An idea whse time has cme: the fur-day wrkweek
The fur-day wrkweek’s mment has arrived. With Califrnia Cngressman Mark Takan’s intrductin f legislatin t reduce the standard wrkweek frm 40 t 32 hurs, awareness f a shrter wrkweek-and 41 fr it-is gaining. And s is the skepticism arund it.
Initial skepticism is a(n) 42 respnse t a great change in hw we think abut wrk. American wrk culture has been defined by ideals f career as identity, wrkahlism and ambitins fr cntinuus grwth. It is nt 43 t free urselves frm the nly reality we knw.
And yet, if there were ever a right time, this is it. Fr s many, the muscles f adaptatin have 44 ver the past tw years with every challenge brught n by the pandemic and ther glbal crises. The rapid, significant transitin acrss industries t wrking frm hme prvided evidence that we can 45 quickly in respnse t changing cnditins. Nw, we have an pprtunity t exercise these muscles t 46 evlve frm utdated cnceptins f what wrk must lk like.
Fur-day wrkweek pilts are emerging acrss the glbe, with sme cmpanies nw shifting frm the 47 stage t implementing the plicy permanently. Micrsft Japan, Unilever New Zealand and Kick-starter represent just a few f a grwing number f rganizatins explring the fur-day wrkweek. 48 plitical leaders are vicing supprt fr the cncept. Last year, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardem apprved emplyers implementing a fur-day wrkweek t help stimulate dmestic turism in respnse t industry dwnturn brught n by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Advcates mentin many 49 , including reduced burnut, imprved physical and mental health, increased gender equity, and psitive envirnment impacts. It is easy t imagine what we might d with an additinal day-spend time with family and friends, pursue a hbby, enrll in classes, sleep. Many in favr f the fur-day wrkweek envisin a mre 50 and rested cmmunity. Pilt findings shw increased prductivity as well. Amng cmpanies that have adpted a fur-day week, nearly tw-thirds reprt increased prductivity.
Sme leaders will see the research and be 51 that a pilt in their rganizatin is wrthwhile. Other will resist the idea. What theries r beliefs are at the the rt f their cncerns? Many leaders were taught that face-time with emplyees is the nly way t ensure accuntability, prductivity and teamwrk. Less face-time, which fllws the fur-day wrkweek mdel and wrk-frm-hme arrangements, can feel t sme like 52 cntrl.
Fr leaders f rganizatins and teams, the shift t a fur-day wrkweek requires re-imagining standard perating prcedures, increasing innvatin and, perhaps mst imprtantly, trusting in 53 . Let emplyees wrk ut the details rather than trying t “slve” the fur-day wrkweek challenge 54 . Awin, a Berlin-based teach firm, saw 80 emplyees vlunteer fr task frces t ensure that their switch t a fur-day wrkweek went smthly. Thse wh are clsest t the wrk and ptential challenges are ften clsest t the 55 . The website als ffers many resurces t help cmpanies design a fur-day wrkweek pilt.

(A)
Green fingers
It never ccurred t me when I was little that gardens were anything less than glamrus places. Granddad’s garden was n the bank f a river and slped gently dwn twards the water. Yu culdn’t reach the river but yu culd hear the sund f the water and the birds that sang in the trees abve. I imagined that all gardens were like this - a place f escape, peace and slitude. Granddad’s small plt f land was nthing ut f the rdinary when it came t features. He had nthing as grand as a greenhuse, unlike sme f his neighbrs. Hwever, this little piece f land bre a great part f my carefree and jyful childhd.
At hme, his sn, my father, culd be quiet and withdrawn. I wuldn’t want t make him sund humrless. He wasn’t. Silly things wuld amuse him. I came t realize that, deep dwn, he was prbably disappinted that he hadn’t made mre f his life. He left schl withut qualificatins and became a plumber apprentice. Plumbing was nt smething he was passinate abut. It was just what he did. He was never particularly ambitius, thugh there was a mment when he and Mum thught f mving t Canada, but it came t nthing. Where he came int his wn was arund the huse. He had an “eye fr the jb”. Be it bkshelves r a cupbard - what he culd achieve was astnishing. My parents mved huse nly nce in their entire married life. But my father made up fr this lack f daring when it came t furniture. Yu wuld have just gt used t the shape f ne chair when anther appeared.
