21、Have you ever gazed at a test question and wondered where on earth it came from? You’re just certain the teacher has never covered the information, because it isn’t in your notes. 【1】 And furthermore, they got the question right.

【2】 It is a common frustration. Very few people can write fast enough or can concentrate long enough to record everything the teacher says.

As you can imagine, college lectures can be much longer and more detailed than the lectures you receive in high school. For this reason, many college students deal with the potential problem of missing critical information by developing a personalized form of shorthand (速记).

【3】 You don’t have to learn a squiggly-line (潦草书写的) language. You simply come up with a set of symbols or abbreviations (缩写) for common words that you find in lectures.

Developing shortcuts in your writing is not a new idea, of course. The trick is to develop a good system and to do it well. 【4】 Try these tips:

★Develop a list of the most commonly used words and make shortcuts for them.

★Practice your course-specific shorthand at the beginning of the term when your text is still new and you’ re curious and excited about the information. Find a few interesting passages and practice writing them in shorthand

★If possible, find a study partner to read the passages to you. 【5】

★ Time yourself for each passage you practice. Pretty soon you’ll start to build up speed.

A．To do that, you have to practice.

B．Find the common terms for the passage.

C．We miss things when we take class notes

D．Look through the textbooks for each course

E．That sounds much more complicated than it really is.

F．You can get the real experience of taking notes during a lecture in this way

G．Then, you discover that some of your classmates did record the information in their notes

22、   It hurts to keep secrets. Secrecy (保密) is associated with lower well-being, worse health, and less satisfying relationships. Research has linked secrecy to increased anxiety, depression, symptoms of poor health, and even the more rapid progression of disease. There is a seemingly obvious explanation for these harms: hiding secrets is hard work. You have to watch what you say.

New research, however, suggests that the harm of secrets doesn’t really come from the hiding after all. The real problem with keeping a secret is not that you have to hide it, but that you have to live with it, and think about it.

To better understand the harms of secrecy, researchers first set out to understand what secrets people keep, and how often they keep them. They found that 97% of people have at least one secret at any given moment, and people have, on average, 13 secrets.

Across several studies, researchers asked participants to estimate how frequently they hid their secret during conversations with others, and also how frequently they thought about the secret outside of social interactions. They found that the more frequently people simply thought about their secrets, the lower their well-being.

Following up this research, a new paper reveals why thinking about secrets is so harmful. Turning the question around, the consequences of telling secrets are examined. Researchers found that when a person reveals a secret to a third party, it does not reduce how often they have to hide the secret from others who are still kept in the dark. Rather, it reduces how often their mind wanders toward the secret in irrelevant moments.

Therefore, if you choose to still keep something secret, talking to another person can make the world of difference. Secrets don’t have to hurt as much as they do.

【1】Which is not one of the harms of keeping secrets?

A. Being physically sick. B. Mental problems.

C. Harmed relationships. D. Hiding somewhere.

【2】Why is keeping secrets so harmful?

A. Because you must hide them.

B. Because you often think about them.

C. Because it’s difficult to keep secrets.

D. Because you must watch what to say.

【3】How can people reduce the harm of keeping secrets?

A. By working hard. B. By keeping 13 secrets.

C. By thinking about the secrets. D. By telling secrets to a third person.

【4】Which is the text probably taken from?

A. An advertisement B. A research report

C. A biology textbook. D. A travel brochure.

23、How to React to Upsetting Posts Online

It’s pretty common for upsetting and disturbing posts and videos to spread online. 【1】 There are plenty of ways you can respond and engage with this kind of content- in any case, taking care of your mental health is especially important.

Suspend before you share or reply. Misinformation can be really emotionally triggering (触发). 【2】 Even if you have a strong reaction to something you see online, slow down and take some time to analyze the content before you share it or respond.

Fact-check the information. Misinformation is often designed to look appealing and accurate, so it can be tempting to trust the content you see in a high-quality graphic or post. That makes it especially important to fact-check the information. 【3】

Craft an informed reply if you think you can make a positive change. Some posts, however upsetting, come from a place of genuine ignorance. 【4】 Don’t feel like you have to fight every battle-if you feel like there are more effective ways to make a difference than potentially inviting an online fight, it’s okay to conduct those instead.

【5】 It can be hard to set your own opinions and emotions aside when you see a really upsetting post online. If you feel up to it, try being the bigger person and really listening to what the poster has to say even if their content is worded in a harmful way. Write out a response that addresses those negative feelings instead of the post itself.

A．It’s necessary to make a positive reply.

B．Avoid sharing any posts with misinformation.

