If yu have ever seen a snwflake design n jewelry r a bag, chances are it was based n ne f Wilsn Bentley’s mre than 5,000 phtmicrgraphs f snw crystals (晶体).
At first, thugh, Bentley did nt have any way t share his enjyment f the delicate hexagns (六边形) ther than t draw them. He spent hurs utside r inside his unheated strerm with a micrscpe. He wuld pick up a snw crystal and transfer it t a micrscpe slide. There, he flattened it with a bird feather. Then, hlding his breath, he bserved the crystal and hurried t draw what he saw befre it turned frever int thin air.
A few years later, Bentley began his pursuit t phtgraph a snw crystal. He attached a micrscpe t a camera. Time after time, his negatives appeared blank. The fllwing winter, he finally figured ut that t much light was reaching the camera. His slutin was t place a metal plate with a tiny hle in the center beneath the stage f the micrscpe. It cut dwn the stray (杂散的) light and allwed nly the light waves carrying the image t reach the camera.
On January 15, 1885, at the age f 19, Bentley finally phtgraphed a snwflake! He spent many hurs ver the next 45 years in his tiny darkrm develping negatives.
Bentley lived his entire life n his childhd farm. He farmed fr a living. T his friends and family, he was kind, gentle, and funny “Willie”. But t scientists, he was the untrained researcher wh became a snw crystal pineer. He wrte fr science jurnals. He nt nly phtgraphed snw crystals but als became an authrity n dew (露水) and frst. He kept a detailed daily lg f lcal weather cnditins thrughut his life. He develped a methd t measure the size f raindrps t.
Bentley never made mre than a few thusand dllars frm his wrk. It had been a labr f lve, and he was satisfied t be able t share the beauty f his snw crystals with the wrld. And tday, he is remembered as Snwflake Bentley.
24. Why did Bentley draw the snw crystals?
A. T design prducts.B. T becme an artist.
C. T share his pleasure.D. T research the weather.
25. T phtgraph a snw crystal, Bentley _______.
A. imprved the micrscpeB. changed the negatives
C. turned dwn the lightD. invented a camera
26. What d we knw abut Bentley?
A. He lived a successful but bring life.B. He was laughed at fr lack f training.
C. He earned a lt f mney frm his phts.D. He was nt nly an artist but als a scientist.
27. What can we learn frm this passage?
A. Practice makes perfect.B. Intelligence is the key t success.
C. Lve and devtin makes a persn.D. Chances are fr thse wh are prepared.

I lve a grup text—a grext, if yu’ll permit me—but lately, the huge number f them cmpeting fr my attentin has felt ut f cntrl. By the time I wake up, the ntificatins have already started rlling in; as I’m ging t bed, they’re still cming. In between, I try t keep up, but all it takes is ne 30-minute meeting befre I’ve smehw gtten 100 new messages. I scrll up and up, trying t find where I left ff, like I’ve lst my place in a bk that keeps getting lnger.
Fr better r fr wrse, we might be in the Age f the Grup Chat. One study fund that less than 2 percent f participants had nly ne-n-ne chats n scial media. 42 percent said that grup chats can feel like a part-time jb. Other studies have fund that grup chats can cntribute t grup bnd and shared fun. A grup text can be like a reminder that yu’re part f smething. Sme researchers call this “ambient virtual presence”: Even when yu’re alne, yu’re nt alne. This is like bats and dlphins prducing a cntinuus sund and use the resulting ech (回声) t sense what’s arund them.
But taking in t many signals can create a “waterfall type f effect,” where messages keep flding in and adding up. Eventually, yu’re underwater. Adding t the disrder, withut a standard rule, peple have very different ideas abut grup nrm and what degree f respnsiveness is required—which can cause real tensin.
Fear f that tensin can make wrdless r even leaving a chat feel dispiriting. And anyway, yu might nt want t miss ut. The desire isn’t t exit the rm s much as t break a windw. If grup messaging is like echlcatin, then discnnecting means lst.
Ultimately, mst f us d want cnnectin, even if it invlves sme duties; we’ll take quantities f messages when we’re busy if it means we can reach ut when we’re hurting. A general advice is t give up grexts that are carrying n but that dn’t really interest yu. But when yu can’t, yu’ll just have t accept that belnging takes sme effrt. That’s the nature f relatinships, right?