As fr me, schl didn’t appeal t me much. I wanted t leave schl as sn as pssible but that seemed an unlikely prspect until ne day my father annunced, “They’ve gt a vacancy fr an apprentice gardener in the Parks Department. I thught yu might be interested.” In ne brief mment Dad had gne against his better judgment. He might still have preferred it if I became a carpenter. But I like t feel that smewhere inside him was a feeling that things might just turn ut fr the best. Maybe I’m deceiving myself, but I prefer t believe that in his heart, althugh he hated gardening himself, he’d watched me ding it fr lng enugh and nticed my unfailing passin fr all things that grew and flwered and fruited.

56.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中“Granddad’s small plt f land was nthing ut f the rdinary when it came t features. He had nthing as grand as a greenhuse, unlike sme f his neighbrs. Hwever, this little piece f land bre a great part f my carefree and jyful childhd.”(爺爺?shù)哪且恍K土地在特征方面沒有什么特別之處。他沒有像溫室一樣宏偉的東西,不像他的一些鄰居。然而,這片小小的土地承載了我無憂無慮、快樂的童年的很大一部分。)可知,作者認為爺爺?shù)幕▓@承載了自己無憂無慮、快樂的童年的很大的一部分??赏浦?,作者對在爺爺?shù)幕▓@里度過的快樂時光是肯定的。故選D。
57.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中“At hme, his sn, my father, culd be quiet and withdrawn. I wuldn’t want t make him sund humrless. He wasn’t. Silly things wuld amuse him. I came t realize that, deep dwn, he was prbably disappinted that he hadn’t made mre f his life. ”(在家里,他的兒子,我的父親,安靜又孤僻。我不想讓他聽起來毫無幽默感。他沒有(幽默感)。像孩子一般的可笑的事情也會逗他開心。我開始意識到,在內(nèi)心深處,他可能因為他沒有為他的生活做出更多的貢獻而感到失望。)可知,作者意識到父親如同孩子一樣的行為源自父親的內(nèi)心深處對他沒有為生活做出更多的貢獻而感到失望。故選C。
58.推理判斷題。根據(jù)劃線句之后“He had an “eye fr the jb”. Be it bkshelves r a cupbard - what he culd achieve was astnishing. My parents mved huse nly nce in their entire married life. But my father made up fr this lack f daring when it came t furniture. Yu wuld have just gt used t the shape f ne chair when anther appeared.”(他對這份工作很有眼光,無論是書架還是櫥柜,他的成就都令人驚嘆。我父母婚后只搬過一次家。但我父親彌補了他在家具方面的膽怯。你剛剛習慣了一把椅子的形狀,另一把椅子就出現(xiàn)了。)可知,父親對于做家具很擅長,在這個領(lǐng)域可以充分展示他的天賦。所以可推知,劃線短語此處的含義為“父親能展示他自己的天賦”,故選B。
59.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“But I like t feel that smewhere inside him was a feeling that things might just turn ut fr the best. Maybe I’m deceiving myself, but I prefer t believe that in his heart, althugh he hated gardening himself, he’d watched me ding it fr lng enugh and nticed my unfailing passin fr all things that grew and flwered and fruited.”(但我喜歡他內(nèi)心深處的那種感覺,覺得事情可能會變得更好。也許我在欺騙自己,但我更愿意相信在他的心里,盡管他自己討厭園藝,但他已經(jīng)看著我做了足夠長的時間,并注意到我對所有生長、開花和結(jié)果的事物的不懈熱情。)可知,對于父親決定讓作者去做園丁學徒,作者認為是因為父親看自己做了足夠長的時間,并注意到自己對所有生長、開花和結(jié)果的事物的不懈熱情。故選C。

(C)
That everyne’s t busy these days is a cliche. But ne specific cmplaint is made frequently: There’s never any time t read. A prfessinal reader, the nvelist and critic Tim Parks, wrte in a New Yrk Review f Bks essay: “Every mment f serius reading has t be fught fr, planned fr.” Parks wrte that in June; last mnth, I finally fund time t read it.
