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 (锯木厂) 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.
5．Which aspect f the new plw des paragraph 2 fcus n?
A.Its unique features.B.Its perating methd.
C.Its inventin prcess.D.Its wrking efficiency.
6．The last paragraph is mainly abut Deere plws’____.
A.wide recgnitinB.marketing strategy
C.technical standardsD.prductin challenges
7．Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A.A Famed FarmerB.A Successful Cmpany
C.A Sticky PrblemD.A Histrical Experiment
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 (发酵) 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 (宜家效应), 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 (出价) 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. Builders valued their wrinkled crane-like creatins nearly five times as much as nn-builders. Beauty, it seems, is in the eye f the builder.
Tday, as cities are suffering frm severe husing crises, the IKEA effect can give us insight int the well-being benefits f a self-building apprach t husing develpment. Prjects like WikiHuse and the “half-a-huse” apprach pineered by Alejandr Aravena’s architecture cmpany Elemental are wrking t make husing mre affrdable and sustainable by making it easier fr peple t build and persnalize their wn hmes.
“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.”
12．What brught custmers the jy f cake-baking accrding t paragraph 1?
A.A better taste.B.An easy apprach.
C.A detailed recipe.D.An additinal effrt.
13．What des the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 imply?
A.Creatins are based n skills.B.Extra labr increases perceived value.
C.Beauty is fund thrugh cntrast.D.Strict management brings gd quality.
14．What is Alastair Parvin’s attitude twards public invlvement in husing?
A.Critical.B.Objective.C.Dubtful.D.Supprtive.
15．What’s the purpse f this text?
A.T prmte a brand.B.T make a prpsal.
C.T explain a cncept.D.T intrduce a study.

This behavir results frm their training t mimic (模仿) . (我在中学举办了很多写作研讨会, 我经常看到这样的情况: 青少年在课堂上只是看着空白页, 然后僵住了。即使我向他们保证, 他们在创意写作中不会出错, 他们仍然会停下来, 感到痛苦, 向我寻求清晰明确的指导。这种行为源于它们的模仿训练。) 可知, D项"他们知道这是获得好成绩的安全方法"是对前文行为的进一步解释。故选D项。
②语境衔接题。根据前文Hwever, creativity is highly valued by emplyers. Accrding t The Cnversatin, creativity has been the numberne skill demanded by 20 millin jb ads n Linkedln fr tw years in a rw. (然而, 创造力受到雇主的高度重视。据The Cnversatin网站报道, 连续两年, 在领英(Linkedln)上的2000万个招聘广告中, 创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. (由于有限的教育资源和考核压力, 青少年的思维变得越来越狭隘, 使他们不敢探索其他的可能性。) 可知前文讲述, 工作中需要有创造力, 后文讲述由于有限的教育资源和考核压力, 青少年的思维变得越来越狭隘, 所以前后文是转折关系, A项"但在学校, 情况就不同了。"符合文意, 和前文构成转折关系,引出后文。故洗A项。
③段落大意题。根据后文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. (这只是一种建立新关系并跟随他们前进的能力。实际上,创造力需要我们所有人都具备的品质: 勇气、观察力、好奇心、灵活性和毅力。) 可知, 本段在介绍什么是创造力, 所以B项"创造力并不是一种神奇的技能。"符合本段主题, 为本段中心句。故选B项。
④语境衔接题。根据前文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. (那么我们如何帮助青少年充满希望和勇敢呢? 首先, 我们需要避免这样的想法, 即他们的整个未来取决于这个任务或那个决定。)以及后文There is n right way t live a life. (没有正确的生活方式。) 可知, 此处在讲述, 没有特定的方法帮助青少年充满希望和勇敢, 所以F项"生命足够长, 可以尝试很多事情, 也可以改变方向。"承接上文, 下文则是对本句的进一步解释。故选F项。
⑤联系上文题。根据前文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. (其次, 让我们鼓励询问。孩子们天生好奇, 但这种好奇心往往随着年龄的增长而消失, 尽管它仍然存在于他们心中。仅仅因为他们没有答案并不意味着他们不应该问问题; 相反, 他们应该要求更多。) 可知, 此处讲述鼓励孩子的好奇心, 所以G项“宇宙是由未解之谜和无限可能性组成的。”符合此处主题, 是对前文的总结。故选G项。

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 (锯木厂) 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?

