A study done by University of Michigan researchers found that shopping to relieve stress was up to 40 times more effective at giving people a sense of control and that shoppers were three times less sad compared to those who only browsed for items without buying.
More than half of the 1,000 consumers surveyed said they had impulsively (冲动地) shopped to deal with feelings of stress, anxiety or depression. Twenty-three percent of respondents said they had maxed out a credit card to relieve stress.
In terms of age, 68 percent of Millennials (千禧一代) said they would go shopping when having stress, compared to 53 percent of Gen Xers, who were born between 1965 and 1976, and only 26 percent of baby boomers born after World War Ⅱ.
In regards to genders, 48 percent of men and 31 percent of women purchased alcohol impulsively when stressed. Eighty-two percent of women spent on clothing compared to 52 percent of men. 42 percent of women also preferred to buy jewellery, compared to 22 percent for men, with men spending more for electronics 44 percent versus 30 percent for women.
In fact, shopping to reduce stress can actully help you live a healthier life by making sure that your blood pressure is lowered. The survey found that 82 percent had only positive feelings about their purchases and that the positive mood boost was long-lasting. Shopping to relieve stress is also called retail therapy as a form of regulating stress. However, the side effect of it can start out as a relatively harmless mood booster but could possibly grow into a compulsion (冲动) that causes financial collapse and conflict, thereby adding a significant amount of stress to a person’s life.

A newly developed disposable paper battery promises to make a big impact on single-use electronics. The battery that has been demonstrated by researchers is biodegradable (可生物降解的), made from sustainable materials, and cheap to put together. What’s more, it can be produced in a variety of shapes and sizes as needed.
To give an idea of the power, a two-cell battery was enough to power an LCD alarm clock. While it won’t be charging up your computer anytime soon, there’s lots of potential for low-powered sensors. “We present a printed paper battery developed to power single-use disposable electronics and to reduce their environmental impact to the lowest level,” write the researchers in their published paper.
The battery is based on a metal-air electrochemical cell. Made from sodium chloride salt-diffused (氯化钠盐扩散的) paper, it can measure as little as one square centimeter, and is based on printed inks. All that’s needed, then, is a small amount of water, as little as two drops. This dissolves the salts within the paper, and then activates the battery as they travel. The battery starts producing power around 20 seconds after water is added, according to the experiments carried out by the team.
Although the performance decreases over time as the paper dries out, it can be topped up to some extent with more water. The researchers say they want to improve the efficiency of the battery in the future, and get it working for longer.
“With a rising awareness of the e-waste problem and the emergence of single-use electronics for applications, there is a growing need for low environmental impact batteries,” write the researchers.
5．Which of the following statement about the paper battery is true?
A．It is made from single-use materials. B．It is costly to put together.
C．It can be produced in diverse shapes. D．It can be used to charge up your computer.
6．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A．How the paper battery works. B．What the paper battery consists of.
C．Why the paper battery is popular. D．Where the paper battery can be applied.
7．What does the underlined phrase “topped up” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Declined B．Maintained C．Increased D．Changed
8．What is the researchers’ attitude towards the future of the paper battery?
A．Indifferent B．Pessimistic C．Cautious D．Promising

Housemates make posters to lighten the mood amid the challenges of the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak. Posters featuring a character that resembles the Disney robot Baymax have been making rounds on the internet and drawing praise from netizens for lightening the mood amid the epidemic.
Made by Chen Mengying, 32, and her American housemate Stacey Klinge, 33, the posters also feature humorous phrases related to lockdown life. The duo (搭档), who live in Tianyuan housing community, say they came up with the poster after realizing how tense the mood in their community had become as it faced lockdown challenges. According to Chen and Klinge, their community, which has been under closed-loop (闭环) management since April 1, has had problems getting access to daily essentials, and this sparked several disagreements between residents and the management. Eager to help lighten the mood, the two sought to spread some cheer using their artistic skills.
Klinge says she was initially confused with her housemate’s suggestion to create a character based on dabai, a Chinese reference to pandemic workers in white protective suits. Chen says she was thinking about Baymax from the animated film Big Hero 6. Seeing how Baymax and the workers both play the role of protectors in their respective worlds, the two decided to use the character for their posters. Their posters, which contain multilingual updates about the latest pandemic measures and announcements for residents, have helped people develop a sense of optimism.
The posters have also drawn the attention of several local media outlets, which have interviewed the two. “I was seriously considering a return to the United States. But I’ve changed my mind after my fantastic experience in the community,” says Klinge. Besides creating the posters, Chen and Klinge have also been volunteering in the community since April 16 and they always focus on positive things at this difficult time.
12．What is their purpose of making the posters?
A．To address daily problems. B．To enrich their lockdown life.
C．To cheer people up during the pandemic. D．To update the latest pandemic measures.
13．Why did they choose Baymax to represent the pandemic workers in the posters?
A．Because they both are in white protective suits.
B．Because they both are popular in different cultures.
C．Because they both draw praise from netizens.
D．Because they both are considered heroes in saving human lives.
14．Which of the following can best describe Chen and Klinge?
A．Capable and generous. B．Caring and creative. C．Ambitious and considerate. D．Selfless and courageous.
15．What can be the best title for the passage?
A．Design a Sense of Cheer B．Create a New Lifestyle
C．Look on the Bright Side D．Face the Lockdown Challenges

