In the 1940s, yung male Ryal Air Frce pilts held needles as they waited fr their next missin. Wartime pilts suffered a lt and knitting helped rebuild dexterity (灵巧) in wunded arms while als helping t settle wunded minds.
Tday, millins f peple arund the wrld emply the same technique. “I knw that if I haven’t knitted fr a few days, I really miss it. It’s like meditatin.” says Janine Smith, wh wns a stre in Sydney selling supplies fr knitting.
Research supprts Smith’s statement. Physitherapist Betsan Crkhill and ccupatinal therapist Jill Riley were part f a team frm Cardiff University that, ten years ag, surveyed mre than 3,500 knitters and fund that the mre frequently peple knitted, the calmer and happier they felt.
Or as Jannie Smith puts it, “That rhythm f making stitch after stitch is like deep breathing. It’s a flw where yu dn’t have t stress abut it, yu’ve gt the rhythm happening.”
“Flw” is a cncept first named by psychlgist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. As he wrte in his bk, “The best mments in ur lives are neither the passive nr relaxing times. The best mments usually ccur if a persn’s bdy r mind is stretched t its limits in a vluntary effrt t accmplish smething difficult and wrthwhile.”
The Cardiff research team fund that many respndents described feeling calmer and in a better md after knitting, and the majrity f respndents wh suffered frm depressin “perceived that knitting made them feel happier.” Fr respndents wh suffered frm chrnic pain, almst nine ut f ten said that knitting gave them a sense f accmplishment and a means f cping with their pain.
Interestingly, mre than half f thse surveyed said that knitting pushed them t develp ther skills, like building furniture. Because knitting is s accessible — at its heart it’s tw sticks and ne stitch — it helps peple build cnfidence in their abilities. After all, if yu make a mistake, yu can just pull it all ut and start again.
4. Why des the authr mentin yung male Ryal Air Frce pilts in paragraph 1?
A. T give an example f a knitter.
B. T shw the heavy burden n pilts.
C. T demnstrate the technique f pilts.
D. T intrduce the healing effect f knitting.
5. Which can be called as the best mment accrding t Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi?
A. Watching TV tgether with friends.B. Taking physical exams.
C. Playing chess with a great ppnent.D. Reading funny cmic bks.
6. Accrding t a research f Cardiff University, which statement abut knitting is true?
A. It mtivates peple t stretch their bdies.
B. It enables peple t build furniture.
C. It helps peple t get rid f chrnic pain.
D. It allws peple t build cnfidence t learn ther skills.
7. What wuld be the best title fr the text?
A. Active Hands, Calm MindsB. Healthier Attitude, Lnger Life
C. Easy Knitting, Skill BuildingD. Mind Calming, Flw Finding

In 2012, James Camern, creatr f Avatar and Titanic, became the first persn t reach the Challenger Deep. When he arrived at the deepest spt n Earth at 7 miles belw sea level, he spent hurs mapping the regin and taking phts and samples.
“As human beings, we’re drawn t abslutes—the deepest, the highest, the cldest, the farthest,” he says. “And as a stryteller and curius mnkey, I just wanted t see what was there.” The answer is bvius—plastic and mre. “Our s-called civilizatin is using the cean as its tilet,” Camern says. “Unless this changes, cean ecsystems are ging t cntinue their rapid cllapse.”
Despite decades f envirnmental studies, the impact f plastic and ther frms f pllutin n ceans are nt entirely understd. Initial studies appear t indicate that ingesting(摄取) them—either directly r indirectly—culd cause disease. Plastics can als release pisnus substances int the water, which culd ptentially impact animal ppulatins.
But plastic is just ne f the prblems facing ceans that have yet t be fully understd. “Plastic waste in the cean is hrrifying but is nly the mst bvius f ur many deadly waste streams, which include carbn that’s heating the atmsphere and making the cean acidic, and the run-ff nutrients frm all the wrld’s agriculture, which is causing anxic(缺氧的) dead znes the size f cuntries,” Camern says.
