When the need fr infrmatin technlgy service arises, it can be a stressful mment—the user is lcked ut f their cmputer, r a prgram isn't wrking prperly. But if yu ask anyne in the MT departments f Chemistry and Physics, r the News Office—the Institute divisins that are frtunate enugh t have Greg Waltn as their IT service prvider, they'll acknwledge that nt nly is Waltn the best, but whatever the issue is, he will see it thrugh until all invlved are satisfied with the utcme. Waltn usually arrives n the scene with endless psitive energy that transfrms a technical annyance int an enjyable interactin, regardless f hw many ther TT fires he has already put ut that day.
The qualities that make him a star emplyee extend far beynd the campus. After spending his early years in fster care，Waltn lived with his great-grandmther, but mstly, he was left t supprt himself. While many children might, understandably, lie flat under such unsupervised circumstances, Waltn excelled academically and athletically at high schl. He became the first persn in his family t graduate frm high schl, and enrlled in cllege.
Waltn seized the chance t enrll in Year Up, a prgram aiming t clse the “pprtunity divide" by prviding yung adults with the skills, experience, and supprt that will empwer them t reach their ptential thrugh prfessinal careers and higher educatin. Waltn remains an active ambassadr fr the rganizatin.
In June f 2007,armed with shining recmmendatins，Waltn was hired as a temp(临时工) at MIT. He eventually wrked his way up t where he is tday—an invaluable asset (不可或缺的人) t three departments. “I d feel lucky t wrk at MIT," he says. "I've had the ability t tur the cuntry sharing my stry in hpes that sme peple may be inspired and emplyers may see yung adults with tugh backgrunds differently.”
In additin t Year Up, he is invlved with a number f rganizatins cmmitted t helping yung adults vercme their trubled pasts. This desire t have a psitive impact n peple's lives extends seamlessly int his wrk at MIT. "Giving back is very imprtant t me,” Waltn says. "S many peple have invested their time and energy int helping me, s I feel it wuld be an injustice nt t d s."
24. Staff members in MIT sing high praise fr Waltn mainly because
A. he enjys interacting with his clients

B. T pay back t sciety by helping yung adults.
C. T advise businesses t treat yung adults fairly.

Even peple wh tend t think cnventinally, such as accuntants, can be creative, a recent study suggests, if they can lk at emtinal situatins in a different light. In a set f experiments, researchers fund that cnventinal thinkers came up with mre creative ideas than peers after they practiced “emtinal reappraisal". This means viewing a situatin thrugh anther emtinal lens, such as trying t see an anger-inducing event as ne that is neutral r hpeful.
The study indicates that creativity is smething that can be trained. "Whenever we break away frm ur existing perspective and try t think abut smething that's different frm ur initial reactin, there's a creative element t it. If we can practice r train that flexible-thinking muscle, it may help us be mre creative ver time,” said lead authr Lily Zhu, an assistant prfessr at Washingtn State University.
Fr the study, Zhu and her clleagues cnducted tw similar experiments. In the first experiment with 335 peple recruited thrugh a crwdsurcing platfrm, the participants were first ranked n their penness levels and then shwn a film scene designed t elicit (引起) anger. While viewing, they were given different instructins: t suppress their emtins, t think abut smething else t distract themselves r t try emtinal reappraisal—lking at the scene thrugh anther lens. Sme were als given n instructin n hw t regulate their feelings.
After viewing the film, the participants were asked t cme up with an idea t use an empty space in their building. Thse ideas were then evaluated by a panel f experts wh did nt knw anything abut the participants. Ideas such as using the space fr “napping capsules" were cnsidered highly creative whereas ideas like pening a similar cafeteria as befre were cnsidered lw in creativity.
The next experiment had a different grup f 177 participants write abut an experience that made them angry. 'They were then tasked with either writing abut it again frm a different emtinal perspective r writing abut smething else as a distractin.
In bth experiments, cnventinal thinking participants wh tried emtinal reappraisal came up with mre creative ideas than ther cnventinal thinkers wh used suppressin, distractin r n emtinal regulatin strategy at all. Ntably, fr participants wh were cnsidered creative thinkers t begin with, emtinal reappraisal did nt seem t have much effect n their creativity.
As t the implicatins f the study, Zhu suggested that supervisrs in wrkplace shuld develp trainings t cultivate creative thinking skills in emplyees. Individuals can als practice emtinal reappraisal when cnfrnted with a crisis r challenge instead f suppressing negative emtins.