What makes the prblem thrnier is that the usual time-management techniques dn’t seem sufficient. The web’s full f articles ffering tips n making time t read: “Give up TV” r “Carry a bk with yu at all times”. But in my experience, using such methds t free up the dd 30 minutes desn’t wrk. Sit dwn t read and the flywheel f wrk-related thughts keeps spinning — r else yu’re s exhausted that a challenging bk’s the last thing yu need. “The mdern mind,” Parks writes, “is verwhelmingly inclined tward cmmunicatin ... It is nt simply that ne is interrupted; it is that ne is actually inclined t interruptin.” Deep reading requires nt just time, but a special kind f time which can’t be btained merely by becming mre efficient.
In fact, “becming mre efficient” is part f the prblem. Thinking f time as a resurce t be maximized means yu apprach it instrumentally, judging any given mment as well spent nly in s far as it advances prgress tward sme gal. Immersive reading, by cntrast, depends n being willing t risk inefficiency, gallessness, even time-wasting. Try t slt it as a t-d list item and yu’ll manage nly gal-fcused reading — useful, smetimes, but nt the mst fulfilling kind. “The future cmes at us like empty bttles alng an unstppable and nearly infinite cnvey r belt,” writes Gary Eberle in his bk Sacred Time, and “we feel a pressure t fill these different-sized bttles (days, hurs, minutes) as they pass, fr if they get by withut being filled, we will have wasted them”. N mind-set culd be wrse fr lsing yurself in a bk.
S what des wrk? Perhaps surprisingly, scheduling regular times fr reading. Yu’d think this might fuel the efficiency mind-set, but in fact, Eberle ntes, such ritualistic behaviur helps us “step utside time’s flw” int “sul time”. Yu culd limit distractins by reading nly physical bks, r n single-purpse e-readers. “Carry a bk with yu at all times” can actually wrk, t-prviding yu dip in ften enugh, s that reading becmes the default state frm which yu temprarily surface t take care f business, befre drpping back dwn. On a really gd day, it n lnger feels as if yu’re “making time t read,” but just reading, and making time fr everything else.
63.The usual time-management techniques dn’t wrk because _________.
A.what they can ffer des nt ease the mdern mind
B.what challenging bks demand it repetitive reading
C.what peple ften frget is carrying a bk with them
D.what deep reading requires cannt be guaranteed
64.The “empty bttles” metaphr illustrates that peple feel a pressure t _________.
A.update their t-d listsB.make passing time fulfilling
C.carry their plans thrughD.pursue carefree reading

D.time can be evenly split fr reading and business
【答案】63.D 64.B 65.D 66.A
【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇說明文。文章主要說明了人們經(jīng)常抱怨沒有時間閱讀,而讓這個問題更加棘手的是,通常的時間管理技巧似乎并不足夠。因為深度閱讀不僅需要時間,而且需要一種特殊的時間,而這種時間不能僅僅通過提高效率來獲得。文章還介紹了如何實現(xiàn)沉浸式閱讀的方法。
63.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“Deep reading requires nt just time, but a special kind f time which can’t be btained merely by becming mre efficient.(深度閱讀不僅需要時間,而且需要一種特殊的時間,而這種時間不能僅僅通過提高效率來獲得)”可知,通常的時間管理技巧并不奏效,因為深度閱讀所需要的內(nèi)容無法得到保證。故選D。
