David Gill might be the richest man in Sebastpl, Califrnia. The semi-retired health care administratr is banking the mst valuable currency in the wrld：Time. Gill currently has 480 hurs in his savings accunt at the lcal time bank.
In brief, a time bank des with time what ther banks d with mney: It stres and trades it. "Time banking means that fr every hur yu give t yur cmmunity, yu receive an hur credit," explains Krista Wyatt, executive directr f the nnprfit TimeBanks.
In Sebastpl, 250 residents have time bank accunts where they save and withdraw hurs as needed. Fr instance, Gill, wh is als the main lcal time bank crdinatr, likes t ffer his expertise with cmputer prgramming, editing and financial planning. In return, he asks fr help when he needs a ride t the airprt r smene t transprt heavy furniture. The time banks are building scial capital（资金）. "I've made wnderful friends I wuldn't have met therwise and we nw invite each ther t ur garden parties," says Gill. "It's abut making cmmunity and being a part f the cmmunity. Yu can't put a price n that stuff."
Sme cities lk t time banks as a mdel t supprt an aging ppulatin. In St. Gallen, Switzerland, nly members ver the age f 50 may jin the lcal time bank Stiftung Zeitvrsrge. While Sebastpl's time bank is mre geared tward practical services t fill a gap ther cmmunity services dn't address, members in St. Gallen regularly help senirs run errands, shp fr grceries, take them t the dctr r simply keep them cmpany. "Even if nly five peple were enabled t enter care hmes a year later," the fundatin's executive directr Jurg Weibel recently tld the German magazine Der Spiegel, "the investment wuld have already recvered itself." "The reality is that grwn-up kids live in ther areas," Weibel said. "Als, many senirs are cnsciusly lking fr a new purpse."
24. Why des the authr mentin David Gill in paragraph 1?
A. T annunce the news. B. T intrduce the tpic.
C. T shw his richness. D. T present his new jb.
25. Which f the fllwing can receive credits in a time bank?

We grw up with a mixed message: making mistakes is a necessary learning tl, but we shuld avid them. And that's a real shame. Because when we tell kids that learning is all abut the results, we teach them that mistakes are smething t be feared and avided. We stifle（压制）their interest in experimenting because experimenting means yu're ging t make a mess and fail. And that's t big a risk.
Here's a fascinating experiment that shws hw children absrb what we say abut effrt vs. results. One f prfessr Carl Dweck's experiments asked 400 5th graders in New Yrk City schls t take an easy shrt test, n which almst all perfrmed well. Half the children were praised fr "being really smart". The ther half were cmplimented fr "having wrked really hard". Then the students were asked t take a secnd test and given the ptin f either chsing ne that was pretty simple and that they wuld d well n, r ne that was mre challenging, but n which they might make mistakes. Of thse students praised fr effrt, 90 percent chse the harder test. Of thse praised fr being smart, the majrity chse the easy test. Prfessr Dweck tld me: "One thing I've learned is that kids are exquisitely（敏锐地）familiar t the real message, and the real message is ‘Be smart’. It's nt ‘We lve it when yu struggle r when yu learn and make mistakes.’"
One way we can fix this is by understanding the cncepts f "fixed mindsets" and "grwth mindsets". Thse with fixed mindsets believe either we're gd at smething—whether it's math r music r baseball—r we're nt. When we have this fixed mindset, mistakes serve n purpse but t highlight failure. Thse with grwth mindsets are much mre likely t be able t accept mistakes because they knw that they're part f learning. And it's been shwn that when students are taught abut grwth mindsets, their mtivatin t learn imprves.