Oceans, like the rest f the wrld, are impacted by the burning f fssil fuels and the release f greenhuse gases like carbn dixide—abut 30 percent f which is absrbed by the sea. This absrptin causes cean acidificatin, where the pH level is altered t becme mre acidic. As a result, it’s harder fr sme creatures t frm shells and skeletns and cuntless species at the base f the fd web can struggle t survive, which, scientists say, has the ptential t cause huge disruptins t entire ecsystems. Indeed, cean acidificatin is thught t have played an imprtant rle in Earth’s wrst-ever mass extinctin event 252 millin years ag.
The effect f climate change n the wrld’s ceans will likely wrsen in cming decades. Last June, scientists annunced carbn dixide levels had reached the highest levels since human recrds began. The last time carbn dixide levels were this high was during the Plicene era, between 3 and 5 millin years ag, when glbal temperatures were abut 4 degrees Celsius warmer than they are tday. Current climate mdels suggest that if greenhuse gas emissins cntinue n their current trend, we may be n curse t see 4 degrees f warming by 2100.
As a result, understanding the rle ceans have n glbal systems is becming mre and mre imprtant.
8. What are the first tw paragraphs mainly abut?
A. The authr’s feelings t the cean.B. Camern’s mvies and remarks.
C. The authr’s discveries under the sea.D. Camern’s bservatin and cncern.
9. What can we infer frm the passage?
A. Several cuntries are suffering frm anxic dead znes.
B. Mre cncern shuld have been given t the pllutin n ceans.
C. Plastic is suppsed t be the mst serius envirnmental prblem.
D. Ocean acidificatin remves the nutrients frm agricultural prducts.
10. What des the underlined wrd “disruptins” in Paragraph 5 prbably mean?
A. Decreases.B. Destructin.
C Diseases.D. Discriminatin.
11. Why des the authr mentin the mass extinctin event 252 millin years ag?
A. T call n peple t prtect sea animals.
B. T cmpare current situatins with the past.
C. T explain hw serius the cean prblem is.
D. T prve pllutin t be the cause f acidificatin.
D
A snake-rbt designer, a technlgist, an extradimensinal physicist and a jurnalist walk int a rm. The jurnalist turns t the crwd and asks: Shuld we build huses n the cean? Like a think-tank panel, members f the team dream up far-ut answers t the crucial prblem, such as self-driving husing units that culd park n tp f ne anther in the castal city center.
The setting is X, the enterprise which cnsiders mre than 100 ideas each year, in areas ranging frm clean energy t artificial intelligence. Althugh nly a tiny percentage becme “prjects” with far-reaching creativity, these prjects exist, ultimately, t change the wrld, like Waym, the biggest self-driving-car cmpany.
In the past 60 years, smething strange has happened. As the academic study f creativity has thrived (蓬勃发展), the label innvatin may have cvered every tiny change f a sda can r a tthpaste flavr, but the rate f prductivity grwth has been mstly declining since the 1970s. Jhn Fernald, an ecnmist, pints ut that the ntable exceptin t the pst-1970 decline in prductivity ccurred when businesses thrughut the ecnmy finally figured ut the breakthrugh technlgy-infrmatin technlgy. Jhn Fernald says, “It’s pssible that prductivity tk ff, because we picked all the lw-hanging fruit frm the IT wave.” Actually. the wrld ecnmy cntinues t harvest the benefits f IT. But where will the next technlgy shck cme frm?
Breakthrugh technlgy results frm tw distinct activities — inventin and innvatin. Inventin is typically the wrk f scientists and researchers in labs, while innvatin is an inventin put t cmmercial use. Seldm d the tw activities ccur successfully under the same rf. They tend t thrive in ppsite cnditins; while cmpetitin and cnsumer chice encurage innvatin, inventin has histrically prgressed in labs that are prtected frm the pressure t generate prfit.
Allwing well-funded and diverse teams t try t slve big prblems is what gave us the cmputer and the Internet. Tday, we fail t give attentin t planting the seeds f this kind f ambitius research, while cmplaining abut the harvest. “Cmpanies are really gd at cmbining existing breakthrughs in ways that cnsumers like. But the breakthrughs cme frm patient and curius scientists, nt the rush t market,” says Jhn Gertner, the authr f The Idea Factry.
