explain the reason of coral decline. B. To advocate for coral protection.
C. To present a coral conservation project. D. To highlight coral’s economic value.
29. What does the underlined phrase “this gap” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The challenge of climate change. B. The lack of funding for marine research.
C. The absence of underwater nurseries. D. The failure of natural coral reproduction.
30. What is the primary advantage of assisted fertilization?
A. Faster growth. B. Wide-spread application.
C. Genetic diversity. D. Lower disease-resistance.
31. What is Mark Eakin’s attitude toward assisted fertilization?
A. Entirely supportive. B. Clearly indifferent.
C. Strongly opposed. D. Cautiously hopeful.
D
For decades, horror enthusiasts have been broadly perceived as cold, unfeeling individuals who get pleasure from witnessing suffering. Critics and even some academics have labeled them as adrenaline (肾上腺素) addicts lacking empathy, suggesting that their interest in films like Saw stems from psychological deficiency. However, recent research challenges these long-held assumptions, proposing a more detailed and complex understanding of why people are drawn to horror.
The claim that horror fans must lack empathy has been supported by some early studies. Yet, a closer examination reveals methodological flaws: mixing up the enjoyment of cruelty with a general interest in horror narratives. When such flawed studies are ruled out, the supposed link between low empathy and horror enjoyment disappears. And, recently, more reliable research confirms that horror fans show no less empathy or compassion than others; on some measures, they even score higher.
Another popular theory suggests that horror fans are simply chasing an adrenaline rush. While this may be true for some enthusiasts, newer studies unfold a more complex picture. Researchers have identified different types of fans: some are indeed “adrenaline junkies”, but others, termed “white knucklers”, use horror to confront and overcome personal fears. A third group, “dark copers”, finds an emotional release in fictional horror, using it to process real-life difficulties.
Beyond these motivations, a key personality trait driving horror fandom is “morbid curiosity”—a natural desire to learn about threatening or death-related subjects. This curiosity may be beneficial. Studies indicate that individuals with higher morbid curiosity are often better prepared for real-life crises and show greater resilience during stressful times. horror fans, it seems, may be practising emotional regulation when they play with their fears through scary entertainment.
The evidence paints a picture of horror fans being empathetic, curious and psychologically sophisticated. horror is a testament to human adaptability and our remarkable capacity to find meaning, connection and even growth in the face of our deepest fears. Recognising this not only helps us understand horror fans more accurately, but also illuminates something profound about human nature itself.
32. What does the underlined word “deficiency” mean in paragraph 1?
A. Weakness. B. Strength. C. Curiosity. D. Misunderstanding.
33. What led to the results of early studies?
A. The limited sample size of participants.
B. The confusion of vital key concepts.
C. The ignorance of horror-cruelty connections.
D. The adoption of outdated methodology.
34. What can we infer about people with higher morbid curiosity?
A. They may lack emotional regulation skills.
B. They may be more adaptable to challenges.
C. They may become more sensitive to adversity.
D. They may be more exposed to real-life crises.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Dismissing Myths: The Truth about horror Fans
B. horror Films: Impact on Audience Empathy
C. horror enthusiasts: Living Proof of Empathy Loss
D. Morbid Curiosity: The Ultimate Goal of horror

What Do Our Dreams Tell Us?
Dreams are an integral part of healthy sleep. The average person spends roughly two hours dreaming each night. Yet even with this significant time, the phenomenon remains mysterious.
What role do dreams play? Dream researcher Alan Siegel calls dreams an entrance to our inner selves — they help process emotions and tackle tough problems we struggle with while awake. Meanwhile, expert Robert Stickgold argues that dreams spring from memory. 36 It lets us absorb lessons, heal from hurt, and grow wiser through experience. Put simply, their research shows that dreams are the brain’s innate way to work through our inner struggles and make sense of our memories.
Certain dream themes feel universal across cultures. 37 Whether tumbling from a great height or tripping down stairs, these dreams often spark intense fear. A sense of helplessness lingers too. They tend to symbolize lost control or hidden insecurity. In contrast, flying dreams are deeply uplifting. Soaring through the air, weightless and free — it fills dreamers with joy. 38 Such dreams usually reflect a yearning for freedom or independence.
Dreaming of exams is another widespread experience. These dreams often come from anxiety — about being unprepared, rushed, or judged in real life. 39 Even negative pre-exam dreams can boost actual test performance. After all, the brain processes stress ahead of time. Similarly, dreams of getting lost are frequent. Wandering unfamiliar streets, missing a train, or struggling to find a destination — these reflect uncertainty and confusion. They often mirror life’s transition periods: career changes, relationship shifts, or personal growth. 40
Dreams are deeply personal. You’re the best interpreter of your own dreams. Paying attention to their themes and the feelings they stir can unlock profound insights. These insights help you better understand your inner world and build greater self-awareness.
A. Falling is one of the most common.
B. Interestingly, there exists a silver lining.
C. It also brings a strong sense of empowerment.
D. Such mental activities simply sort unconnected ideas.
E. Replaying past events, big and small, is nature’s clever design.
F. In these times, it’s normal to feel adrift or unsure of our next steps.
G. Transition periods usually disappear when confusion fades in dreams.