C．You may be wondering how you can handle them.

D．Write a sympathetic reply so the poster feels heard.

E．You might see posts that make you feel mad, sad, or frightened.

F．Look into the source, the website, the author and the publication date.

G．If that’s the case, write a response that clarifies the claims being presented.

24、Even people who tend to think conventionally, such as accountants, can be creative, a recent study suggests, if they can look at emotional situations in a different light. In a set of experiments, researchers found that conventional thinkers came up with more creative ideas than peers after they practised “emotional reappraisal”. This means viewing a situation through another emotional lens, such as trying to see an anger-inducing event as one that is neutral or hopeful.

The study indicates that creativity is something that can be trained.“Whenever we break away from our existing perspective and try to think about something that’s different from our initial reaction, there’s a creative element to it. If we can practise or train that flexible-thinking muscle, it may help us be more creative over time,”said lead author Lily Zhu, an assistant professor at Washington State University.

For the study, Zhu and her colleagues conducted two similar experiments. In the first experiment with 335 people recruited through a crowdsourcing platform, the participants were first ranked on their openness levels and then shown a film scene designed to elicit (引起) anger. While viewing, they were given different instructions: to suppress their emotions, to think about something else to distract themselves or to try emotional reappraisal—looking at the scene through another lens. Some were also given no instruction on how to regulate their feelings.

After viewing the film, the participants were asked to come up with an idea to use an empty space in their building. Those ideas were then evaluated by a panel of experts who did not know anything about the participants. Ideas such as using the space for “napping capsules” were considered highly creative whereas ideas like opening a similar cafeteria as before were considered low in creativity.

The next experiment had a different group of 177 participants write about an experience that made them angry. They were then tasked with either writing about it again from a different emotional perspective or writing about something else as a distraction.

In both experiments, conventional thinking participants who tried emotional reappraisal came up with more creative ideas than other conventional thinkers who used suppression, distraction or no emotional regulation strategy at all. Notably, for participants who were considered creative thinkers to begin with, emotional reappraisal did not seem to have much effect on their creativity.

As to the implications of the study, Zhu suggested that supervisors in workplace should develop trainings to cultivate creative thinking skills in employees. Individuals can also practise emotional reappraisal when confronted with a crisis or challenge instead of suppressing negative emotions.

【1】Which of the following is most probably an example of emotional reappraisal?

A．Considering an occurrence objectively.

B．Taking one’s success as an opportunity.

C．Distracting oneself from an annoying event.

D．Regarding disappointment as a turning point.

【2】From the study, we know that ________.

A．creative thinkers’ creativity was enhanced after practising emotional reappraisal

B．evaluating experts had adequate information about the research subjects

C．the research findings could be applied to the training of employees

D．the first experiment aimed to select the most creative design

【3】Which would be the best title for the passage?

A．Change Feelings to Boost Creativity

B．Effective Strategies to Manage Emotions

C．Think Over to Explore Creative Potential

D．A New Way to Remove Negative Emotions

25、Oleita, a 26-year-old environmentalist from Detroit, thinks she may have a partial solution for two problems: garbage and poverty. It’s called the Chip Bag Project. She is encouraging snack lovers to donate their _________ chip bags rather than throw them away, so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.

The idea came to Oleita two years ago when she came across a woman in England_________ viewers how to put chip bags together to make sleeping bags on Facebook. _________, she decided to use that video as a blueprint to start the Chip Bag Project.

Oleita and her volunteers get chip bags of all brands and sizes. After cleaning them in soapy hot water, they _________ them open, lay them flat and iron them together. They use the material from old coats to _________ the insides. Each sleeping bag requires 150 chip bags and takes around four hours to complete.

Since 2020, the project has _________ more than 800, 000 chip bags and, as of last December, created 110 sleeping bags. Sure, it would be simpler to _________ money to buy new sleeping bags. But that’s not enough. “We are committed to providing _________ for those in need, making an impact not only socially, but environmentally, ” Oleita says.

And, of course, there’s the symbolism of recycling bags that would _________ land in the trash and using them to help the homeless. It’s a powerful reminder that pollution and poverty often go hand in hand. As Oleita said, “I think it’s time to show__________ between all of these issues. ”

26、阅读下面材料.根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文.

One Sunday. Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home. A fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it. Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn't have food, water, a phone or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.

Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried to calm down. He thought about all the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.

He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed where he was. The first thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow. If he didn't, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him.

Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could. By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn't lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could — he huddled in his cave and slept.

Paragraph l.

The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2.

Nicholas might not have survived the snowstorm if he hadn't watched Grylls' survival show Man vs. Wild.