28. Which f the fllwing is mst prbably an example f emtinal reappraisal?
A. Cnsidering an ccurrence bjectively.
B. Taking ne's success as an pprtunity.
C. Distracting neself frm an annying event.
D. Regarding disappintment as a turning pint.
29. Frm the study, we knw that
A. creative thinkers' creativity was enhanced after practicing emtinal reappraisal
B. evaluating experts had adequate infrmatin abut the research subjects
C. the research findings culd be applied t the training f emplyees
D. the first experiment aimed t select the mst creative design
30. Which wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A. Change Feelings t Bst Creativity
B. Effective Strategies t Manage Emtins
C. Think Over t Explre Creative Ptential
D. A New Way t Remve Negative Emtins

As we enter a perid f prfund ecnmic uncertainty, presaged (预示) by recent high-prfile layffs and a culture f “quiet quitting" , thinking abut the future f wrk might well seem a daunting(令人生畏的) prspect.
Indeed, an ever-increasing digital skills gap threatens t stp businesses adpting the game-changing technlgies that will help t pwer grwth in the mnths and years ahead. Fr instance, with each exciting new technlgy cmes a grwing cncern abut whether we have a digitally savvy(精明的)wrkfrce ready t take advantage f it. After all, keeping the wrkfrce up t speed with the latest advances is a key element f the digital transfrmatin prcess, which will prve essential if we hpe t imprve business prductivity and efficiency alngside ur effrts t achieve sustained grwth.
Likewise, at the Wrld Ecnmic Frum's annual meeting in Davs, the cybersecurity skills gap was named as ne particular area f cncern. There's gd reasn fr this fcus: if businesses can't prtect themselves against external threats, they risk ging backwards. And that's befre they even start thinking abut achieving grwth. This is why we need t address the digital skills gap urgently.
Well, we shuld start by changing the narrative t help us recruit and retain frm a mre diverse pl f talent, giving businesses a far better chance f finding the up-t-date digital skills they need. And, when it cmes t engaging and empwering the current wrkfrce, learning and develpment pprtunities will be key, helping emplyees t imprve their skills fr the benefit f bth themselves and their emplyers.
T make this all happen, leaders and emplyers must demnstrate a cmmitment t teaching their wrkfrces digital skills by setting clear expectatins and prviding all the resurces required. One apprach, fr example, wuld be t fcus n the ptential in the existing talent pl by identifying thse already skilled in digital capabilities and supprting them t upskill their clleagues. Creating a culture f learning, with an emphasis n persnal grwth, can be an impressive mtivatr in the wrkplace.
Of curse, it's all well and gd saying that digital skills are vital, but a wrkfrce with purely hard skills will nt future-prf a business. There's a need fr sft skills that supprt the brader gal, s as nt t neglect the ther cmpetencies required in a digital transfrmatin: cmmunicatin, critical thinking, creative design skills，and leadership. T explit the technlgy t its full ptential, such qualities are equally imprtant.
Fundamentally, getting the interactin right between humans and technlgy will be paramunt if businesses are t succeed. As a result, human skills must nt be underestimated. Every business will need a range f peple with a variety f skills nt nly thse well-versed in math, engineering, and science, but als thse with creative minds and leadership qualities.
31. The writer's main cncern in the digital transfrmatin prcess is
A. the threats frm technlgy
B. the challenge f upskilling wrkfrces
C. the culture f quiet quitting
D. the shrtage f experienced wrkers
32. It can be learned frm Paragraph 4 and 5 that
A. replacing current wrkfrces with digital talents is the key
B. high requirements f recruitment ensure a sund wrkfrce
C. emplyers shuld develp a learning culture inside their wrkfrces
D. business leaders shuld fcus n the training f the existing talent pl
33. What des the underlined wrd “paramunt” in the last paragraph prbably mean?
A. Crucial.
B. Beneficial.
C. Challenging.
D. Inspiring.
34. What might be the purpse f the passage?
A. T advcate the necessity f imprving digital skills.
B. T warn humans f the ptential prblems with technlgy.
C. T stress the imprtance f cmbining hard skills with sft skills.
D. T draw peple's attentin t the ever-increasing digital skills gap.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Humans have lng tried t cnquer water. We've straightened nce-winding rivers fr shipping purpses. We've cnstructed levees(防洪堤) alng rivers and lakes t prtect peple frm flding. We've erected entire cities n drained and filled-in wetlands. We've built dams n rivers t stre water fr later use.