Every dream lost in the dark longs for a ray of light — and for Lily, that light came from a stranger.
Months earlier, Lily stared at her glowing laptop, 41 deeply. Her novel centered on Kate had remained 42 at 10,000 words for a month; not a single new word came to her. In a moment of overwhelming 43 , she closed the laptop sharply. She murmured, “I’m fooling myself. I’ll never be a 44 .”

His words stirred something deep within her. That night, she wrote 52 , weaving threads of her own life into Kate’s journey. Six weeks later, she completed the first 53 . With Patrick’s encouragement, she perfected the manuscript, found a literary agent, and had the book 54 . On its title page, she wrote, “For dreamers in the dark — and the ones who brought them 55 .”

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。
I frowned at myself in the dressing-room mirror. I was wearing white tights, a white leotard (紧身连衣裤) , and a white cap that hid most of my hair. I was one of 10 snowflakes in my dance school’s Winter Wonderland show.
“Grandma, I really don’t feel like being in the show,” I said. Grandma Lani looked at me gently, “Why, mo’opuna?” Mo’opuna means “grandchild” in Hawaiian. Grandma Lani has always lived in Hawaii. “You love to dance.” I used to love to dance. Then Ms. Tuttle gave the part of the Snow Queen to Christine Abrams. Christine got to wear a blue leotard and a feathery skirt that drifted out like a cloud every time she twirled. And she got to do a dance once all by herself. The snowflakes just had to run and spin to look like a snowstorm. I sighed. “I don’t like our dance. And no one would notice if I weren’t there. There are so many of us,” “I would notice,” she reassured me softly.
As Christine walked toward us, Grandma paused and smiled at her. “What a beautiful costume!” Christine glided away, her skirt waving behind her. I hung my head. Grandma took my hand, “What’s bothering my Avery?” “And you won’t be able to tell me apart from the other snowflakes,” I whispered.
Grandma was about to speak. Then something outside the window caught her eye. She grabbed my hand and my coat and pulled me out of the dressing room and through the doors to the outside. It was snowing. Grandma held her breath and I suddenly thought of something, “Grandma, have you ever seen snow before?” “No, mo’opuna. In Hawaii, it snows only on the very tops of mountains.”
I had seen snow lots of times, but now I tried to see it differently, as if it was new. I saw snowflakes twisting through the air in different directions, sparkling and shining at us. So many snowflakes came together to create something magical. “Aloha,” Grandma whispered to the sky. Aloha can mean many things, including “love”, “ hello”, and “good-bye”. “I don’t know when I’ll see something like that again,” “I do,” I said.

Say No to Playing Balls in Teaching Buildings
Good morning, everyone! Recently, I have noticed an uncivilized phenomenon that some classmates are playing balls casually in our teaching buildings.
During breaks, they often chase and kick balls in narrow corridors, with balls often bumping into doors, windows or even someone nearby. Such behavior is both disruptive and potentially dangerous. It not only makes the corridors messy but also poses safety risks and may lead to damage to school facilities.
Playing balls is fun, but we should choose the playground instead. I appeal to everyone to stop playing balls in our teaching buildings. It’s our shared responsibility to respect others and care for our campus. Together, let’s keep our teaching buildings safe and orderly.
Thank you!

Back in the dressing room, I knew something within me had quietly changed. The frustration about being a nameless snowflake faded, replaced by a heartfelt desire to let Grandma feel the magic of snow through my dance. Backstage, I adjusted my white cap and straightened my leotard, no longer envying Christine’s blue costume. When the music started, I joined the other snowflakes. I didn’t just perform — I poured my heart into every spin and step, imagining each movement as a tiny snowflake dancing for Grandma. For the first time, I felt proud to be part of the group.
As the curtain fell I heard Grandma’s applause rising above the rest. I darted off the stage, white tights swishing, and crashed into her arms. She held me tight, eyes glistening with joy. “You did it, mo’opuna. You made the snow come alive.” Just then, Christine wandered over with a genuine smile, saying our snowflake dance was the most magical part of the show. I didn’t care if Grandma could tell me apart from others; what I did care about was that I’d shared the snow’s magic with her, I squeezed her hand tightly and whispered “Aloha” softly, knowing this tiny “snowflake” had become a precious gift for both of us.
