A year ag, my wife and I sld ne f ur cars and replaced it with an e-bike. I knew that passenger vehicles are respnsible fr much f ur greenhuse-gas emissins. I als knew that electric cars were an imperfect fix. Thugh they’re respnsible fr less carbn pllutin than gas cars, their supply chain is carbn intensive. But an e-bike’s cmparatively tiny battery means less electricity, fewer emissins and fewer resurces. E-bikes are clearly better fr the planet than cars f any kind.
But I als viewed getting rid f my car as a sacrifice. I live in Clrad; e-biking wuld mean freezing in winter and sweating in summer. It was the right thing t d, I thught, but it was nt ging t be fun.
I was very wrng. The first thing I nticed was the savings. Between car payments, insurance, maintenance (保养), and gas, a car-centered lifestyle is expensive. I predict that we’ll save abut $50,000 ver the next five years by selling ur car.
The actual experience f riding t wrk each day ver the past year has been equally surprising. In winter, I wear glves, warm scks, a thick cap, and a ski jacket when I ride, and I am almst never t cld. In summer, I didn’t break a sweat. I just used the thrttle (油门), sat back, and enjyed my ride.
I arrived t wrk a little mre lighthearted fr having spent the mrning in fresh air rather than traffic. I jumped n my bike after a stressful day at wrk and rde hme dwn a street edged with changing fall leaves. I felt mre cnnected t the physical envirnment arund me than I had when I’d traveled the same rute surrunded by metal and glass.

C. He wanted t d smething gd fr envirnment.

25. What did the authr think he wuld sacrifice fr the e-biking?
A. The traffic safety. B. The traffic cmfrt.
C. The traffic ecnmy. D. The traffic cnvenience.
26. What is the authr’s feeling abut having ridden an e-bike fr a year?
A. Tlerant. B. Unexpected. C. Cnservative. D. Cmprmising.

Last Saturday, when my grandfather gt frustrated at the name f the singer f a sng, I grabbed my smartphne and fund it in secnds. This astnished my grandfather, wh didn’t understand hw I’d checked the infrmatin s quickly. I laughed and explained, but afterwards, it made me think abut hw much I depend n technlgy.
When I reflected n its impact n my educatin, I saw that technlgy has been significant in many ways. Returning t the stry f my grandfather, he had asked me mre abut hw I used it and abut university life. He said he thught we had an easy life cmpared t previus generatins. I culd see his pint.
Nt nly are we lucky enugh t have the same educatinal benefits as thse f previus generatins, but we have s many mre. We still have walk-in libraries; hwever, the nly ptin fr studying used t be sitting in these libraries with as many bks frm yur reading list as yu culd find, yet nw a single search nline can immediately prvide access t a huge range f resurces. Interactin between students and university staff is anther area that has changed cnsiderably. We can have face-t-face time with ur tutrs, and als cmmunicate using ur electrnic devices. The mst ppular means is via scial media, and it has becme unacceptable fr messages t be unanswered fr any length f time. While this puts an extra stress n the university’s academic supprt team, we students are greatly benefited.
When we cmpare the student life f the past and the present, it is tempting t fcus n the bvius differences in technlgy. In fact, students are ding what they’ve always dne: embracing the resurces available and adapting them t wrk mre efficiently and t live mre enjyably. The pace f change in technlgy cntinuusly gathers speed, s we have t value each innvatin as it happens.
28. Why des the authr mentin the stry f his grandfather?
A. T share an interesting experience.
B.T prvide an example fr his pinin.
C. T draw readers’ attentin t the tpic.
D. T aruse readers’ cncern abut a prblem.
29. What is the grandfather’s attitude twards the rle f technlgy?
A. Favurable.B. Tlerant.C. Dubtful.D. Unclear.
30. What is a new challenge technlgy brings t the academic supprt team?
A. Using varius electrnic devices.
B. Scheduling nline cmmunicatin.
C. Prviding mre flexible reading lists.
D. Respnding t all inquiries frm students.
31. What can be cncluded frm the last paragraph?
A. Students shuld value the time and enjy their life.
B. We shuld take technlgical differences seriusly.
C. Students shuld make full use f technlgy.
D. We shuld resist the temptatin f up-cming innvatin.