35______ But it's nt, argues envirnmental jurnalist Erica Gies, authr f Water Always Wins. Levees, which narrw channels causing water t flw higher and faster, nearly always break. Cities n frmer wetlands fld regularly—ften disastrusly. Dams starve dwnstream areas f sediment (沉积物) needed t prtect casts against rising seas. Straightened streams mve faster than winding nes, giving water less time t flw dwnward. And they wash away riverbed ecsystems.
In additin t laying ut this damage dne by suppsed water cntrl, Gies takes readers n a hpeful glbal tur f slutins t these prblems. Alng the way, she intrduces “water detectives"—scientists, engineers, urban planners, and many thers. 36______
These water detectives have fund ways t give the slippery substance the time and space it needs t flw slwly undergrund. Arund Seattle's Thrntn Creek, fr instance, reclaimed land nw allws fr regular flding, which has renewed riverbed habitat and created an urban asis. In Califrnia's Central Valley, scientists want t find ways t mve unplluted strm water int subsurface valleys that make ideal aquifers(含水层). 37______
While sme peple are explring new ways t manage water，thers are leaning n ancient knwledge. Researchers in Peru are nw studying ld-style methds f water strage，which dn't require dams, in hpes f ensuring a steady flw f water t Lima—Peru's ppulus capital that's peridically affected by water shrtage. 38______ “Decisin makers cme frm a culture f cncrete," Gies writes, "in which dams, pipes and desalinatin factries are standard.”
Understanding hw t wrk with, nt against, water will help humankind weather this age f drught and fld that's being wrsened by climate change. 39______ Instead, we must learn t live within ur water means because water will undubtedly win.
A. Cntrlling water, Gies cnvincingly argues, is a false belief.
B. Instead f trying t cntrl water, they ask: What des water want?
C. It seems that water is cperative and willing t flw where we direct it.
D. These ld-style underwater cncrete techniques pave the way fr the cnstructin f dams.
E. T further understand the whle ecsystem, they believe effective water cntrl requires effrt.
F. The study may help cnvince thse wh favr cncrete-centric slutins t try smething new.
G. Feeding grundwater supplies will in turn sustain rivers frm belw, which helps t maintain water levels and ecsystems.

第一节(共4小题;第40、41小题各2分，第42小题3分，第43小题5分，共12分)
阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
They say t find ut what yu really want, g back t when yu were a child.
When I was a kid, I really wanted t be a painter, but I was never great at it. I was discuraged, because in art classes my paintings were never the mst beautiful. In the third grade, we were given a prject t create a prtrait. I used the skills and tips we were all taught in class. After we were dne, we presented ur prtraits. We std in frnt f the class and explained ur technique. I remember lking at ther prtraits thinking, "We were given the same skills, why d theirs lk s prfessinal and mine lks s amateur?”
But I still really enjyed painting because it's a frgiving art. If I dn't like what I've put n paper, 1can paint ver it. I can mix clrs and make new nes. Als, I can release sme creative juices, use what has inspired me and allw that t pur ut f me in a way I may nt have imagined.
But because I have always wanted t paint beautiful pictures, I just decided t change what beauty lked like. I changed what beauty meant t me.
Thrughut schl, they taught us abut Picass, van Ggh and da Vinci, and I never saw myself r my art in their wrks. These artists were always painting whatever was in frnt f them and arund them. But that's nt what I saw arund me.
Then I learned abut Basquiat, wh inspired me t paint abstract pictures. I paint when I'm mved, and I am ften mved by what 's natural: emtins, nature, and ther frms f art. I am als very mved by pain. When there is pain in the wrld r in my heart, it can be unbearable. I had a cnversatin with an activist in St. Luis named Spk, and I explained t her this feeling and she tld me," Pain is energy. Yu have t learn hw t channel that energy int smething prductive.” S smetimes I channel that pain int art, int a painting.
Even if the picture desn't turn ut aesthetically (美学地) pleasing by sciety's standards, it's still beautiful that I was able t create smething. My paintings may nt be a Basquiat, but they're mine, s I lve them anyway.
40. What did the authr find after the prtrait presentatin?
41. What factrs mtivated the authr t keep his passin fr arts?
42. Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.
The authr has always wanted t paint beautiful pictures, s he tried t meet sciety's standards.
43. Besides painting, what ther art frm wuld yu use t express beauty? And explain why. (In abut 40 wrds)