64.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中““The future cmes at us like empty bttles alng an unstppable and nearly infinite cnvey r belt,” writes Gary Eberle in his bk Sacred Time, and “we feel a pressure t fill these different-sized bttles (days, hurs, minutes) as they pass, fr if they get by withut being filled, we will have wasted them”. N mind-set culd be wrse fr lsing yurself in a bk. (Gary Eberle在他的《神圣的時間》一書中寫道:“未來就像空瓶子沿著一條不可阻擋的、幾乎無限的輸送帶向我們走來。當這些不同大小的瓶子(天、小時、分鐘)經(jīng)過時,我們感到一種把它們裝滿的壓力,因為如果它們沒有被裝滿就過去了,我們就浪費了它們?!?”可知,“空瓶子”的比喻說明,人們感到有一種壓力,要讓打發(fā)時間變得有意義。故選B。
65.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中“S what des wrk? Perhaps surprisingly, scheduling regular times fr reading.(那么什么是有效的呢?也許令人驚訝的是,安排規(guī)律的閱讀時間)”可推知,Eberle認同安排規(guī)律的閱讀時間有助于實現(xiàn)沉浸式閱讀。故選D。
66.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中““Carry a bk with yu at all times” can actually wrk, t-prviding yu dip in ften enugh, s that reading becmes the default state frm which yu temprarily surface t take care f business, befre drpping back dwn. On a really gd day, it n lnger feels as if yu’re “making time t read,” but just reading, and making time fr everything else.(“隨時隨身攜帶一本書”實際上也能起作用——只要你經(jīng)常閱讀,那么閱讀就會成為你的默認狀態(tài),你會暫時浮出水面處理事務(wù),然后再回到原位。在一個非常好的日子里,你不會再覺得你“擠出時間來閱讀”,而是只是閱讀,并為其他事情騰出時間)”可知,如果閱讀成為你每天的首要任務(wù),“隨身攜帶一本書”是可行的。故選A。

【答案】67.D 68.A 69.E 70.F
【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇說明文。文章主要說明了如何在視頻時代蓬勃發(fā)展。
67.根據(jù)上文“The pandemic embedded vide int the wrkplace. Wrkers wh had never previusly been n camera suddenly spent every hur f the day getting used t the sight f themselves and their clleagues n screen.(疫情將視頻嵌入工作場所。以前從未上過鏡頭的員工突然把一天中的每一個小時都花在了習慣自己和同事在屏幕上的樣子上)”可知,上文提到了疫情期間人們開始利用視頻來工作,故本句承接上文說明雇主通過視頻對員工進行管理。故D選項“高管們意識到,他們可以向員工發(fā)送視頻信息,而不必在市政廳集會”符合語境,故選D。
68.根據(jù)上文“Since vide has becme mre central t wrk, it pays t be gd at it.(由于視頻在工作中越來越重要,擅長視頻是值得的)”以及后文“Wrkers can imprve under their wn steam, but cmpanies can help, t.(員工可以靠自己的力量進步,但公司也可以提供幫助)”可知,上文提到了擅長視頻值得,后文提到了個人和公司的努力,故本句說明值得的原因。故A選項“在視頻時代成為明星意味著要有合適的環(huán)境,說得好,聽得好”符合語境,故選A。
69.根據(jù)上文“Obviusly, there is a limit t hw level the playing-field-between hme ffices can be, when living envirnments between emplyees differ s greatly.(顯然,當員工之間的生活環(huán)境差異如此之大時,家庭辦公室之間的公平競爭環(huán)境是有限的)”以及后文“peple wh regularly make presentatins r see clients have greater claim n fancier equipment.(經(jīng)常做報告或會見客戶的人更有資格購買更高檔的設(shè)備)”可知,本句與上文構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折,指出普通人是否需要像明星那樣購買高檔設(shè)備,故E選項“然而,并不是每個人都需要看起來像一線明星”符合語境,故選E。
70.根據(jù)上文“Perhaps the least recgnised skill in the vide age is listening well.(也許在視頻時代,最不被認可的技能是善于傾聽)”以及后文“being able t turn yur camera ff when yur time is being ryally wasted may be the pandemic’s greatest gift t prductivity(當你的時間被嚴重浪費時,能夠關(guān)掉相機可能是疫情給生產(chǎn)力帶來的最大禮物)”可知,上文提到了不被認可的技能是善于傾聽,后文提到了關(guān)掉相機可以提高生產(chǎn)力,可推測本句是在說明完成工作的要求。故F選項“畢竟,虛擬會議的一大好處就是你可以在其中完成實際工作”符合語境,故選F。

What d We Knw Abut “Mathephbia”
Mathematician Mary de Lellis Gugh, wh ften bserved her struggling students fail t wrk ut mathematical prblems, cined the term ‘mathephbia’ in 1953. She described it as “a disease that prves fatal befre its presence is detected”. Other experts have defined it as “the panic, helplessness and mental disrganizatin that arises amng sme peple when they are required t slve a mathematical prblem” and “a general fear f cntact with mathematics”.