28. Why d children ften avid experimenting?
A. They cnsider the prcess time-cnsuming.
B. They prefer easy tasks ver challenging nes.
C. They are nt interested in hands-n activities.
D. They are afraid f making mistakes and failing.
29. What lessn can we learn frm prfessr Carl Dweck's experiment?
A. Praise prmtes children's self-cnfidence.
B. Keep children away frm struggle and mistakes.
C. Praise children fr their devtin instead f their talent.
D. Parents shuld give their children timely encuragement.
30. Where is the text mst prbably taken frm?
A. A guidebk t parenting.
B. A reprt n the art f praise.
C. An intrductin t a psychlgy bk.
D. A review f mdern teaching.
31. What is the best title fr the passage?
A. Is Making Mistakes a Challenging Prcess?
B. Is Making Mistakes a Bad Thing Amng Kids?
C. Shuld Kids Be Praised fr Effrts r Results?
D. Shuld Kids Have Fixed Mindsets r Grwth Mindsets?

Samarkand in Uzbekistan hsted an imprtant intergvernmental cnference n hw t stp the slw spread f degraded（退化）land. Between 2015 and 2019, the wrld lst at least 100 millin hectares f healthy and prductive land a year, accrding t an analysis fr the United Natins Cnventin t Cmbat Desertificatin（UNCCD）. Human activities—including destrying frests and agricultural practices—and climate change are amng the main causes.
115 cuntries reprted ahead f the meeting n three measures fr restring degraded land and sil: prtecting the area used fr agriculture r cvered by frests r wetlands; increasing the ability f land t supprt and sustain life, retaining abve-and belw-grund stcks f carbn. Reaching the target f "land degradatin neutrality（土地退化中性）" by 2030 means reversing a negative trend: the glbal share f land that is degraded increased frm 14.7% in 2015 t 18. 9% in 2019.
Yet there are sme imprtant signs f hpe amid a mstly bleak prspect. The analysis enables cuntries t understand land degradatin at a mre granular（细致的）level than befre. And the UNCCD's science teams helped t train researchers in sme f the mst-affected cuntries, s that lcal scientists and plicymakers culd d the wrk themselves. And sme cuntries are mving in the right directin. In Ecuadr, fr example, the area f land classed as degraded went frm 21.9% t 12.8% between 2015 and 2019.
Land degradatin is nt a pririty n the wrld's envirnmental agenda. Althugh the UNCCD has the same status as the UN cnventins n climate change and bidiversity, unlike them it des nt have an autnmus bdy that prvides independent scientific advice. Restratin prjects als receive much less internatinal funding.
This funding gap illustrates just hw little pririty is given t restring land and preventing further cuntries are prviding data. These natins, especially high-incme cuntries, shuld start reprting degradatin. Yet the latest analysis shws what can be dne even with limited resurces. But nt all their plans and actins, t raise the prfile f land degradatin.
32. Which f the measures is mentined befre the cnference?
A. Develping mre frests r wetlands.
B. Increasing industrial prductivity.
C. Making peple supprt their life.
D. Keeping the stcks f carbn.
33. What des the underlined wrd "bleak" mean in paragraph 3?
A. Dark. B. Interesting. C. Wnderful. D. Reasnable.
34. What des paragraph 4 mainly talk abut?
A. The land degradatin is serius nwadays.
B. Land degradatin isn't sufficiently priritized.
C. The bidiversity deserves mre attentin.
D. Mre funds are btained fr the restratin prject.
35. What can rich cuntries d abut the land degradatin?
A. Prvide funding t supprt relevant prjects.
B. Help ther cuntries t cllect and analyze data.
C. Start reprting their wn schedules and actins.
D. Stp land degradatin in their cuntries cmpletely.

Self-Lve: a Fundatin fr All Healthy Relatinships
Why is self-lve cnsidered a transfrmative pwer in building healthy relatinships? We are all engulfed（吞没）with the thught f having fulfilling relatinships. One's that will bring sme meaning t ur lives and make us happy. We are s verwhelmed with finding true happiness that we ften frget that true happiness lies within us. We have heard in cuntless pep talks that self-lve is the fundatin f a happy life. 36 ?
We have been taught t be selfless frm the start f time. The minute we start thinking abut urselves, everyne arund us makes it their persnal missin t remind us f hw selfish we are being. 37 . Self-lve is nt selfish. It nly helps us better understand which sacrifices are wrth making!
38 . The strnger yur rts are, the mre difficult it will be fr winds t knck dwn the branches. Befre explring this ntin, it is very imprtant t understand what self-lve truly means. With such a thin line between being ruthless and self-lving, it is t easy t stumble（绊倒）n the darker side.
At the very f self-lve lies the care and value ne has fr neself. Self-lve, in its essence, is t truly accept wh yu are and what yur wrth is. It is the art f building a cmpassinate relatinship with yur wn sul. 39 . We are als taught t lk after each ther. But has anyne f us ever asked urselves wh we shuld be caring fr the mst in the wrld? Our parents? Family Friends? Relatins? I will tell yu a simple answer: Ourselves!