28. The authr uses his experience in Paragraph 1 t _______.
A. intrduce the tpicB. predict the ending
C. highlight an pininD. illustrate an argument
29. What can be inferred frm Paragraph 2?
A. Lnely peple prefer grup chats.B. Bats and dlphins have grup chats.
C. Grup chats ffer a sense f belnging.D. Grup chats create a few part-time jbs.
30. What des the writer intend t tell us?
A. Grup chat needs a standard rule.
B. Grup chat gives us mre fear than jy.
C. Grup chat helps prmte strng cnnectin.
D. Grup chat is just a way t maintain relatinships.

Brders, departments, r issue areas all represent what systems analysts call system bundaries. System bundaries divide the big, messy, intercnnected wrld int smaller subsystems. This is useful, even necessary. Our minds and ur cllective gvernance systems wuld be stuck if we had t always cnsider all the cnnectins f everything t everything else. But dividing systems int subsystems can smetimes break a natural cperativity. Fr instance, a decarbnizing cuntry will spend mney in its energy and transprtatin sectrs and save mney in its health system.
Decarbnizatin culd be a win fr the whle, but it might be experienced as a bther fr particular subsystems.
Dnella Meadws, the early systems mdeler, wrte that system bundaries are “lines in the mind, nt in the wrld.” And that is actually gd news. If departments, and disciplines are just ideas, then there is nthing immvable abut them. We can make these brders less bvius and cnduct partnerships acrss them. We can even redraw them t include mre f what matters in a single prject r investment. That’s the premise f multislving — using ne investment f time r effrt t achieve several gals at nce.
Fr instance, Warm Up New Zealand (WUNZ) upgraded the energy efficiency f residential buildings and prvided jbs in the building sectr after a financial dwnturn. The prject resulted in better health fr residents, as well. That translated int health systems savings. Taken tgether, a 2011 study estimated that acrss all these benefits, the prject saved $3.90 fr every $1 invested.
Multislving seems pssible everywhere and like an bvius chice. Yet, it is very much the exceptin, nt the rule. Why is multislving still s rare when it has the pwer t bst prgress n sme f the mst urgent issues we face?
Unfamiliarity stands in the way, as des an ften-unexamined assumptin that making issues smaller makes them easier t address. We ften hear the viewpint, “I already wrk n pverty (r climate, etc.) and that’s hard enugh. Why shuld I add bidiversity r pllutin t the mix?” Fundraising fr crssing brders can be a struggle t. Funders want the “visible results” shwn, but they dn’t always see crssing brders as an essential part f achieving thse results.
It is easy t devalue and underemphasize cnnectin-building. After all, it can be delicate and nt always visible. But t realize gals in tday’s wrld, frm equitable plicies and lw-carbn facilities t values like cperatin and fairness, we d need deep shifts, and we need them sn. And facilitating the flw f ideas back and frth acrss brders is ne way t speed change.
31. As fr systems bundaries, the authr is ______.
A. criticalB. puzzledC. supprtiveD. uncncerned
32. What des the wrd “premise” underlined in Paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A Predictin.B. Precnditin.C. Preventin.D. Presentatin.
33. What can we learn frm the passage?
A. Peple are familiar with multislving.
B. WUNZ perfrmed multislving successfully.
C. Raising mney helps t prduce visible results.
D. Multislving is widely used t address prblems.
34. Which wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A. Multislving: Hard t achieve sn
B. Multislving: Essential t slve small issues
C. Multislving: Cnducting partnership acrss brders
D. Multislving: Making systems whle, healthy, and sustainable

Flw is a cgnitive (认知的) state where ne is cmpletely immersed (沉浸) in an activity — frm painting and writing t yga and surfbarding. ___35___
The prcess f flw was discvered and cined by the Hungarian-American psychlgist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. In the 1960s, Csikszentmihalyi studied the creative prcess and fund that, when an artist was in the curse f flw, they wuld insist n their task strictly, regardless f hunger r exhaustin. ___36___
One f Csikszentmihalyi’s key pints abut flw is that a persn needs t push neself ut f their cmfrt zne t stimulate it. Because it’s a dynamic state, ne has t cnstantly adjust the skill level, challenge, and cmplexity required fr the activity. ___37___ If yur skill level ges beynd the activity, bredm will set in, which will break the state f flw.
