In the early 19th century, New England farmers, tired f wrestling with their pr land, jurneyed t the Midwest. In states like Illinis and Iwa, they fund rich, black sil. Unfrtunately, many sn felt like thirsty sailrs in the middle f the cean—water everywhere but nt a drp t drink. They were surrunded by fertile sil, but had t stp every few secnds t remve the sticky dirt ff their irn plws (犁) with large wden paddles. This dilemma caught the attentin f Jhn Deere, a blacksmith wh mved t Illinis in 1836.
Deere decided t lk int the prblem. Frm his previus wrk n plws, he knew that dirt was less likely t stick t highly plished metal. That thught was in the back f his mind when he visited a sawmill (鋸木廠) in 1837 and nticed a brken saw made f steel. Deere brught it hme and began making a better plw. The plw he wanted wuld have t cut deep int the sil at a sharp angle s that dirt wuld fall ff, yet it culd nt put t much burden n the hrses pulling it. After several experiments, Deere cnstructed a new plw that featured wd handles. It prved a success. Unlike the ld irn plws, Deere’s nt nly had a blade frm which dirt fell away cleanly, but it als turned the sil mre efficiently and quickly.
Demand fr Deere’s plws increased sharply, but prductin was limited by the shrtage f plished steel. Initially, Deere culd nly prduce a few plws each year. Hwever, Deere’s persistence paid ff as he surced cheaper steel frm Pittsburgh. Amazingly, in 1857, his cmpany manufactured and sld 10, 000 plws!
Deere, a perfectinist, cntinually imprved his plws, intrducing multiple new versins in a single year. While this slwed dwn his prductin ability, it ensured Deere a slid reputatin amng his custmers. Deere plws became wrld famus in the 1870s when they utshne the cmpetitin in a demnstratin in France. That same decade, his cmpany built its first riding plw and designed the leaping deer as its trademark.
4. What was the main prblem the newly settled farmers met?
A. A shrtage f fresh water.B. A lack f rich farming land.
C. The truble in handling the sil n plws.D. The difficulty f grwing plants in seasn.

Five times strnger than steel, spider silk’s unique qualities were recgnized by the Ancient Greeks—and mre recently, scientists have lked at applicatins frm medicine t engineering. Nw, a Japanese startup, Spiber, has begun t change the textile industry with this remarkable material.
The cmpany started by making a substitute in the lab that is similar t spider silk in structure. After studying thusands f different spider species and ther silk-prducing life frms, Spiber successfully prduced an alternative t spider silk. This breakthrugh was achieved by fermenting (發(fā)酵) a mixture f water, sugar, and nutrients with special micrbes t prduce prtein plymers (聚合物). These plymers are then made int fibers, paving the way fr a range f innvative fabrics.
Hwever, shifting frm lab t practical applicatin presented challenges. In 2015, Spiber partnered with The Nrth Face Japan t prduce a limited-editin run f 50 “Mn Parka” jackets t celebrate the 50th anniversary f the mn landings. But during the design prcess, the team discvered that spider silk became smaller when expsed t water, and had t transfrm the prtein t make the fiber suitable fr an utdr jacket, which tk them fur years t perfect.
Currently, the cmpany uses sugarcane and crn fr its fermentatin prcess—crps that use large vlumes f land and change fd resurces. T reduce its envirnmental impact, Spiber is develping a prcess called “bisphere circulatin” that will transfrm deserted clthes made frm natural materials like cttn int the sugars needed fr fermentatin.
With apprximately 100 billin yen ($783 millin) in funding, Spiber plans t significantly speed up its prductin f prtein plymers by the end f 2025. “Mass prductin will help bring the price f fibers dwn and allw Spiber t expand beynd the high-end designer market and thus we have the means t create slutins t enable mre circular fashin,” says Higashi, head f business develpment at Spiber. “It’s ur missin t bring thse slutins t the wrld.”