“When we watch TV shws r ftball games, we’re watching that infrmatin evlve ver time, uncertain abut hw it’s all ging t end,” said Abby Hsiung, Ph.D., a pstdctral researcher at the Duke Institute fr Brain Sciences.” I wndered if higher curisity wuld push peple t seek, r t avid, getting an immediate ‘spiler (剧透)’.”
Hsiung drew inspiratin frm shrt cking vides that are ppular n Instagram and TikTk, “These vides manage t develp a descriptin and cliffhanger, s that yu’re interested and curius abut hw fd materials will all cme tgether.” S Hsiung made a series f 30-secnd cartn line-drawing vides that, like the cking vides, eventually ended up as smething highly recgnizable, like a dg.
Mre than 2,000 adults frm acrss the U.S. then watched 25 f these shrt line-drawing vides nline. Participants in Hsiung’s study were asked alng the way hw curius they were, hw they felt, and t guess what the drawing wuld becme. Viewers als had a “spiler” buttn t skip ahead t see the final drawing. Hsiung and her team were surprised t find that when peple were curius, they avided hitting the “spiler” buttn and kept watching the drawings unfld. It was when peple were less curius that they tended t pt fr an instant answer. Curisity didn’t just mtivate getting answers, but increased the value f the jurney itself.
The study als fund that curisity increased at different stages f watching these vides. Higher curisity during mments where it seemed like the drawing culd tun int anything and als when participants were starting t really hme in n a single answer. Curisity als inspired peple’s feeling f jy, explaining why peple kept watching the line-drawing vide even when they culd just hit a buttn t get the answer right away. This helps explain why peple ften avid spilers. Knwing the end f a new TV series, fr example, can remve the enjyment f watching the plt develp.
Researchers suggest that inspiring curisity might als help raise mtivatin in the classrm t ptentially imprve learning. Increasing curisity can imprve memry by readying the brain fr new infrmatin and strengthen persistence thrughut a learning jurney, which is ften needed fr deep understanding.
32. What is the purpse f Hsiung’s study?
A. T find the relatin between curisity and answer.
B. T find better ways t get infrmatin in TV shws.
C. T find the effects cking vides have n audience.
D. T make a series f 30-secnd line-drawing vides.
33. What des the underlined wrd “cliffhanger” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Creatin. B. Uncertainty. C. Imaginatin. D. Appreciatin.
34. What can we learn frm the text?
A. Viewers wuld hit the “spiler” buttn when they were curius.
B. Curisity did nthing but drive viewers t find ut answers.
C. As the drawing was taking shape, peple gradually lst interest.
D. Peple refused t knw answers in advance t enjy the prcess.
35. Hw is curisity beneficial t learning?
A. It can shrten learning time. B. It reduces learning difficulty.
C. It is gd fr deep learning. D. It changes learning appraches.

We had mved t a new twn fr my husband’s wrk. After living here fr just a cuple f weeks, I was mre than ready t pick up my luggage and mve back hme. I was lnely fr a friend. My by Samuel was lnely. My husband, Lnny, adapted just fine, but he was ccupied with wrk mst f the time.
I missed ur ld neighbrhd. It had been like a clsely knitted cmmunity where neighbrs chatted ver fences. Newcmers were welcmed with chclate brwnies (巧克力蛋糕) and carrt bread. It had been easy t find friends there.
Our new cmmunity was different. It seemed that family rts grew deep. Deep as the Mississippi River that flwed past this tiny river twn. Breaking in was tugh.
“I’m s alne here,” I said t Lnny ne evening. Lnny is a gd listener, and a prblem slver. “What have yu dne t meet peple?” he asked. “I g t the park every day. I even drpped by a bk saln (读书沙龙) at the library the ther day and came acrss a nice lady with a by.”
“Sunds nt bad,” he said. “Did yu talk t her?” The answer was n. It wasn’t that peple here were unkind. I just didn’t feel like initiating cnversatins, and I preferred minding my wn business in a new envirnment.
A few mre mnths passed and winter settled in. It was harder than ever t meet peple. I began t feel bitter. I was tired f trying t fit in a place where we didn’t belng.
Lnny nticed my lw spirits. “Amy, yu lk unapprachable, with yur arms crssed and everything,” he whispered in my ear ne afternn. He and I were sitting in the yard. Samuel, ur five-year-ld was playing baseball next t us.
“It desn’t matter. I’m nt ging t have friends here.” Just then Samuel lked up. He must’ve heard ur whispers. “Mm’s right, Dad. We’ll never ever have friends here. And we just want t g back t ur ld hme.” I sat there and lked at my tiny inncent sn. His wrds mirrred my attitude. And I didn’t like the disturbing reflectin.