___38___ One can access flw by thinking f activities like sprts, dancing and painting. We can als have a flw state experience with many f ur day-t-day tasks and encunters. Watching TV and vide gaming, hwever, are nt n that list.
Flw can als be a tl fr better emtin regulatin (调节). When a persn is in a state f flw, there is little need fr dubts r anxieties abut neself r the wrld in general. ___39___ Thrugh the prcess f flw, a persn chses t fcus n a task and gain a sense f autnmy ver time, bdy, and mind.
Hwever pushing yurself t find the flw state can backfire. In fact, trying t hard r wndering whether yu are in this state in itself ges against flw. We lse the balance between tensin and skill level if we cncentrate t much n the task.
A. Even the uncertainties f life fall away.
B. Peple may nt realize it but anyne can find flw.
C. Ask yurself if a certain task will fulfill a gal f yurs.
D. Flw can smetimes be viewed as a frerunner fr peak perfrmance.
E. He als fund that the artist wuld highlight the prcess and nt the end result.
F. As yu practice a skill, yur level f mastery will change as will the feeling f flw.
G. It invlves intense fcus, creative engagement and the lss f awareness f time and self.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
There’s a difference between being nice and being kind. Being nice invlves being plite and pleasing t thers. If yu’re peple pleasing, yu’re placing an expectatin n the persn yu’re being nice t that they respnd t yu in a certain way. Being kind is less self-serving. On the ne hand, kindness invlves being generus withut expecting anything in return. The ther half is the purpse behind the actin. A kind persn is acting ut f sympathy and genuine cncern fr anther.
The difference is intentinality, said Dr. Catherine Franssen, an assciate prfessr f psychlgy at Lngwd University in Virginia, nting that a kind persn tries t really understand what smene else is ging thrugh.
Practicing kindness rather than niceness allws peple t develp deeper genuine cnnectins with thers, said Franssen. The mre yu d it, the easier it will get t relate t thers and build mre meaningful relatinships in all aspects f life.
The warm feeling yu get frm perfrming an act f kindness is yur brain releasing a tn f feel-gd chemicals. Franssen said being kind bsts prductin f sertnin, a neurtransmitter (神经传递素) invlved in md, including happiness. Kindness als releases dpamine, a brain chemical in charge f reward and pleasure. It’s the reasn why ding ne act f kindness feels s gd that yu want t d anther.
Being kind gives the same health benefits, regardless f hw big r small the gesture. Acts f kindness might feel strange and ut-f-character at first. Hwever, this feeling ges away the mre yu keep practicing. Sn enugh, it becmes s familiar yu’ll ntice the benefits n yurself and thers.
40. What des being kind invlve?

41. Why d yu get warm feeling when shwing kindness?

At first, thugh, Bentley did nt have any way t share his enjyment f the delicate hexagns (六边形) ther than t draw them. He spent hurs utside r inside his unheated strerm with a micrscpe. He wuld pick up a snw crystal and transfer it t a micrscpe slide. There, he flattened it with a bird feather. Then, hlding his breath, he bserved the crystal and hurried t draw what he saw befre it turned frever int thin air.
A few years later, Bentley began his pursuit t phtgraph a snw crystal. He attached a micrscpe t a camera. Time after time, his negatives appeared blank. The fllwing winter, he finally figured ut that t much light was reaching the camera. His slutin was t place a metal plate with a tiny hle in the center beneath the stage f the micrscpe. It cut dwn the stray (杂散的) light and allwed nly the light waves carrying the image t reach the camera.
On January 15, 1885, at the age f 19, Bentley finally phtgraphed a snwflake! He spent many hurs ver the next 45 years in his tiny darkrm develping negatives.
Bentley lived his entire life n his childhd farm. He farmed fr a living. T his friends and family, he was kind, gentle, and funny “Willie”. But t scientists, he was the untrained researcher wh became a snw crystal pineer. He wrte fr science jurnals. He nt nly phtgraphed snw crystals but als became an authrity n dew (露水) and frst. He kept a detailed daily lg f lcal weather cnditins thrughut his life. He develped a methd t measure the size f raindrps t.