8. What breakthrugh did Spiber achieve in the early research?
A. It mixed varius prtein plymers.B. It prduced a silk making machine.
C. It identified different spider species.D. It created a replacement fr spider silk.
9. What was the challenge in making the “Mn Parka” jackets?
A. High design csts.B. Spider silk’s sensitivity t water.
C. Limited raw materials.D. The partner’s unwillingness t help.
10. What can we knw abut Spiber’s “bisphere circulatin” prcess?
A. It will replace the current fermentatin prcess.
B. It will use recycled materials fr needed sugars.
C. It will prmte the develpment f fd industry.
D. It will simplify the prcedure f clthing prductin.
11. What is Spiber’s plan?
A. T raise mre mney fr mass prductin.B. T increase the utput f prtein plymers.
C. T wrk with ther high-end fashin brands.D. T develp a wider range f expensive fibers.

When instant cake mixes first appeared in the 1950s, American husewives were dubtful. These mixes, prmising easy cake-baking, felt t easy. The manufacturers discvered that requiring the additin f an egg in the baking prcess was just enugh t make the husewives happy with their wrk. The greater sense f effrt gained frm a little extra labr is believed t have been essential t the later success f the cake mix.
This reflects the IKEA effect (宜家效應(yīng)), which is identified by psychlgist Michael I. Nrtn and his clleagues, suggesting we place greater value n things we have wrked t create. They cnducted fur studies in which they asked participants t fld paper cranes and frgs, assemble IKEA bxes, and build sets f Legs. They then asked the builders t bid (出價(jià)) fr their creatins, and cmpared the prices with bids frm peple wh hadn’t built them. The builders cnsistently utbid the nn-builders.
Interestingly, the IKEA effect wrks even when peple have n pprtunity t fully persnalize their creatins. While mst participants’ flding skills left much t be desired, they lved their imperfectly persnalized prducts all the mre.

【解析】
【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文是說(shuō)明文。本文通過(guò)討論宜家效應(yīng)以及幾個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)研究的結(jié)果,論述了人們更加珍視自己親手創(chuàng)造的東西,并由此引發(fā)了對(duì)自我建造住房的好處的思考。
【12題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“The manufacturers discvered that requiring the additin f an egg in the baking prcess was just enugh t make the husewives happy with their wrk. The greater sense f effrt gained frm a little extra labr is believed t have been essential t the later success f the cake mix.(制造商發(fā)現(xiàn),在烘焙過(guò)程中加入一個(gè)雞蛋就足以讓主婦們對(duì)自己的工作感到滿意。從一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)額外的勞動(dòng)中獲得的更大的努力感被認(rèn)為是蛋糕粉后來(lái)成功的關(guān)鍵)”可知,額外的努力給顧客帶來(lái)了蛋糕烘焙的樂(lè)趣。故選D項(xiàng)。
【13題詳解】
詞句猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)前文“Interestingly, the IKEA effect wrks even when peple have n pprtunity t fully persnalize their creatins. While mst participants’ flding skills left much t be desired, they lved their imperfectly persnalized prducts all the mre. Builders valued their wrinkled crane-like creatins nearly five times as much as nn-builders.(有趣的是,即使人們沒(méi)有機(jī)會(huì)完全個(gè)性化他們的作品,宜家效應(yīng)也會(huì)起作用。雖然大多數(shù)參與者的折疊技巧還有很多不足之處,但他們更喜歡自己不完美的個(gè)性化產(chǎn)品。建筑商對(duì)他們皺巴巴的像起重機(jī)一樣的創(chuàng)造物的估價(jià)幾乎是非建筑商的五倍)”可知,本段主要講述額外的勞動(dòng)會(huì)讓參與者更喜歡自己的作品,所以Beauty, it seems, is in the eye f the builder.意為“額外的勞動(dòng)增加了感知價(jià)值”。故選B項(xiàng)。