评分标准：
第一段应写“我”如何调整“我”对“新社区”的态度，可以侧重写“我”付诸了哪些努力和行动，与故事材料中所呈现的“我”之前排斥新环境的态度与表现形成反差，以期对儿子Samuel树立积极的榜样。第一段结尾可以写Samuel对新社区的态度发生了积极的改变。
第二段应写“我”与在图书馆读书沙龙活动中再次偶遇的女士进行积极的社交尝试，建立发展出新的友谊，从而逐渐积极融入新社区，获得归属感。故事结尾方向可以是体现积极适应新环境的正面人生态度。Gd evening, dear friends!_________________________________________________

Last Saturday, when my grandfather gt frustrated at the name f the singer f a sng, I grabbed my smartphne and fund it in secnds. This astnished my grandfather, wh didn’t understand hw I’d checked the infrmatin s quickly. I laughed and explained, but afterwards, it made me think abut hw much I depend n technlgy.
When I reflected n its impact n my educatin, I saw that technlgy has been significant in many ways. Returning t the stry f my grandfather, he had asked me mre abut hw I used it and abut university life. He said he thught we had an easy life cmpared t previus generatins. I culd see his pint.
Nt nly are we lucky enugh t have the same educatinal benefits as thse f previus generatins, but we have s many mre. We still have walk-in libraries; hwever, the nly ptin fr studying used t be sitting in these libraries with as many bks frm yur reading list as yu culd find, yet nw a single search nline can immediately prvide access t a huge range f resurces. Interactin between students and university staff is anther area that has changed cnsiderably. We can have face-t-face time with ur tutrs, and als cmmunicate using ur electrnic devices. The mst ppular means is via scial media, and it has becme unacceptable fr messages t be unanswered fr any length f time. While this puts an extra stress n the university’s academic supprt team, we students are greatly benefited.
When we cmpare the student life f the past and the present, it is tempting t fcus n the bvius differences in technlgy. In fact, students are ding what they’ve always dne: embracing the resurces available and adapting them t wrk mre efficiently and t live mre enjyably. The pace f change in technlgy cntinuusly gathers speed, s we have t value each innvatin as it happens.
28. Why des the authr mentin the stry f his grandfather?
A. T share an interesting experience.
B.T prvide an example fr his pinin.
C. T draw readers’ attentin t the tpic.
D. T aruse readers’ cncern abut a prblem.
29. What is the grandfather’s attitude twards the rle f technlgy?
A. Favurable.B. Tlerant.C. Dubtful.D. Unclear.
30. What is a new challenge technlgy brings t the academic supprt team?
A. Using varius electrnic devices.
B. Scheduling nline cmmunicatin.
C. Prviding mre flexible reading lists.
D. Respnding t all inquiries frm students.
31. What can be cncluded frm the last paragraph?
A. Students shuld value the time and enjy their life.
B. We shuld take technlgical differences seriusly.
C. Students shuld make full use f technlgy.
D. We shuld resist the temptatin f up-cming innvatin.