We constantly hear people say procrastination (拖延) is the thief of time — actually deadlines are. New research from the University of Otago may help uncover the puzzling link between the two.
Professor Stephen Knowles tested the effect of deadline length on task completion for their research. Participants were invited to complete an online survey concerning a charity donation. They were given either one week, one month, or no deadline to respond. Professor Knowles says although the topic of the survey was about charity, the results are true of any situation where someone asks another person for help
The study found responses to the survey were lowest for the one-month deadline and highest when no deadline was specified. No deadline and the one-week deadline led to many early responses, while a long deadline appeared to give people permission to procrastinate, and then forget. Professor Knowles wasn’t surprised to find that specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline. However, he did find it interesting that they received the most responses when no deadline was specified.
“We interpret this as evidence that specifying a longer deadline, as opposed to a short deadline or no deadline at all, removes the urgency to act,” he says. “People therefore put off undertaking the task, and since they are inattentive or forget, postponing it results in lower response rates.”
He says of the research that it is possible that not specifying a deadline might still have led participants to assume that there is an unspoken deadline. Professor Knowles hopes his research can help reduce the amount of procrastinating people do. “Many people procrastinate. They have the best intentions of helping someone out, but just do not get around to doing it.”
16．Why did Professor Knowles conduct the research?
A．To prove the link between procrastination and charity.
B．To reveal the role a deadline plays in procrastination.
C．To attract public attention to the effects of procrastination.
D．To demonstrate the effect of procrastination on task completion.
17．Which situation is least likely to lead to procrastination?
A．A crowd-funding appeal with no deadline. B．A one-month application for assistance.
C．A one-week post-disease donation. D．A charity donation on a given date.
18．Why do people procrastinate according to paragraph 4?
A．They oppose the deadline. B．They are unwilling to act.
C．They lack a sense of urgency. D．They are too busy to remember.
19．Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．Deadline—a Result of Procrastination
B．Deadline—the Key to Reducing Procrastination
C．Procrastination—an Urgent Problem to Solve
D．Procrastination—the Thief of Time

In an effort to control the nation’s growing problem with food wastage, South Korea has started a unique initiative — “Pay as You Trash”. Residents are required to separate their food waste from the rest of their rubbish and throw it separately in a centralized dustbin. And in order to access the bin, they actually need to pay by the kilo!
As of now, South Korea has three methods in place to charge citizens for the food thrown away. One is through an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) card — when users tap this card over a specially designed food waste bin, the cap will open. This waste is automatically weighed and recorded in the user’s account. The user needs to settle this bill on a monthly basis. The second billing method is through pre-paid garbage bags. These specially designed bags are priced based on volume. For instance, in Seoul, a 10-liter garbage bag costs around $1. There’s also a bar code management system in place, in which citizens throw food waste directly into compost bins and pay for it by purchasing bar code stickers attached to the bin.
Nearly every residential complex in the nation is equipped with one of these three payment systems. Even before the pay-by-weight system was introduced, South Koreans were still being charged for food waste—the cost was simply divided equally among the residents of each apartment block. The new system is not only fair, but is also designed to make consumers really feel the pinch of unreasonable waste. The more food they throw out, the more they end up paying.
Citizens like Seoul housewife Ms. Kwan are now adopting innovative methods to avoid food waste. She makes sure to remove all the liquid out of leftover food before throwing it away. While preparing vegetables, she tries to make use of as much as the eatable parts as possible to minimize waste.
23．What is the centralized dustbin designed to do?
A．Keep food rubbish. B．Break down food rubbish.
C．Process household rubbish. D．Classify household rubbish.
24．What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the three payment methods?
A．Their development procedure. B．Their construction cost.
C．Their innovative appearance. D．Their operating principle.
25．How were the citizens charged before the new system was put forward?
A．They paid a fixed fee. B．They shared the cost equally.
C．They paid by weight. D．They enjoyed free access.
26．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase “feel the pinch” Paragraph 3?
A．Predict the prospect. B．Analyse the component.
C．Suffer the consequences. D．Propose the solution.