【14題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段““The mment peple are invlved with their built envirnment, they have a ttally different relatinship t it,” WikiHuse c-funder Alastair Parvin explained. “When the rf starts leaking r a dr starts creaking, they have the pwer t fix it themselves.”(WikiHuse的聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人Alastair Parvin解釋說(shuō):“當(dāng)人們參與到他們的建筑環(huán)境中時(shí),他們與環(huán)境的關(guān)系就完全不同了。”“當(dāng)屋頂開(kāi)始漏水或門開(kāi)始吱吱作響時(shí),他們有能力自己修理?!?”可知,Alastair Parvin認(rèn)為公眾參與住房建設(shè),他們與環(huán)境的關(guān)系就完全不同了,所以是持支持的態(tài)度。故選D項(xiàng)。
【15題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“This reflects the IKEA effect (宜家效應(yīng)), which is identified by psychlgist Michael I. Nrtn and his clleagues, suggesting we place greater value n things we have wrked t create. They cnducted fur studies in which they asked participants t fld paper cranes and frgs, assemble IKEA bxes, and build sets f Legs. They then asked the builders t bid (出價(jià)) fr their creatins, and cmpared the prices with bids frm peple wh hadn’t built them. The builders cnsistently utbid the nn-builders.(這反映了心理學(xué)家邁克爾·i·諾頓(Michael I. Nrtn)及其同事發(fā)現(xiàn)的宜家效應(yīng)(IKEA effect),即我們更看重自己努力創(chuàng)造的東西。他們進(jìn)行了四項(xiàng)研究,要求參與者折疊紙鶴和青蛙,組裝宜家盒子,搭建樂(lè)高積木。然后,他們要求建筑商為他們的作品出價(jià),并將價(jià)格與沒(méi)有建造這些作品的人的出價(jià)進(jìn)行比較。建筑商的出價(jià)始終高于非建筑商)”以及縱觀全文可知,本文主要解釋什么是宜家效應(yīng)(IKEA effect),所以本文的目的是解釋一個(gè)概念。故選C項(xiàng)。

【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文是說(shuō)明文。文章主要討論了青少年創(chuàng)造力缺失的問(wèn)題,分析了其背后的原因,并提出了如何幫助青少年培養(yǎng)創(chuàng)造力的建議。
【16題詳解】
根據(jù)前文“I run a lt f writing wrkshps in secndary schls and what I ften see is this: teenagers in class just lk at the blank page and freeze. Even when I assure them they can’t get it wrng in creative writing, they still pause and feel painful, lking t me fr clear and definite instructins. This behavir results frm their training t mimic (模仿). (我在中學(xué)舉辦了很多寫作研討會(huì),我經(jīng)??吹竭@樣的情況:青少年在課堂上只是看著空白頁(yè),然后僵住了。即使我向他們保證,他們?cè)趧?chuàng)意寫作中不會(huì)出錯(cuò),他們?nèi)匀粫?huì)停下來(lái),感到痛苦,向我尋求清晰明確的指導(dǎo)。這種行為源于它們的模仿訓(xùn)練。)”可知,D項(xiàng)“They knw it is a safe way t get gd grades. (他們知道這是獲得好成績(jī)的安全方法)”是對(duì)前文行為的進(jìn)一步解釋。故選D項(xiàng)。
【17題詳解】
根據(jù)前文“Hwever, creativity is highly valued by emplyers. Accrding t The Cnversatin, creativity has been the number-ne skill demanded by 20 millin jb ads n LinkedIn fr tw years in a rw. (然而,創(chuàng)造力受到雇主的高度重視。據(jù)The Cnversatin網(wǎng)站報(bào)道,連續(xù)兩年,在領(lǐng)英(LinkedIn)上的2000萬(wàn)個(gè)招聘廣告中,創(chuàng)造力一直是最需要的技能。)”以及后文“Due t limited educatinal resurces and assessment pressures, teenagers’ thinking becmes increasingly narrw, leaving them afraid t explre ther pssibilities. (由于有限的教育資源和考核壓力,青少年的思維變得越來(lái)越狹隘,使他們不敢探索其他的可能性。)”可知前文講述,工作中需要有創(chuàng)造力,后文講述由于有限的教育資源和考核壓力,青少年的思維變得越來(lái)越狹隘,所以前后文是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,A項(xiàng)“But in schls, it is different. (但在學(xué)校,情況就不同了。)”符合文意,和前文構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,引出后文。故選A項(xiàng)。