The expectatin f waiting fr smene else t care fr yu is impssible. 40 . Lk after yur relatins but d nt frget t lk after yurself. Yu can nly give smething that yu have in abundance.
A. Why d we still nt lve urselves
B. What shuld we d t lve urselves
C. Only yu can care fr yurself the mst
D. We are taught t care fr everyne arund us
E. Self-lve is the rt f all yur healthy relatinships
F. But there is nthing wrng with putting yurself first
G. Yu knw what yu're willing t accept in a relatinship

A
本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了西雅图四个令人惊叹的艺术展览或表演。
21. A 细节理解题。文章第一部分第一句可知 Misture Festival 会有现场音乐表演。故选A。
22. C 细节理解题。文章第二部分和第三部分的第一句都提到这两个演出都是持续一个小时。故选C。
23. D 细节理解题。文章最后一部分倒数第二句提到艺术节还将展出罗得岛州纽波特当代芭蕾舞团和奥林匹亚芭蕾舞剧院的新作品。故选D。
B
本文是一篇新闻报道。文章围绕David Gill与时间银行之间的故事展开。人们将为他人服务的时长储蓄在“时间银行”内，当自己需要帮助时，再从“银行”提取相应的时长以获取他人的服务。
24. B 推理判断题。根据后文可知，本文介绍了时间银行的概念、运作方式等以及一些城市将时间银行视为支持老龄化人口的模式的探索。因此可知本文开头提到David Gill是为了引出时间银行这个话题。故选项B正确。
25. C 推理判断题。文章第二段中Krista Wyatt提到：时间储蓄意味着你每为社区贡献一个小时，你就会得到一个小时的积分。并以David Gill为例，说明用自己的专业能力去为社区服务，就可以在时间银行获取一定的积分。故选项C正确。
26. A 推理判断题。根据第一段可知，David Gill在为社区服务的活动中非常活跃，目前在时间银行拥有480小时的“存款”，再根据第三段的内容可推知，David Gill对时间银行的态度是肯定的。故选项A正确。
27. B 推理判断题。根据第四段可知，只有50岁以上的会员才能加入当地的Stiftung Zeitvrsrge，A项错误；根据第四段可知，即使一年后只有5个人得以入住养老院，投资也能收回成本，但这并不意味着投资时间银行可以赚大钱，因此C项错误；该段讲到的现实情况是，成年孩子住在其他地区，此外，许多老年人都在有意识地寻找新的人生目标，这并不意味着这里的老人不愿意和孩子生活在一起，因此D项错误；根据本段可知，St. Gallen的会员经常帮助老年人跑腿、购买杂货、带他们去看医生，或者只是陪伴他们。故选项B正确。
C
本文是一篇议论文。我们总教导孩子们应避免犯错，作者认为这种观念是错误的，因为这会抑制他们对尝试新事物的兴趣。作者建议我们应该理解“固定思维模式”和“成长型思维模式”的概念，以帮助孩子们更好地接受错误并从中学习，并且提升他们的学习动力。
28. D 细节理解题。根据第一段第三、四句内容可知，人们教导孩子们，犯错会让人感觉到害怕和恐惧，要学会去规避错误。人们扼杀了孩子们对尝试的兴趣，因为在人们眼里尝试意味着可能会把事情搞得一团糟，然后失败。在人们的“教导”下，孩子们变得畏惧失败。故选D。
29. C 推理判断题。根据第二段试验结果可知，在那些被表扬努力的学生中，90%的人选择了更难的测试；而在那些被称赞聪明的学生中，大多数人选择了简单的测试。孩子们关注的焦点在“聪明”二字，而非努力学习和犯错。因此，人们在表扬孩子时，应多肯定他们的付出和不畏惧失败的精神。故选C。