“Technlgy is a tall tree,” Jhn Fernald said. “But planting the seeds f inventin and harvesting the fruit f innvatin are entirely distinct skills, ften mastered by different rganizatins and separated by many years.” As fr me, bth f them are essential fr technlgy, althugh they are relatively independent. “I dn’t think X is a planter r a harvester, actually. I think f X as building taller ladders. They reach where thers cannt.” he added. Several weeks later, his wrds were repeated t several X emplyees. “That’s perfect,” they said. “That’s s perfect.” Nbdy knws fr sure what, if anything, the emplyees at X are ging t find up n thse ladders. But they’re reaching. At least smene is.
12. What is the main purpse f the first tw paragraphs?
A. T present the prcess f grup discussin.B. T illustrate X’s wrry abut big prblems.
C. T reveal the imprtance f the crazy ideas.D. T stress the varied backgrunds f the team.
13. What can we learn frm the Paragraph 3 — 4?
A. Breakthrughs must stand the test f the market.
B. Innvatin n necessities can prmte prductivity.
C Inventin develps slwly under the pressure f prfit.
D. The harvest f innvatin lies in sme ambitius research.
14. What’s X emplyee’ attitude regarding Jhn Fernald’s view n technlgy?
A. Irnic.B. Uninterested.C. Cnservative.D. Supprtive.
15. What can be inferred abut X frm the passage?
A. It will fcus n innvatin.B. It will have its utcme sn.
C. It may bring an encuraging utlk.D. It may give in t its fruitless reality.

“Jrdi! Wake up!” Father’s vice called frm the hallway, and I sat up quickly. The day finally came! The day that I wuld be a castellar—a twer builder. Mama had breakfast ready. “Are yu prepared fr yur mment f fame?” Papa asked in excitement. My thrat was suddenly very dry, and the bread gt stuck as I swallwed.

Then fifty mre men and wmen crwded behind and began pushing n their backs t keep them tightly tgether.
Our base was slid. Fur smaller men climbed nt the backs f the base grup and std n their shulders. They then grabbed nt each ther’s arms and held firmly, creating a strng secnd tier (层).

In the 1940s, yung male Ryal Air Frce pilts held needles as they waited fr their next missin. Wartime pilts suffered a lt and knitting helped rebuild dexterity (灵巧) in wunded arms while als helping t settle wunded minds.
Tday, millins f peple arund the wrld emply the same technique. “I knw that if I haven’t knitted fr a few days, I really miss it. It’s like meditatin.” says Janine Smith, wh wns a stre in Sydney selling supplies fr knitting.
Research supprts Smith’s statement. Physitherapist Betsan Crkhill and ccupatinal therapist Jill Riley were part f a team frm Cardiff University that, ten years ag, surveyed mre than 3,500 knitters and fund that the mre frequently peple knitted, the calmer and happier they felt.
Or as Jannie Smith puts it, “That rhythm f making stitch after stitch is like deep breathing. It’s a flw where yu dn’t have t stress abut it, yu’ve gt the rhythm happening.”
“Flw” is a cncept first named by psychlgist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. As he wrte in his bk, “The best mments in ur lives are neither the passive nr relaxing times. The best mments usually ccur if a persn’s bdy r mind is stretched t its limits in a vluntary effrt t accmplish smething difficult and wrthwhile.”
The Cardiff research team fund that many respndents described feeling calmer and in a better md after knitting, and the majrity f respndents wh suffered frm depressin “perceived that knitting made them feel happier.” Fr respndents wh suffered frm chrnic pain, almst nine ut f ten said that knitting gave them a sense f accmplishment and a means f cping with their pain.
Interestingly, mre than half f thse surveyed said that knitting pushed them t develp ther skills, like building furniture. Because knitting is s accessible — at its heart it’s tw sticks and ne stitch — it helps peple build cnfidence in their abilities. After all, if yu make a mistake, yu can just pull it all ut and start again.