Every April, I find myself troubled by the same concern—that spring might not occur this year. The landscape looks dull, with hills, sky and forest appearing gray. On May 3, I awoke to a green so amazing as to be almost electric, as if spring were simply a matter of pressing a switch. Hills, sky and forest revealed their purples, blues and green.
Then there was the old apple tree. It sits on an undeveloped lot in my neighborhood. It belongs to no one and therefore to everyone. The tree’s dark branches stretch out in unpruned (未经修剪的) abandon.
Until last year, I thought I was the only one aware of this tree. And then one day, in a bit of spring madness, I set out to prune (修剪) a few disorderly branches. No sooner had I arrived under the tree than neighbors opened their windows and stepped onto their porches (门廊). These were people I barely knew, but it was as if I had come uninvited into their personal gardens. My mobile-home neighbor was the first to speak. “You’re not going to cut it down, are you?” she asked anxiously.
Soon, half the neighborhood joined me under the apple tree. It struck me that I had lived there for five years and only now was learning these people’s names, what they did for a living and how they passed the winter. It was as if the old apple tree was gathering us under its branches for the purpose of both acquaintanceship and shared wonder.
Just the other day, I saw one neighbor at the local store. He remarked how this recent winter had been especially long and complained of not having seen or spoken at length to anyone in our neighborhood. And then, he looked at me and said, “We need to prune that apple tree again.”
27．How did the author feel about the sudden change of the view?
A．Frightened. B．Depressed. C．Surprised. D．Annoyed.
28．Why did the neighbors open their windows and step out?
A．They intended to greet the author.
B．They felt astonished to notice a stranger.
C．They meant to protect their personal gardens.
D．They wondered what might happen to the tree.
29．What can be inferred about the apple tree in the neighborhood’?
A．It served as a bond. B．It was left unattended.
C．It stayed in a poor condition. D．It proved to be unappealing.
30．What did the neighbor value most according to the last paragraph?
A．The arrival of spring. B．The neighborhood gathering.
C．The pruning of the apple tree. D．Entertainment in the long winter.