30. A 推理判断题。本文主要讨论了孩子们在成长过程中面临的一个矛盾信息：犯错是学习的必要工具，但我们总教导孩子们应避免犯错。作者认为教导孩子们避免犯错这种观念是错误的，因为这会抑制他们对尝试新事物的兴趣。作者引用了Carl Dweck教授的实验来说明孩子们对努力和结果的关注程度不同：那些被称赞为努力学习的孩子更倾向于选择更具挑战性的测试，而那些被称赞为聪明的孩子则更倾向于选择简单的测试。作者建议我们应该理解“固定思维模式”和“成长型思维模式”的概念，以帮助孩子们更好地接受错误并从中学习。当孩子们了解成长型思维模式时，他们的学习动力会得到提高。因此本文最有可能选自一本与教育孩子相关的书籍。故选A。
31. B 标题归纳题。根据全文内容可知，文章主要论述了犯错并不是一件坏事，我们应该告诉孩子不要害怕犯错，并从错误中学习。故选B项。
D
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了土地退化问题的严峻形势，以及各国和国际组织为扭转这一趋势所做的努力。
32. D 细节理解题。根据第二段"115 cuntries reprted ahead f the meeting…retaining abve-and belw-grund stcks f carbn"可知答案选D。
33. A 词义猜测题。文章第一段提到了土地退化的严重性，此段后面提到了各级机构和组织对此采取的一些积极措施，特别是第二段段末提到土地退化的数据。因此可推知画线词所在句的意思是：然而，在前景黯淡的情况下，仍有一些充满希望的迹象。故选A。
34. B 段落大意题。通过第四段的介绍可知，土地退化不是世界环境议程上的优先事项，它没有提供建议的自主机构，得到的资金也比同等级的其他公约少，因此推出本段意在介绍土地退化没有得到充分的重视，这与B选项相符合。故选B。
35. C 细节理解题。根据文章第五段第四句可知，高收入国家应该开始报告他们的计划和行动，这与C选项相符合。故选C。
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了自爱的重要性。
36. A 上文提到我们在无数次鼓舞人心的演讲中听到，自爱是幸福生活的基础。下文提到因为我们从一开始就被教导要无私并解释了我们无法自爱的原因。故 A 项“为什么我们仍然不会爱自己呢”承上启下，符合语境。故选A。
37. F 上文提到“当我们开始考虑自己的那一刻，我们周围的每个人都会提醒我们自己有多自私”，下文提到“爱自己并不是自私的行为”。故可推知F项符合语境。故选F。
38. E 下文提到树根越强壮，风就越难刮倒树枝。E项“自爱是你所有健康关系的根”引出下文，符合语境。故选E。
39. D下文提到我们也被教导要互相照顾。但是，我们中有人问过自己，世界上我们最应该关心谁吗？我们的父母？家人朋友？亲属？答案很简单：我们自己！D项“我们被教导要关心身边的每一个人”引出下文，符合语境。故选D。
40. C 上文提及期待别人来照顾你是不可能的。C项“只有你才是最能照顾好你自己的人”承接上文，符合语境。故选 C。
本文是一篇记叙文。作者搬到瑞士巴塞尔附近的一幢公寓后，偶遇了伯恩山犬。文章讲的是作者与狗的相遇，从陌生到后面熟悉成为“好友”的一段经历。
41. C 考查动词辨析。根据"an elderly wman n her daily walk behind my hme"可推断出，伯恩山犬陪伴一位老妇人。故选C。
42. B 考查名词辨析。根据空前的“the same”和空后的“encunters”可推知，作者也喜欢每天走那条相同的步道，所以作者和伯恩山犬常常能碰上。故选B。

48. C 考查副词辨析。由上文"little f which I understd"和下文“just smile and pass"可知，作者起初并不能完全听懂。故选C。
49. C考查名词辨析。根据"a sharp warning bark”可知，作者与Etti和伯恩山犬相遇时，它总是会谨慎地盯着作者，并发出尖锐的吠叫声。故选C。
50. D 考查动词短语辨析。根据文意“这种情况一周又一周地持续”可知，此处表示时光流逝。故选D。
51. D 考查动词辨析。根据下文"a deeply rlled ‘R’ and lng ‘O’”可知，此处表示的是"发音”。故选D。
52. A 考查形容词辨析。由上文"turned int”可知，狗的叫声变了，变成几乎友好的汪汪声。故选A。
53. B 考查动词短语辨析。由"a pleasant wrd r tw"和"several sentences"可知，作者和老妇人Etti的对话变长了。故选B。