Bentley never made mre than a few thusand dllars frm his wrk. It had been a labr f lve, and he was satisfied t be able t share the beauty f his snw crystals with the wrld. And tday, he is remembered as Snwflake Bentley.

I lve a grup text—a grext, if yu’ll permit me—but lately, the huge number f them cmpeting fr my attentin has felt ut f cntrl. By the time I wake up, the ntificatins have already started rlling in; as I’m ging t bed, they’re still cming. In between, I try t keep up, but all it takes is ne 30-minute meeting befre I’ve smehw gtten 100 new messages. I scrll up and up, trying t find where I left ff, like I’ve lst my place in a bk that keeps getting lnger.
Fr better r fr wrse, we might be in the Age f the Grup Chat. One study fund that less than 2 percent f participants had nly ne-n-ne chats n scial media. 42 percent said that grup chats can feel like a part-time jb. Other studies have fund that grup chats can cntribute t grup bnd and shared fun. A grup text can be like a reminder that yu’re part f smething. Sme researchers call this “ambient virtual presence”: Even when yu’re alne, yu’re nt alne. This is like bats and dlphins prducing a cntinuus sund and use the resulting ech (回声) t sense what’s arund them.
But taking in t many signals can create a “waterfall type f effect,” where messages keep flding in and adding up. Eventually, yu’re underwater. Adding t the disrder, withut a standard rule, peple have very different ideas abut grup nrm and what degree f respnsiveness is required—which can cause real tensin.
Fear f that tensin can make wrdless r even leaving a chat feel dispiriting. And anyway, yu might nt want t miss ut. The desire isn’t t exit the rm s much as t break a windw. If grup messaging is like echlcatin, then discnnecting means lst.
Ultimately, mst f us d want cnnectin, even if it invlves sme duties; we’ll take quantities f messages when we’re busy if it means we can reach ut when we’re hurting. A general advice is t give up grexts that are carrying n but that dn’t really interest yu. But when yu can’t, yu’ll just have t accept that belnging takes sme effrt. That’s the nature f relatinships, right?
28. The authr uses his experience in Paragraph 1 t _______.
A. intrduce the tpicB. predict the ending
C. highlight an pininD. illustrate an argument
29. What can be inferred frm Paragraph 2?
A. Lnely peple prefer grup chats.B. Bats and dlphins have grup chats.
C. Grup chats ffer a sense f belnging.D. Grup chats create a few part-time jbs.
30. What des the writer intend t tell us?
A. Grup chat needs a standard rule.
B. Grup chat gives us mre fear than jy.
C. Grup chat helps prmte strng cnnectin.
D. Grup chat is just a way t maintain relatinships.

Brders, departments, r issue areas all represent what systems analysts call system bundaries. System bundaries divide the big, messy, intercnnected wrld int smaller subsystems. This is useful, even necessary. Our minds and ur cllective gvernance systems wuld be stuck if we had t always cnsider all the cnnectins f everything t everything else. But dividing systems int subsystems can smetimes break a natural cperativity. Fr instance, a decarbnizing cuntry will spend mney in its energy and transprtatin sectrs and save mney in its health system.
Decarbnizatin culd be a win fr the whle, but it might be experienced as a bther fr particular subsystems.
Dnella Meadws, the early systems mdeler, wrte that system bundaries are “lines in the mind, nt in the wrld.” And that is actually gd news. If departments, and disciplines are just ideas, then there is nthing immvable abut them. We can make these brders less bvius and cnduct partnerships acrss them. We can even redraw them t include mre f what matters in a single prject r investment. That’s the premise f multislving — using ne investment f time r effrt t achieve several gals at nce.
Fr instance, Warm Up New Zealand (WUNZ) upgraded the energy efficiency f residential buildings and prvided jbs in the building sectr after a financial dwnturn. The prject resulted in better health fr residents, as well. That translated int health systems savings. Taken tgether, a 2011 study estimated that acrss all these benefits, the prject saved $3.90 fr every $1 invested.
Multislving seems pssible everywhere and like an bvius chice. Yet, it is very much the exceptin, nt the rule. Why is multislving still s rare when it has the pwer t bst prgress n sme f the mst urgent issues we face?