Sian Beilck, a cgnitive scientist and her clleagues f Barnard Cllege in New Yrk have shwn that math anxiety can start as sn as we enter frmal schling. “Math is ne f the first places in schl in western cultures where we really learn abut whether we gt smething right r wrng, and are expsed t being evaluated in timed tests.”
Girls may be mre prne t it than bys. Primary schl teachers ften have high levels f math anxiety, says Beilck, and in the US and elsewhere, they are mstly female. Since yung children tend t identify with adults f the same gender, this means girls are mre likely t pick up math anxiety frm their female teachers. Having a female teacher with math anxiety makes girls mre likely t believe gendered steretypes abut math, leading t prer achievement.
“Once yu have it, it can be self-lasting. Wrrying abut it can make it wrse.” says Beilck, whse study f children between the ages f five and eight suggests math anxiety might weaken perfrmance by burdening wrking memry. “As ur ability t fcus limited, ur attentin gets divided when we d mre than ne task at a time.” she says. “If yu’re wrried abut having t d math, yu may have an internal mnlgue saying yu can’t d this and at the same time yu’re trying t calculate numbers.”
When peple have math anxiety, they tend t avid the subject, as researchers frm 2019 shw. But since math builds n itself, aviding it makes it harder t catch up. “Math is fundatinal. If yu miss a certain idea, it’s harder t learn the next ne.” says Darcy Hallett. “And then yu can fall behind, which might make math mre f a targeted anxiety cmpared t ther tpics.”

【答案】Mathephbia is defined as a general fear f slving maths prblems, which usually starts at schl and is revealed thrugh tests.

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹說,數(shù)學恐懼癥被定義為對解決數(shù)學問題的普遍恐懼。它通常從學校開始,通過測試被發(fā)現(xiàn)。在對數(shù)學焦慮的女教師的影響下,女生更容易產(chǎn)生數(shù)學恐懼癥。孩子們在數(shù)學上的表現(xiàn)很差,因為他們對數(shù)學感到憂慮。此外,試圖逃避問題可能會使情況惡化。
【詳解】1.要點摘錄
①Other experts have defined it as “the panic, helplessness and mental disrganizatin that arises amng sme peple when they are required t slve a mathematical prblem” and “a general fear f cntact with mathematics”.
②Sian Beilck, a cgnitive scientist and her clleagues f Barnard Cllege in New Yrk have shwn that math anxiety can start as sn as we enter frmal schling. “Math is ne f the first places in schl in western cultures where we really learn abut whether we gt smething right r wrng, and are expsed t being evaluated in timed tests.”
③Girls may be mre prne t it than bys. Primary schl teachers ften have high levels f math anxiety, says Beilck, and in the US and elsewhere, they are mstly female. Since yung children tend t identify with adults f the same gender, this means girls are mre likely t pick up math anxiety frm their female teachers.
④“Once yu have it, it can be self-lasting. Wrrying abut it can make it wrse.” says Beilck, whse study f children between the ages f five and eight suggests math anxiety might weaken perfrmance by burdening wrking memry.
⑤When peple have math anxiety, they tend t avid the subject, as researchers frm 2019 shw. But since math builds n itself, aviding it makes it harder t catch up.