“When we watch TV shws r ftball games, we’re watching that infrmatin evlve ver time, uncertain abut hw it’s all ging t end,” said Abby Hsiung, Ph.D., a pstdctral researcher at the Duke Institute fr Brain Sciences.” I wndered if higher curisity wuld push peple t seek, r t avid, getting an immediate ‘spiler (剧透)’.”
Hsiung drew inspiratin frm shrt cking vides that are ppular n Instagram and TikTk, “These vides manage t develp a descriptin and cliffhanger, s that yu’re interested and curius abut hw fd materials will all cme tgether.” S Hsiung made a series f 30-secnd cartn line-drawing vides that, like the cking vides, eventually ended up as smething highly recgnizable, like a dg.
Mre than 2,000 adults frm acrss the U.S. then watched 25 f these shrt line-drawing vides nline. Participants in Hsiung’s study were asked alng the way hw curius they were, hw they felt, and t guess what the drawing wuld becme. Viewers als had a “spiler” buttn t skip ahead t see the final drawing. Hsiung and her team were surprised t find that when peple were curius, they avided hitting the “spiler” buttn and kept watching the drawings unfld. It was when peple were less curius that they tended t pt fr an instant answer. Curisity didn’t just mtivate getting answers, but increased the value f the jurney itself.
The study als fund that curisity increased at different stages f watching these vides. Higher curisity during mments where it seemed like the drawing culd tun int anything and als when participants were starting t really hme in n a single answer. Curisity als inspired peple’s feeling f jy, explaining why peple kept watching the line-drawing vide even when they culd just hit a buttn t get the answer right away. This helps explain why peple ften avid spilers. Knwing the end f a new TV series, fr example, can remve the enjyment f watching the plt develp.
Researchers suggest that inspiring curisity might als help raise mtivatin in the classrm t ptentially imprve learning. Increasing curisity can imprve memry by readying the brain fr new infrmatin and strengthen persistence thrughut a learning jurney, which is ften needed fr deep understanding.
32. What is the purpse f Hsiung’s study?
A. T find the relatin between curisity and answer.
B. T find better ways t get infrmatin in TV shws.
C. T find the effects cking vides have n audience.
D. T make a series f 30-secnd line-drawing vides.
33. What des the underlined wrd “cliffhanger” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Creatin. B. Uncertainty. C. Imaginatin. D. Appreciatin.
34. What can we learn frm the text?
A. Viewers wuld hit the “spiler” buttn when they were curius.
B. Curisity did nthing but drive viewers t find ut answers.
C. As the drawing was taking shape, peple gradually lst interest.
D. Peple refused t knw answers in advance t enjy the prcess.
35. Hw is curisity beneficial t learning?
A. It can shrten learning time. B. It reduces learning difficulty.
C. It is gd fr deep learning. D. It changes learning appraches.

We had mved t a new twn fr my husband’s wrk. After living here fr just a cuple f weeks, I was mre than ready t pick up my luggage and mve back hme. I was lnely fr a friend. My by Samuel was lnely. My husband, Lnny, adapted just fine, but he was ccupied with wrk mst f the time.
I missed ur ld neighbrhd. It had been like a clsely knitted cmmunity where neighbrs chatted ver fences. Newcmers were welcmed with chclate brwnies (巧克力蛋糕) and carrt bread. It had been easy t find friends there.
Our new cmmunity was different. It seemed that family rts grew deep. Deep as the Mississippi River that flwed past this tiny river twn. Breaking in was tugh.
“I’m s alne here,” I said t Lnny ne evening. Lnny is a gd listener, and a prblem slver. “What have yu dne t meet peple?” he asked. “I g t the park every day. I even drpped by a bk saln (读书沙龙) at the library the ther day and came acrss a nice lady with a by.”
“Sunds nt bad,” he said. “Did yu talk t her?” The answer was n. It wasn’t that peple here were unkind. I just didn’t feel like initiating cnversatins, and I preferred minding my wn business in a new envirnment.
A few mre mnths passed and winter settled in. It was harder than ever t meet peple. I began t feel bitter. I was tired f trying t fit in a place where we didn’t belng.
Lnny nticed my lw spirits. “Amy, yu lk unapprachable, with yur arms crssed and everything,” he whispered in my ear ne afternn. He and I were sitting in the yard. Samuel, ur five-year-ld was playing baseball next t us.
“It desn’t matter. I’m nt ging t have friends here.” Just then Samuel lked up. He must’ve heard ur whispers. “Mm’s right, Dad. We’ll never ever have friends here. And we just want t g back t ur ld hme.” I sat there and lked at my tiny inncent sn. His wrds mirrred my attitude. And I didn’t like the disturbing reflectin.

That’s when I knew that I needed an adjustment. I didn’t want my by t grw int a bitter kid. Over the next few weeks, I wrked very hard t fit in.

评分标准：
第一段应写“我”如何调整“我”对“新社区”的态度，可以侧重写“我”付诸了哪些努力和行动，与故事材料中所呈现的“我”之前排斥新环境的态度与表现形成反差，以期对儿子Samuel树立积极的榜样。第一段结尾可以写Samuel对新社区的态度发生了积极的改变。
第二段应写“我”与在图书馆读书沙龙活动中再次偶遇的女士进行积极的社交尝试，建立发展出新的友谊，从而逐渐积极融入新社区，获得归属感。故事结尾方向可以是体现积极适应新环境的正面人生态度。Gd evening, dear friends!_________________________________________________