Unfamiliarity stands in the way, as des an ften-unexamined assumptin that making issues smaller makes them easier t address. We ften hear the viewpint, “I already wrk n pverty (r climate, etc.) and that’s hard enugh. Why shuld I add bidiversity r pllutin t the mix?” Fundraising fr crssing brders can be a struggle t. Funders want the “visible results” shwn, but they dn’t always see crssing brders as an essential part f achieving thse results.
It is easy t devalue and underemphasize cnnectin-building. After all, it can be delicate and nt always visible. But t realize gals in tday’s wrld, frm equitable plicies and lw-carbn facilities t values like cperatin and fairness, we d need deep shifts, and we need them sn. And facilitating the flw f ideas back and frth acrss brders is ne way t speed change.
31. As fr systems bundaries, the authr is ______.
A. criticalB. puzzledC. supprtiveD. uncncerned
32. What des the wrd “premise” underlined in Paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A Predictin.B. Precnditin.C. Preventin.D. Presentatin.
33. What can we learn frm the passage?
A. Peple are familiar with multislving.
B. WUNZ perfrmed multislving successfully.
C. Raising mney helps t prduce visible results.
D. Multislving is widely used t address prblems.
34. Which wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A. Multislving: Hard t achieve sn
B. Multislving: Essential t slve small issues
C. Multislving: Cnducting partnership acrss brders
D. Multislving: Making systems whle, healthy, and sustainable

Flw is a cgnitive (认知的) state where ne is cmpletely immersed (沉浸) in an activity — frm painting and writing t yga and surfbarding. ___35___
The prcess f flw was discvered and cined by the Hungarian-American psychlgist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. In the 1960s, Csikszentmihalyi studied the creative prcess and fund that, when an artist was in the curse f flw, they wuld insist n their task strictly, regardless f hunger r exhaustin. ___36___
One f Csikszentmihalyi’s key pints abut flw is that a persn needs t push neself ut f their cmfrt zne t stimulate it. Because it’s a dynamic state, ne has t cnstantly adjust the skill level, challenge, and cmplexity required fr the activity. ___37___ If yur skill level ges beynd the activity, bredm will set in, which will break the state f flw.
___38___ One can access flw by thinking f activities like sprts, dancing and painting. We can als have a flw state experience with many f ur day-t-day tasks and encunters. Watching TV and vide gaming, hwever, are nt n that list.
Flw can als be a tl fr better emtin regulatin (调节). When a persn is in a state f flw, there is little need fr dubts r anxieties abut neself r the wrld in general. ___39___ Thrugh the prcess f flw, a persn chses t fcus n a task and gain a sense f autnmy ver time, bdy, and mind.
Hwever pushing yurself t find the flw state can backfire. In fact, trying t hard r wndering whether yu are in this state in itself ges against flw. We lse the balance between tensin and skill level if we cncentrate t much n the task.
A. Even the uncertainties f life fall away.
B. Peple may nt realize it but anyne can find flw.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
There’s a difference between being nice and being kind. Being nice invlves being plite and pleasing t thers. If yu’re peple pleasing, yu’re placing an expectatin n the persn yu’re being nice t that they respnd t yu in a certain way. Being kind is less self-serving. On the ne hand, kindness invlves being generus withut expecting anything in return. The ther half is the purpse behind the actin. A kind persn is acting ut f sympathy and genuine cncern fr anther.
The difference is intentinality, said Dr. Catherine Franssen, an assciate prfessr f psychlgy at Lngwd University in Virginia, nting that a kind persn tries t really understand what smene else is ging thrugh.
Practicing kindness rather than niceness allws peple t develp deeper genuine cnnectins with thers, said Franssen. The mre yu d it, the easier it will get t relate t thers and build mre meaningful relatinships in all aspects f life.
The warm feeling yu get frm perfrming an act f kindness is yur brain releasing a tn f feel-gd chemicals. Franssen said being kind bsts prductin f sertnin, a neurtransmitter (神经传递素) invlved in md, including happiness. Kindness als releases dpamine, a brain chemical in charge f reward and pleasure. It’s the reasn why ding ne act f kindness feels s gd that yu want t d anther.
Being kind gives the same health benefits, regardless f hw big r small the gesture. Acts f kindness might feel strange and ut-f-character at first. Hwever, this feeling ges away the mre yu keep practicing. Sn enugh, it becmes s familiar yu’ll ntice the benefits n yurself and thers.
