The first view cmes frm Rland Barthes. Mst ften, his mviegers dn’t g t the mvies fr a distinct purpse. 27 . They are bred. Once they get inside, they can’t help but sink int a relaxed state. When they leave the mvie theater, these mviegers dn’t want t talk t anyne abut the mvie. 28 . Barthes sees them as a lnely being, ne wh is intrspective (自省的). I think sme f us use mvie theaters t retreat inside urselves.
The secnd view cmes frm the Clark Theater manager, Bruce Trinz. When peple g t the mvies they g fr a certain persnal mtive. They may want t frget smething, r escape frm the lives they are leading. Or they may want t see a film they liked years ag. 29 , they are the hpeless addicts wh, quite simply, like mvies.

（2024·浙江绍兴·模拟预测）Teamwrk Dubles the Strength
Admittedly, teamwrk is literally imprtant fr any class r team t achieve its gals and bjectives. Let me give three reasns why it is advantageus.
As individuals, we pssess diverse talents, strengths, weaknesses and experiences. A team is just like a tapestry (织锦) that weaves what each f us pssesses, resulting in an end prduct that is diverse yet hmgenus (同种类的). As team members exchange thughts and experiences, there can be mre efficiency and effectiveness at prblem-slving. This pling f talents can als lead t greater innvatin and success. 31 . It wn the Premier League in 2016, t the utter disbelief f many sccer fans. Leicester City, previusly regarded as the underdg f the League, displayed extremely impressive teamwrk, which led t its unbelievable victry in sccer histry.
Next, teamwrk means members share the wrklad. When wrk is distributed and each f us in a team specializes in specific tasks, the stress n each f us is reduced and the cmpletin f tasks befre deadline is ensured: 32 .
33 . Team members learn frm mre experienced members wh may ffer deeper insights and perspectives. Newer members may als cntribute new ideas. Besides encuraging the sharing f knwledge and experiences, teamwrk als develps sft skills like cmmunicatin and interpersnal skills. 34 .
Sme may think that wrking in islatin (单独) is mre efficient since mre time is taken when cperating with thers. Fr mre talented individuals, wrking alne means being the star f a prject. 35 . But, the lss f synergy (协同作用) that nly team effrt can generate may als prevent the team frm reaching its full ptential.
A．Take Leicester City fr example
B．Thus we can expect greater jb satisfactin
C．Team members can als be divided in pinins
D．They dn’t need t share the success with thers
E．Let’s nt wave away the chance t wrk in teams
F．And finally wrking in a team multiplies learning pprtunities
G．We learn t respect differences in wrking styles and pinins, and develp trust
（2024·浙江金华·二模）I am always cnfused when reading statements like “Princetn University is the number ne cllege in the United States.” Are thse wh attend Princetn inherently brighter than their peers? 36 Or is Princetn the best acrss all academic subjects verall?
I didn’t care abut cllege rankings fr years until I recently saw smething different. This past Octber, Shanghai Ranking Cnsultancy unveiled the Glbal Ranking f Academic Subjects 2023, which assesses universities wrldwide acrss 55 subjects in five disciplines. 37 And this makes it easier fr prspective students t chse the best cllege fr their specific subject.
38 When I delved deeper int the methdlgy behind these rankings, I discvered a cmplex web f criteria, including academic reputatin, research utput, and internatinal cllabratin. 39 Hwever, they d nt capture the entirety f the cllege experience. Factrs like campus culture, extracurricular pprtunities, and faculty-student interactins can prfundly shape yur undergraduate years, yet they ften remain unquantifiable in ranking systems.
40 What may be the ideal envirnment fr ne student pursuing engineering might nt suit anther studying literature. It’s crucial t cnsider yur persnal preferences, career aspiratins, and learning style when evaluating ptential clleges. While prestigius universities may ffer unparalleled resurces and netwrking pprtunities, a smaller, lesser-knwn cllege might prvide a mre nurturing and supprtive envirnment fr yur individual grwth and develpment. Ultimately, the best cllege fr yu is the ne that aligns with yur values, ambitins, and visin fr the future.
A．The value f a university educatin ges beynd its ranking.
B．Is Princetn the mst beautiful campus all arund the wrld?
C．Is Princetn able t prduce mre geniuses upn graduatin?
D．That being said, hw much weight shuld be given t these rankings?
E．Actually, the cncept f a “best” cllege is subjective and cntext-dependent.
F．These measures prvide valuable insights int the academic strength f universities.
G．It is said t emply a mre in-depth apprach t evaluate the perfrmance f universities.
（2024·浙江绍兴·二模）Hw t Build a Habit
Building gd habits takes tremendus effrt and insight. 41 Here are sme research-backed steps that can set yu n the path frm where yu are t where yu want t be.
Set a specific gal
The way yu define the gal yu hpe t turn int a habit des matter. Gals such as “meditate regularly” are t abstract, research has shwn. 42 Dn’t say “I’ll meditate regularly.” Say, “I’ll mediate fr 15 minutes each day.” Having a bite-size bjective makes it easier t get started and easier t see yur prgress.
Create a detailed, cue-based plan
Scientists have prven that yu’ll make mre prgress tward yur gal if yu decide nt just what yu’ll d, but when yu’ll be cued t d it, as well as where yu’ll d it and hw yu’ll get there. A plan like “I’ll study Spanish fr 30 minutes, five days a week” is OK. But a detailed, cue-based plan like “Every wrkday after my last meeting, I’ll spend 30 minutes studying Spanish in my ffice” is much mre likely t stick as a habit. 43 Because the when and where in yur plan will serve as cues t actin that jg yur memry.
44
When we set ut t build a new habit, mst f us verestimate ur willpwer and set a curse fr the mst efficient path t achieving ur end gal. But research has shwn yu’ll persist lnger and ultimately achieve mre if yu instead fcus n finding ways t make gal pursuit fun.
Fster flexibility
45 But when yu’re in the start-up phase f habit building, it’s imprtant t insert sme variability deliberately int yur rutine. A flexible habit means yu can still d what yu need t even when a wrench is thrwn in yur first best plans— say, a traffic jam n the way t drpping the kids ff at schl that gets in the way f yur mrning meditatin.
A．Make it fun t repeat.
B．Find the right kind f scial supprt.
C．We frequently repeat ur behavirs, frming habits at ur wn speed.
D．Making this kind f plan reduces the chances yu’ll frget t fllw thrugh.
E．By the time we put a behavir n autpilt, a lt f us fall int fairly cnsistent rutines.
F．Yu’ll benefit frm being mre specific abut what exactly yu aim t d and hw ften.
G．Thankfully, science ffers bth guidance n hw t begin and strategies t lighten yur lift.