2.縝密構(gòu)思
將第1、2兩個要點進行整合,將3、4、5三個要點進行重組。
3.遣詞造句
Mathephbia is defined as a general fear f slving maths prblems, which usually starts at schl and is revealed thrugh tests.

Furthermre, attempt t evade the prblem may wrsen the situatin.
【點睛】[高分句型1] Mathephbia is defined as a general fear f slving maths prblems, which usually starts at schl and is revealed thrugh tests.(運用一個復(fù)雜的主從復(fù)合句對原文第一段和第二段進行了概括,其中which引導(dǎo)的非限制性定語從句表達高級)
[高分句型2] Children suffer pr perfrmance in math when burdened with wrry ver it.(用when引導(dǎo)的時間狀語從句對第四段進行了概括,從句中省略了“主語+be動詞”,表達非常高級)

72.書展的門票只能提前一天在網(wǎng)上購買。(available)
【答案】Tickets fr the bk exhibitin are available nline nly ne day in advance.
【詳解】考查動詞、名詞和短語。根據(jù)句意可知本句為一般現(xiàn)在時態(tài),“書展的門票”譯為tickets fr the bk exhibitin,tickets為主語,且為復(fù)數(shù),系動詞應(yīng)使用are,“在網(wǎng)上購買”譯為available nline,“提前”為in advance,為固定短語,“只能”譯為nly,故翻譯為Tickets fr the bk exhibitin are available nline nly ne day in advance。
73.一個連頭盔都不肯戴的騎車人怎么可能會有安全意識?(Hw)
【答案】Hw can a cyclist wh is reluctant t wear a helmet have an awareness f safety?
【詳解】考查定語從句。首先一個“騎車的人”可以用短語a cyclist;表示“不肯帶頭盔”可以用固定搭配be reluctant t“不愿意”,戴頭盔通常用動詞短語wear a helmet;“一個不肯帶頭盔的人”可以寫成定語從句的形式,用連詞wh引導(dǎo),即a cyclist wh is reluctant t wear a helmet;“有---的意識”可以表示為have an awareness f。故翻譯為Hw can a cyclist wh is reluctant t wear a helmet have an awareness f safety?
74.盡管有網(wǎng)紅受邀為這款產(chǎn)品站臺,消費者仍需考慮價格、質(zhì)量等諸多因素。(accunt)
【答案】Thugh sme Internet / web / nline celebrities are / have been invited t back up this prduct, cnsumers need t take int accunt quite a few factrs such as its price and quality.
【詳解】考查讓步狀語從句、時態(tài)、動詞短語和介詞短語。前半句“盡管有網(wǎng)紅受邀為這款產(chǎn)品站臺”,根據(jù)句意,謂語可用一般現(xiàn)在時態(tài)或現(xiàn)在完成時態(tài);“盡管”表達為連接詞thugh,引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句;“網(wǎng)紅”表達為名詞短語Internet / web / nline celebrities,作狀語從句的主語;“被邀請……做……”表達為invite sb t d sth,此處invite與“網(wǎng)紅”之間為動賓關(guān)系,應(yīng)用被動語態(tài),即are invited或have been invited;“為……站臺”即“支持……”,表達為動詞短語back up,賓語是“這款產(chǎn)品”this prduct,可用動詞不定式作狀語表示目的;前半句翻譯為:Thugh sme Internet / web/nline celebrities are / have been invited t back up this prduct。后半句“消費者仍需考慮價格、質(zhì)量等諸多因素”為主句,主語“消費者”用cnsumers;“需做……”表達為動詞短語need t d sth,為謂語動詞,陳述事實用一般現(xiàn)在時;根據(jù)要求,“考慮”表達為動詞take... int accunt;賓語“諸多因素”表達為名詞短語quite a few factrs;“價格、質(zhì)量等”可表達為短語such as its price and quality,整理語序,故翻譯為:Thugh sme Internet / web/nline celebrities are / have been invited t back up this prduct, cnsumers need t take int accunt quite a few factrs such as its price and quality.