4. Why des the authr mentin yung male Ryal Air Frce pilts in paragraph 1?
A. T give an example f a knitter.
B. T shw the heavy burden n pilts.
C. T demnstrate the technique f pilts.
D. T intrduce the healing effect f knitting.
5. Which can be called as the best mment accrding t Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi?
A. Watching TV tgether with friends.B. Taking physical exams.
C. Playing chess with a great ppnent.D. Reading funny cmic bks.
6. Accrding t a research f Cardiff University, which statement abut knitting is true?
A. It mtivates peple t stretch their bdies.
B. It enables peple t build furniture.
C. It helps peple t get rid f chrnic pain.
D. It allws peple t build cnfidence t learn ther skills.
7. What wuld be the best title fr the text?
A. Active Hands, Calm MindsB. Healthier Attitude, Lnger Life

In 2012, James Camern, creatr f Avatar and Titanic, became the first persn t reach the Challenger Deep. When he arrived at the deepest spt n Earth at 7 miles belw sea level, he spent hurs mapping the regin and taking phts and samples.
“As human beings, we’re drawn t abslutes—the deepest, the highest, the cldest, the farthest,” he says. “And as a stryteller and curius mnkey, I just wanted t see what was there.” The answer is bvius—plastic and mre. “Our s-called civilizatin is using the cean as its tilet,” Camern says. “Unless this changes, cean ecsystems are ging t cntinue their rapid cllapse.”
Despite decades f envirnmental studies, the impact f plastic and ther frms f pllutin n ceans are nt entirely understd. Initial studies appear t indicate that ingesting(摄取) them—either directly r indirectly—culd cause disease. Plastics can als release pisnus substances int the water, which culd ptentially impact animal ppulatins.
But plastic is just ne f the prblems facing ceans that have yet t be fully understd. “Plastic waste in the cean is hrrifying but is nly the mst bvius f ur many deadly waste streams, which include carbn that’s heating the atmsphere and making the cean acidic, and the run-ff nutrients frm all the wrld’s agriculture, which is causing anxic(缺氧的) dead znes the size f cuntries,” Camern says.
Oceans, like the rest f the wrld, are impacted by the burning f fssil fuels and the release f greenhuse gases like carbn dixide—abut 30 percent f which is absrbed by the sea. This absrptin causes cean acidificatin, where the pH level is altered t becme mre acidic. As a result, it’s harder fr sme creatures t frm shells and skeletns and cuntless species at the base f the fd web can struggle t survive, which, scientists say, has the ptential t cause huge disruptins t entire ecsystems. Indeed, cean acidificatin is thught t have played an imprtant rle in Earth’s wrst-ever mass extinctin event 252 millin years ag.
The effect f climate change n the wrld’s ceans will likely wrsen in cming decades. Last June, scientists annunced carbn dixide levels had reached the highest levels since human recrds began. The last time carbn dixide levels were this high was during the Plicene era, between 3 and 5 millin years ag, when glbal temperatures were abut 4 degrees Celsius warmer than they are tday. Current climate mdels suggest that if greenhuse gas emissins cntinue n their current trend, we may be n curse t see 4 degrees f warming by 2100.
As a result, understanding the rle ceans have n glbal systems is becming mre and mre imprtant.
8. What are the first tw paragraphs mainly abut?
A. The authr’s feelings t the cean.B. Camern’s mvies and remarks.
C. The authr’s discveries under the sea.D. Camern’s bservatin and cncern.
9. What can we infer frm the passage?
A. Several cuntries are suffering frm anxic dead znes.
B. Mre cncern shuld have been given t the pllutin n ceans.
C. Plastic is suppsed t be the mst serius envirnmental prblem.
D. Ocean acidificatin remves the nutrients frm agricultural prducts.
10. What des the underlined wrd “disruptins” in Paragraph 5 prbably mean?
A. Decreases.B. Destructin.
C Diseases.D. Discriminatin.