【18題詳解】
分析設(shè)空,位于段首,應(yīng)是本段的中心句,根據(jù)后文“It’s just an ability t make new cnnectins and fllw where they g. Actually, creativity requires qualities available t us all: curage, bservatin, curisity, flexibility and perseverance. (這只是一種建立新關(guān)系并跟隨他們前進(jìn)的能力。實(shí)際上,創(chuàng)造力需要我們所有人都具備的品質(zhì):勇氣、觀察力、好奇心、靈活性和毅力。)”可知,本段在介紹什么是創(chuàng)造力,所以B項(xiàng)“Being creative isn’t a magical skill. (創(chuàng)造力并不是一種神奇的技能。)”符合本段主題,為本段中心句。故選B項(xiàng)。
【19題詳解】
根據(jù)前文“S hw d we help teenagers be hpeful and brave? Firstly, we need t avid the idea that their entire futures depend n this very assignment r that decisin. (那么我們?nèi)绾螏椭嗌倌瓿錆M希望和勇敢呢?首先,我們需要避免這樣的想法,即他們的整個(gè)未來(lái)取決于這個(gè)任務(wù)或那個(gè)決定。)”以及后文“There is n right way t live a life. (沒(méi)有正確的生活方式。)”可知,此處在講述,沒(méi)有特定的方法幫助青少年充滿希望和勇敢,所以F項(xiàng)“Life is lng enugh t try many things, and t change directins. (生命足夠長(zhǎng),可以嘗試很多事情,也可以改變方向。)”承接上文,下文則是對(duì)本句的進(jìn)一步解釋。故選F項(xiàng)。
【20題詳解】
空處位于段尾,是對(duì)前文的總結(jié),根據(jù)前文“Secndly, let’s encurage inquiry. Children are naturally curius, but this curisity ften fades as they grw lder, althugh it still exists within them. Just because they lack answers desn’t mean they shuldn’t ask questins; rather, they shuld ask even mre.

(宇宙是由未解之謎和無(wú)限可能性組成的。)”符合此處主題,是對(duì)前文的總結(jié)。故選G項(xiàng)。

【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文是新聞報(bào)道。這篇文章詳細(xì)描述了Tang Yan如何放棄有前途事業(yè),投身于拯救瀕臨失傳的“北京絹人”藝術(shù),并詳細(xì)介紹了她在創(chuàng)業(yè)過(guò)程中所遇到的挑戰(zhàn)和困難,以及她如何通過(guò)創(chuàng)新和改良來(lái)降低成本,并最終成功創(chuàng)建了自己的“唐娃娃”品牌。
【36題詳解】
考查冠詞。句意:然后他們花了整整一年的時(shí)間制作了幾個(gè)小雕像,卻發(fā)現(xiàn)他們的產(chǎn)品沒(méi)有市場(chǎng)。year是可數(shù)名詞,句中用的單數(shù),空前應(yīng)用不定冠詞修飾表示“一”,entire為元音音素開(kāi)頭,用an修飾。故填an。
【37題詳解】
考查副詞。句意:由于材料珍貴,工藝復(fù)雜,一個(gè)小雕像的成本相當(dāng)于當(dāng)時(shí)很多人的年薪。空處修飾空前的動(dòng)詞,應(yīng)該用副詞修飾,basic的副詞形式是basically。故填basically。
【38題詳解】
考查動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)。句意:許多潛在客戶對(duì)我們產(chǎn)品的美麗感到驚訝,但他們的價(jià)格卻把他們趕走了。本句是but連接的并列句,drive作后句的謂語(yǔ),根據(jù)前文were amazed可知,用一般過(guò)去時(shí)。故填drve。
【39題詳解】
考查賓語(yǔ)從句。句意:第一次失敗教會(huì)了唐他們所需要的:找到降低生產(chǎn)成本的方法??仗幰龑?dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句,從句中缺少賓語(yǔ),且意義為“……的事物”,應(yīng)用what引導(dǎo)。故填what。
【40題詳解】
考查名詞。句意:她對(duì)傳統(tǒng)的小雕像做了許多有創(chuàng)意和大膽的改編,比如用機(jī)器給衣服上色??涨笆切稳菰~,所以空處應(yīng)填名詞作賓語(yǔ),adaptatin意為“改編本”,為可數(shù)名詞,根據(jù)前文的many可知,用復(fù)數(shù)形式。故填adaptatins。
【41題詳解】
考查形容詞。句意:這些措施把價(jià)格降到了原來(lái)的十分之一以下??蘸笫敲~,所以空處應(yīng)填形容詞作定語(yǔ),rigin的形容詞形式是riginal。故填riginal。
【42題詳解】
考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。句意:然而,為了給娃娃增添精致和工藝感,她保留了一些手工制作的發(fā)型和妝容。本句已有謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞preserved,所以lend用非謂語(yǔ)形式,根據(jù)句意,此處表目的,用不定式作目的狀語(yǔ)。故填t lend。
【43題詳解】
考查介詞。句意:經(jīng)過(guò)幾十年的全身心投入,唐現(xiàn)在經(jīng)營(yíng)著自己的北京絹人產(chǎn)品品牌“唐娃娃”。此處是固定搭配:devtin t意為“獻(xiàn)身于”。故填t。
【44題詳解】
考查動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)和語(yǔ)態(tài)。句意:當(dāng)我還小的時(shí)候,娃娃被稱為yangwawa,意思是西方娃娃。call作本句謂語(yǔ),和主語(yǔ)dlls之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系,用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài),根據(jù)前文的was,可知用一般過(guò)去時(shí)。故填were called。