In terms f the benefits, learning new techniques that yu can bring int the wrkplace can make yu mre f an authrity in yur area and a g-t persn fr advice. 48 In shrt, studying mre culd make yu mre prmtable dwn the line and mre helpful t the business.
If yu study in a classrm, yur experience f the wrkplace culd bring a wealth f knwledge t ther students and prvide real-life examples fr yu t draw n. Yu may als meet like-minded peple. 49 In additin, while adult learners have t cnsider things like children, hme lives and wrk，many adult and part-time curses are mre flexible. Sme curses can even be dne partly r entirely nline, which means yu can manage yur time mre easily and dn't need t factr in travel time.
50 Increasing yur skills may pen up new careers in yur prfessinal life.
A．Studying part-time in the evenings can be a great chice.
B．S, what are the benefits f hitting the bks nce in wrk?
C．Then yu can expand yur prfessinal netwrk in the future.
D．They may chse adult curses spreading ver a number f years.
E．If the business has a skills shrtage, yu may be able t fill that gap.
F．Having dne the same jb fr years, sme feel like acquiring new skills.

（2024·浙江·二模）We’ve all experienced the sense f unease that the end f a hliday weekend ften brings. 51 Mnday mrning after a hliday weekend represents a psychlgical shift frm freedm and relaxatin t pressure and bligatins.

G．It’s all abut mentally preparing yurself, setting gals, and visualizing the week ahead.
（2024·浙江宁波·二模）The slutin t any despair might be hpe, experts say. It’s believing in a brighter future and acting twards it. 56 Here are strategies that can help cultivate hpe. As Hellman, an assistant prfessr f psychlgy at Sufflk University in Bstn, pints ut, “Hpe begets hpe, and it has such a significant prtective factr.”
57 Make it a pint t always be wrking tward at least ne gal that’s meaningful, Hellman advises. In ther wrds, it shuldn’t be smething yu have t d but smething yu want t d. “Gals can be anything that’s imprtant t us,” he says.
Brainstrm slutins. If yu’ve set a gal that’s meaningful t yu, but yu can’t figure ut a way t achieve it, yu’ll prbably feel pretty hpeless. Peple wh are high in hpe, meanwhile, tend t generate lts f ways. 58 If yu’re struggling t make a plan, Hellman suggests sitting dwn with a pen and paper and giving yurself an hur t brainstrm slutins.
Seek ut success stries. It’s said that peple cultivate hpe by seeking supprt frm their parents and specific teachers. But they als gt a lt ut f learning abut ther peple wh have dne well fr themselves. Hellman says, “ 59 ”
Tap int yur imaginatin. Hellman thinks f imaginatin as “the instrument f hpe”. Let’s say yu set a gal fr the week. Spend a few minutes reflecting n r talking abut what wuld happen if yu achieved it. “Hw des it impact yu, r hw wuld it benefit thers?” he says. “ 60 And when yu can see yurself in the future, that is the very essence f hpe.”
A．D smething meaningful.
B．It can be taught and nurtured.
C．Think in a gal-riented way.
D．With these gd examples, peple are bund t be successful.
E．S, if ne desn’t wrk ut, they have an alternative at the ready.
F．By seeing ther peple succeed, they feel like they culd succeed.
G．Yu and I have this wnderful capacity t play a mvie in ur head.
（2024·浙江台州·二模）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). 61 In time, they are terrified f getting things wrng and risking failure. Creativity is n lnger advcated and is even viewed as a sft skill, r even a weakness.
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. 62 Due t limited educatinal resurces and assessment pressures, teenagers’ thinking becmes increasingly narrw, leaving them afraid t explre ther pssibilities.
63 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.
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. 64 There is n right way t live a life. 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. 65
Yung peple need reminding that their stries haven’t been written. They need pprtunities t try new things. They need permissin t keep asking “what else is pssible?” because anything is.
A．But in schls, it is different.
B．Being creative isn’t a magical skill.
C．It allws us t understand their feelings better.
D．They knw it is a safe way t get gd grades.
E．The main prblem is hw t keep thse creative juices flwing.
F．Life is lng enugh t try many things, and t change directins.