11. Why des the authr mentin the mass extinctin event 252 millin years ag?
A. T call n peple t prtect sea animals.
B. T cmpare current situatins with the past.
C. T explain hw serius the cean prblem is.
D. T prve pllutin t be the cause f acidificatin.
D
A snake-rbt designer, a technlgist, an extradimensinal physicist and a jurnalist walk int a rm. The jurnalist turns t the crwd and asks: Shuld we build huses n the cean? Like a think-tank panel, members f the team dream up far-ut answers t the crucial prblem, such as self-driving husing units that culd park n tp f ne anther in the castal city center.
The setting is X, the enterprise which cnsiders mre than 100 ideas each year, in areas ranging frm clean energy t artificial intelligence. Althugh nly a tiny percentage becme “prjects” with far-reaching creativity, these prjects exist, ultimately, t change the wrld, like Waym, the biggest self-driving-car cmpany.
In the past 60 years, smething strange has happened. As the academic study f creativity has thrived (蓬勃发展), the label innvatin may have cvered every tiny change f a sda can r a tthpaste flavr, but the rate f prductivity grwth has been mstly declining since the 1970s. Jhn Fernald, an ecnmist, pints ut that the ntable exceptin t the pst-1970 decline in prductivity ccurred when businesses thrughut the ecnmy finally figured ut the breakthrugh technlgy-infrmatin technlgy. Jhn Fernald says, “It’s pssible that prductivity tk ff, because we picked all the lw-hanging fruit frm the IT wave.” Actually. the wrld ecnmy cntinues t harvest the benefits f IT. But where will the next technlgy shck cme frm?
Breakthrugh technlgy results frm tw distinct activities — inventin and innvatin. Inventin is typically the wrk f scientists and researchers in labs, while innvatin is an inventin put t cmmercial use. Seldm d the tw activities ccur successfully under the same rf. They tend t thrive in ppsite cnditins; while cmpetitin and cnsumer chice encurage innvatin, inventin has histrically prgressed in labs that are prtected frm the pressure t generate prfit.
Allwing well-funded and diverse teams t try t slve big prblems is what gave us the cmputer and the Internet. Tday, we fail t give attentin t planting the seeds f this kind f ambitius research, while cmplaining abut the harvest. “Cmpanies are really gd at cmbining existing breakthrughs in ways that cnsumers like. But the breakthrughs cme frm patient and curius scientists, nt the rush t market,” says Jhn Gertner, the authr f The Idea Factry.
“Technlgy is a tall tree,” Jhn Fernald said. “But planting the seeds f inventin and harvesting the fruit f innvatin are entirely distinct skills, ften mastered by different rganizatins and separated by many years.” As fr me, bth f them are essential fr technlgy, althugh they are relatively independent. “I dn’t think X is a planter r a harvester, actually. I think f X as building taller ladders. They reach where thers cannt.” he added. Several weeks later, his wrds were repeated t several X emplyees. “That’s perfect,” they said. “That’s s perfect.” Nbdy knws fr sure what, if anything, the emplyees at X are ging t find up n thse ladders. But they’re reaching. At least smene is.
12. What is the main purpse f the first tw paragraphs?
A. T present the prcess f grup discussin.B. T illustrate X’s wrry abut big prblems.
C. T reveal the imprtance f the crazy ideas.D. T stress the varied backgrunds f the team.
13. What can we learn frm the Paragraph 3 — 4?
A. Breakthrughs must stand the test f the market.
B. Innvatin n necessities can prmte prductivity.
C Inventin develps slwly under the pressure f prfit.
D. The harvest f innvatin lies in sme ambitius research.
14. What’s X emplyee’ attitude regarding Jhn Fernald’s view n technlgy?
A. Irnic.B. Uninterested.C. Cnservative.D. Supprtive.
15. What can be inferred abut X frm the passage?
A. It will fcus n innvatin.B. It will have its utcme sn.
C. It may bring an encuraging utlk.D. It may give in t its fruitless reality.

“Jrdi! Wake up!” Father’s vice called frm the hallway, and I sat up quickly. The day finally came! The day that I wuld be a castellar—a twer builder. Mama had breakfast ready. “Are yu prepared fr yur mment f fame?” Papa asked in excitement. My thrat was suddenly very dry, and the bread gt stuck as I swallwed.