【45題詳解】
考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。句意:我想制作與中國(guó)人有文化聯(lián)系的娃娃,以及具有豐富歷史內(nèi)涵的絹人。本句已有謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞wanted,所以bear用非謂語(yǔ)形式,和邏輯主語(yǔ)dll之間是主動(dòng)關(guān)系,用現(xiàn)在分詞形式作定語(yǔ)。故填bearing。

I std in the restaurant kitchen, my eyes wide, arms hanging awkwardly, ready t wrk but unsure f what t d. “Yu will be trained first,” my manager Aarn said, “and d remember t check every detail!” With these wrds, he walked away.
A wrkmate threw me a dish brush and said, “Let’s get started.” He intrduced me t the basics f washing dishes and demnstrated the prcess. This was the beginning f my part-time jb, a new stage where I was bth eager t learn and anxius abut the challenges ahead.
On a Friday night, Aarn swiftly entered the kitchen. “Wh has just bused (收拾) the back right table?” he shuted, his vice sharp with urgency. My hands, slippery with bubbles frm the bwl I was washing, nearly let it slip thrugh my fingers. I wanted t say I was guilty, but Aarn’s cld stare didn’t prmise a happy reward fr the guy wh admitted. Finally, a mix f fear and my wn cnscience pushed the respnse ut f my muth.
“I did, Aarn.”
“What were yu thinking? Get back ut here and lk at what yu missed!” His wrds frced me frward. I grabbed a rag (抹布) and fllwed him ut t table twenty-tw. As we made ur way thrugh the restaurant, he said smething abut rags, but I didn’t hear clearly with ther cnversatins ging n arund us.
I quickly realized the true issue was the mess beneath the table. A nearly full cup f beer had tipped ver, creating a small lake n the flr. It was a significant mistake n my part. “Take care f it!” Aarn tuned and strmed ff t the frnt f the restaurant.
I drpped dwn t clean up the beer. That was when anther prblem ccurred. I had brught nly ne rag. One already wet rag. It did nthing but increase the size f the lake. “Mre rags,” I thught. Immediately, I rushed int the kitchen and hurriedly grabbed five dry rags, hping Aarn wuldn’t ntice my brief absence.

【答案】
I had just rushed ut when I fund Aarn standing in my way. “What’s up” he asked sharply, his eyes fixed n me. Feeling the weight f my mistake, I stammered nervusly, “I need dry ” Upn hearing this, Aarn let ut a heavy sigh. “Yu shuld have checked every detail,” he remarked, a hint f disappintment in his vice. “This jb isn’t just abut reacting, it’s als abut being careful. Nw, g clean that up!” Aviding his gaze, I dashed twards table twenty-tw. With an ample supply f rags, I threw myself int the task, tirelessly mpping, scrubbing, and wiping.
After cleaning up the mess, I reflected n Aarn’s wrds. They were sharp but abslutely right. My inexperience and initial anxiety in this new jb had led me t verlk crucial details, and I shuld have been mre mindful f my wrk. Taking a deep breath, I returned t my duties, bearing Aarn’s wrds in mind. With very dish washed and every table cleared, I made sure t duble-check my wrk. Everything went well and sn I realized this carefulness wuld nt just apply t cleaning; it wuld influence every aspect f my jb, preparing me t embrace any challenge with respnsibility and cnfidence.