An artificial intelligence can decode (解码) words and sentences from brain activity with surprising—though still limited—accuracy. Using only a few seconds of brain activity data, the AI guesses what a person has heard. It lists the correct answer in its top 10 possibilities up to 73 percent of the time, researchers found in a study.
Developed at the parent company of Facebook, Meta, the AI could eventually be used to help thousands of people around the world unable to communicate through speech, typing or gestures, researchers report August 25 at arXiv.org.
Most existing technologies to help such patients communicate require risky brain surgeries to implant electrodes. This new approach “could provide a practical path to help patients without the use of invasive methods,” says neuroscientist Jean-Rémi King, a Meta AI researcher in Paris.
King and his colleagues trained a computational tool to detect words and sentences on 56,000 hours of speech recordings from 53 languages. The tool, also known as a language model, learned how to recognize specific features of language. With the help of a computational method, the team tried to decode what participants had heard using just three seconds of brain activity data from each person. The team instructed the AI to match the speech sounds from the story recordings to patterns of brain activity that the AI computed as corresponding to what people were hearing. It then made predictions about what the person might have been hearing during that short time, given more than 1,000 possibilities. The correct answer was in the AI’s top 10 guesses up to 73 percent of the time, the researchers found.
The new study is “decoding of speech perception, not production,” King notes. Though speech production is the ultimate goal, for now, “we’re quite a long way away.”
31．What is the main idea of paragraph 1?
A．The principle of human brain activity.
B．The limitation of human brain activity.
C．The definition of the artificial intelligence.
D．The new function of the artificial intelligence.
32．Whom might the AI be beneficial to?
A．People unable to hear. B．People who can’t move around.
C．People who are unconscious. D．People unable to communicate normally.
33．What is the purpose of paragraph 4?
A．To analyze the features of the study. B．To state the significance of the study.
C．To introduce the process of the study. D．To present the achievement of the study.
34．What can we infer about the AI from the passage?
A．It performs well in the speech production.
B．Its accuracy is far from the researchs’ satisfaction.
C．It will help patients avoid dangerous brain surgeries.
D．Its language learning ability is beyond expectation.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们拖延与设定截止日期的时间长短有关。
16．推理判断题。根据第二段“Professor Stephen Knowles tested the effect of deadline length on task completion for their research. (Stephen Knowles教授在他们的研究中测试了截止日期长度对任务完成的影响)”可推知，Stephen Knowles教授做这项研究是为了研究设定截止日期对拖延这一行为的影响。故选B。
17．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Professor Knowles wasn’t surprised to find that specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline. However, he did find it interesting that they received the most responses when no deadline was specified.(Knowles教授毫不惊讶地发现，与更长的期限相比，指定更短的期限会增加收到回复的机会。然而，他发现有趣的是，在没有规定最后期限的情况下，他们收到的回复最多)”并结合选项推知，“没有最后期限的众筹呼吁”最不可能导致拖延。故选A。
18．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“We interpret this as evidence that specifying a longer deadline, as opposed to a short deadline or no deadline at all, removes the urgency to act (我们将此解释为，设定一个更长的截止日期，而不是一个短的截止日期或根本没有截止日期，会消除采取行动的紧迫性)”可知，人们在拥有很长的截止日期时会拖延，主要原因是过长的截止日期会导致人们缺乏紧迫感。故选C。
19．主旨大意题。通读全文，再根据第一段“They say procrastination is the thief of time — actually deadlines are. (人们说拖延是时间的小偷——实际上截止日期才是罪魁祸首)”以及第三段“specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。为了控制韩国日益严重的食物浪费问题，韩国推出了一项独特的举措——“为垃圾买单”。居民们被要求将食物垃圾与其他垃圾分开，分别扔进一个集中的垃圾箱。为了进入垃圾桶，他们实际上需要按公斤付钱！
23．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Residents are required to separate their food waste from the rest of their rubbish and throw it separately in a centralized dustbin.(居民们被要求将食物垃圾与其他垃圾分开，分别扔进一个集中的垃圾箱)”可知，集中垃圾箱的设计目的是保存食品垃圾。故选A。
24．主旨大意题。根据第二段“As of now, South Korea has three methods in place to charge citizens for the food thrown away. One is through an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) card — when users tap this card over a specially designed food waste bin, the cap will open. This waste is automatically weighed and recorded in the user’s account. The user needs to settle this bill on a monthly basis. The second billing method is through pre-paid garbage bags. These specially designed bags are priced based on volume. For instance, in Seoul, a 10-liter garbage bag costs around $1. There’s also a bar code management system in place, in which citizens throw food waste directly into compost bins and pay for it by purchasing bar code stickers attached to the bin.(到目前为止，韩国有三种方法向市民收取丢弃食物的费用。一种是通过RFID（无线射频识别）卡——当用户在一个特别设计的食物垃圾桶上轻按这张卡时，盖子就会打开。这些废物会自动称重并记录在用户的帐户中。用户需要按月结算这笔账单。第二种计费方式是通过预付费垃圾袋。这些特别设计的袋子根据体积定价。例如，在首尔，一个10升的垃圾袋的价格约为1美元。还有一个条形码管理系统，市民直接将食物垃圾扔进堆肥箱，并通过购买贴在垃圾桶上的条形码贴纸来支付费用)”可知，关于这三种支付方式，第二段主要告诉我们其操作原理。故选D。
25．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Even before the pay-by-weight system was introduced, South Koreans were still being charged for food waste—the cost was simply divided equally among the residents of each apartment block.(甚至在实行按重量计费制度之前，韩国人仍在为食物浪费收费——费用只是在每个公寓的居民中平均分配)”可知，在新制度提出之前，市民平均分担费用。故选B。
26．词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“The new system is not only fair, but is also designed to make consumers really(新系统不仅是公平的，而且是设计来真正使消费者……)”以及后文“The more food they throw out, the more they end up paying.(他们扔掉的食物越多，最终支付的费用就越多)”可知，新制度不仅公平，而且旨在让消费者真正承担不合理浪费的后果。因为他们扔掉的食物越多，最终支付的费用就越多。故画线词意思是“承担后果”。故选C。

(我刚到树下，邻居们就打开窗户，走出门廊。这些人我几乎不认识，但就好像我不请自来地进入了他们的私人花园。我的活动房屋邻居是第一个开口的。“你不会把它砍倒吧?”她焦急地问。)”可知，邻居们打开窗户并走出来，是因为他们想知道这棵树会发生什么事。故选D。
29．推理判断题。根据第四段“It was as if the old apple tree was gathering us under its branches for the purpose of both acquaintanceship and shared wonder. (就好像那棵老苹果树把我们聚集在它的树枝下，目的是为了认识我们，分享我们的惊奇。)”可推断，那棵苹果树成为邻居们之间是一种纽带。故选A。

31．主旨大意题。根据第一段“An artificial intelligence can decode (解码) words and sentences from brain activity with surprising—though still limited—accuracy. Using only a few seconds of brain activity data, the AI guesses what a person has heard. It lists the correct answer in its top 10 possibilities up to 73 percent of the time, researchers found in a study.(人工智能可以从大脑活动中解码单词和句子，其准确性令人惊讶（尽管仍然有限）。只需要几秒钟的大脑活动数据，人工智能就能猜出一个人听到了什么。研究人员在一项研究中发现，正确答案出现在前10种可能性中的概率高达73% 。)”可知，第一段主要介绍了人工智能可以从大脑活动中解码单词和句子，这是人工智能的一项新功能，故选D。