75.新落成的學校拔地而起,已不是5年前的學校了,它配以現(xiàn)代化設(shè)施,為學生營造出良好的學習環(huán)境。(equip)
【答案】The newly-cmpleted/built schl rises frm the grund, which is n lnger what it was/used t be five years ag.
It is equipped with mdern facilities t prvide/ prviding a gd learning envirnment fr students.
【詳解】考查動詞短語,定語從句以及表語從句。新落成的學??梢苑g為“the newly-cmpleted/built schl”,在句中作主語。句子描述現(xiàn)在的一般事實,所以用一般現(xiàn)在時態(tài)。拔地而起可以翻譯為“rise frm the grund”,rise為句子的謂語動詞,主語是單數(shù),謂語動詞使用第三人稱單數(shù)形式rises;后面接非限定性定語從句修飾先行詞schl。先行詞指物,在定語從句中作主語,所以用關(guān)系代詞which引導(dǎo)?!安辉佟笨捎枚陶Zn lnger,從句為主系表結(jié)構(gòu),用what引導(dǎo)表語從句,表語從句翻譯為“what it was/used t be five years ag”,整個定語從句指該學校已經(jīng)不是五年前的樣子了;第二句話it指代前面的schl作主語,“配備……”be equipped with;“現(xiàn)代化設(shè)施”可以翻譯為mdern facilities;為學生營造出良好的學習環(huán)境可以翻譯為“prvide a gd learning envirnment fr students”,需要動詞不定式作目的狀語;或者prvide與邏輯主語facilities之間是主動關(guān)系,可以用現(xiàn)在分詞形式作后置定語。故翻譯為The newly-cmpleted/built schl rises frm the grund, which is n lnger what it was/used t be five years ag. It is equipped with mdern facilities t prvide/, prviding a gd learning envirnment fr students.

Dear Student Representatives,
As yu knw, we are appraching ur graduatin, and it's time t decide n a meaningful gift fr ur schl. After giving it sme thught, I wuld like t express my preference fr ptin ne, dnating a tree n behalf f ur grade.
There are several reasns why I believe this is the best chice. Firstly, a tree represents grwth, strength, and lngevity, which are all qualities that ur schl has instilled in us ver the years. By planting a tree, we symblize the lasting impact ur educatin has had n us and the future generatins f students wh will benefit frm it.
Secndly, a tree can serve as a physical reminder f ur time in schl. Whenever we visit ur alma mater in the future, we can see hw the tree has grwn and flurished, just like we have. It will create a cnnectin between the past and the present, reminding us f the memries and friendships we frmed during ur time here.
Lastly, planting a tree aligns with ur cmmitment t envirnmental sustainability. It will cntribute t imprving the air quality n campus, prvide shade, and supprt lcal bidiversity. It's a small gesture, but it carries a pwerful message abut ur respnsibility t prtect and preserve the envirnment.
I understand that creating a prmtinal vide fr ur schl may als be appealing, but I believe that a tree will leave a lasting legacy and have a mre prfund impact. I hpe yu will cnsider my perspective when making the final decisin.
Thank yu fr yur attentin, and I lk frward t hearing the utcme f ur discussins.
Best regards,
Li Hua
【參考答案】Dear Student Delegatin,
Generally speaking, bth plans are gd. But persnally, I am in favr f the first plan.
Planting a tree n campus in the name f senir three is much mre meaningful. In rder t make it thrive, everyne will take gd care f it, which helps stimulate the spirit f slidarity and cperatin. Besides, many years later, when seeing it we will be reminded f the days when we wrked hard here.
On the cntrary, shting shrt vides f enrllment requires high technical skills, especially filming and editing. Mrever, we are nt familiar with the prcess and details f enrllment, if there are sme errrs in the vide, chances are that it will nt nly fail t achieve the purpse f publicity, but als cause truble fr ur schl.
Yurs,

Many schls acrss the U.S. hld graduatin ceremnies this time f year. In sme schls, even five- and six-year-lds bserve their graduatin frm kindergarten. Meanwhile, sme much lder peple are graduating t. Meet 70-year-ld Jerry Reid, wh just graduated frm the University f Virginia. He earned a bachelr’s degree.
Mr. Reid might nt lk like the average cllege student; his hair is definitely grayer. But still, his age is easy t frget. Other cllege peers knw him as ne f their wn. He jined a men’s grup n campus. He sang sngs alng with many ther students. Mr. Reid’s schl friends say they can talk t him just abut anything.
Abut a half century ag, in his twenties, Mr. Reid was nt in schl. Instead, he was racing cars and chasing girls. But he says his friend Bill invited him t parties held in universities. “Bill tld me what a terrible life I had unless I came up here and went t schl with him,” said Reid. That was in 1963. Mr. Reid says it tk him 48 years t take that advice. In 2011, he entered cllege. His prfessr, Luke Wright, says Mr. Reid influences students. He pened the minds f the yung adults and shwed them that life des nt end at 40. Instead, the 70-year-ld cllege graduate believes that getting lder can be the beginning f a dream.
“Remember that the path yu left waits fr yu. It’s there. It’s yurs. All yu must d is t get ut f yur wn way and get back t it. And that’s exactly what I did,” said Mr. Reid. He says that he and his wife Susan wuld take sme time ff nw t enjy his cllege degree. Then, he’ll cntinue his studies fr his graduate degree.
(Nw listen again.)

Questins 14 thrugh 16 are based n the fllwing passage.
Every day, the alarm clck annunces the start f anther busy weekday in the mrning. We jump ut f bed, rush int the shwer, int ur clthes and ut the dr with hardly a mment t think.
The way mst f us spend ur mrnings is exactly ppsite t the cnditins that prmte flexible, pen-minded thinking. Imaginative ideas are mst likely t cme t us when we’re unfcused. The stress slws dwn the speed with which signals travel between neurns, making inspiratin less likely t ccur. And while we all shuld read a lt abut what’s ging n in the wrld, it wuld nt make us feel gd fr sure, s put that news website r newspaper aside until after the day’s wrk is dne.
S what wuld ur mrnings lk like if we wanted t fully prepare urselves fr creative prblem-slving? We’d set the alarm a few minutes early and lie awake in bed, fllwing ur thughts where they lead. We’d stand a little lnger under the warm water f the shwer, stpping thinking abut tasks in favr f a few mre minutes f relaxatin. We’d take sme deep breaths n ur way t wrk, instead f cmplaining abut heavy traffic. And nce in the ffice — after we get a cup f cffee—we’d click n links nt t the news f the day but t the funniest vides the internet has t ffer.

M: We’ll talk abut smething that freigners always say when they visit Britain. It’s “Why are the British s cld?” And they’re talking abut the British persnality—the famus British “reserve.” It means that we aren’t very friendly, we aren’t very pen.
W: S d yu think it’s true?
M: It’s a difficult ne. S many peple wh visit Britain say it’s difficult t make friends with British peple. They say we’re cld, reserved, unfriendly ...
W: I think it’s true. Lk at Americans r Australians. They speak the same language, but they’re much mre pen. And yu see it when yu travel. Peple—I mean strangers—speak t yu n the street r n the train. British peple seldm speak n the train. Or the bus. Nt in Lndn, anyway.
M: “Nt in Lndn.” That’s it. Capital cities are full f turists and are never very friendly. Peple are different in ther parts f the cuntry.
W: Nt cmpletely. I met a wman nce, an Italian. She’s been wrking in Manchester fr tw years, and n ne—nt ne f her clleagues—had ever invited her t their hme. They were friendly t her at wrk, but nthing else. She culdn’t believe it. She said that wuld never happen in Italy.
M: Yu knw what they say—“an Englishman’s hme is his castle.” It’s really difficult t get inside.
W: Yeah. It’s abut being private. Yu g hme t yur huse and yur garden and yu clse the dr. It’s yur place.