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 (发酵) 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 (宜家效应), 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 (出价) 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. Builders valued their wrinkled crane-like creatins nearly five times as much as nn-builders. Beauty, it seems, is in the eye f the builder.
Tday, as cities are suffering frm severe husing crises, the IKEA effect can give us insight int the well-being benefits f a self-building apprach t husing develpment. Prjects like WikiHuse and the “half-a-huse” apprach pineered by Alejandr Aravena’s architecture cmpany Elemental are wrking t make husing mre affrdable and sustainable by making it easier fr peple t build and persnalize their wn hmes.
“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.”
12．What brught custmers the jy f cake-baking accrding t paragraph 1?
A.A better taste.B.An easy apprach.
C.A detailed recipe.D.An additinal effrt.
13．What des the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 imply?
A.Creatins are based n skills.B.Extra labr increases perceived value.
C.Beauty is fund thrugh cntrast.D.Strict management brings gd quality.
14．What is Alastair Parvin’s attitude twards public invlvement in husing?
A.Critical.B.Objective.C.Dubtful.D.Supprtive.
15．What’s the purpse f this text?
A.T prmte a brand.B.T make a prpsal.
C.T explain a cncept.D.T intrduce a study.

34． 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 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.

5．答案：C
解析：段落大意题。根据第二段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 (锯木厂) 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(迪尔决定调查这个问题。从他之前对犁的研究中, 他知道泥土不太可能粘在高度抛光的金属上。当他在1837年参观一家锯木厂时, 注意到一把断了的钢锯时, 这种想法就在他的脑海里。迪尔把它带回家, 开始制作更好的犁。他想要的犁必须以一个尖锐的角度深深地切入土壤, 这样泥土才能掉下来, 但它不能给拉它的马带来太大的负担。经过几次实验, 迪尔制造了一种以木柄为特色的新犁。它被证明是成功的。与老式的铁制犁不同, 迪尔的犁不仅有一个可以干净地清除泥土的刀片, 而且还能更有效、更迅速地翻土) 可知,本段关注的是新犁的发明过程。故选C。
6．答案：A

That same decade, his cmpany built its first riding plw and designed the leaping deer as its trademark(迪尔是个追求完美的人, 他不断改进自己的犁, 一年之内就推出了多个新版本。虽然这降低了他的生产能力, 但却确保了迪尔在客户中树立了良好的声誉。19世纪70年代, 迪尔的犁在法国的一次演示中脱颖而出, 从此名扬世界。在同一十年里, 他的公司制造了第一辆乘坐式犁,并设计了跳跃的鹿作为其商标) 可知, 本段主要讲述了迪尔犁获得广泛的认可。故选A。
7．答案：C
解析：标题判断题。通读全文, 特别是根据第一段的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 (他们周围都是肥沃的土壤, 但每隔几秒钟就得停下来, 用大木桨清除铁犁上的黏性泥土。这种困境引起了1836年搬到伊利诺斯州的铁匠约翰·迪尔的注意)可知, 本文讲述了19世纪初期, 新英格兰的农民遇到了土壤黏附铁犁的问题, 铁匠约翰・迪尔发明了一种新犁来解决这一难题, 所以C项A Sticky Prblem(棘手的问题) 可以反映文章的主题, 可以作为本文的标题。故选C。
8．答案：D

(但在设计过程中, 研究小组发现, 蜘蛛丝遇水会变小, 他们必须将蛋白质转化为适合户外夹克的纤维, 这花了他们四年的时间来完善) 可知, 制作"Mn Parka"的挑战是蜘蛛丝对水的敏感性。故选B。
10．答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段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. (为了减少对环境的影响, Spiber 正在开发一种名为“生物圈循环”的工艺, 将废弃的衣服 (由棉花等天然材料制成) 转化为发酵所需的糖) 可知, Spiber的“生物圈循环”过程, 将使用回收材料生产所需的糖。故选B。
11．答案：B

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 nnbuilders. (有趣的是, 即使人们没有机会完全个性化他们的作品, 宜家效应也会起作用。虽然大多数参与者的折叠技巧还有很多不足之处, 但他们更喜欢自己不完美的个性化产品。建筑商对他们皱巴巴的像起重机一样的创造物的估价几乎是非建筑商的五倍)可知, 划线句子Beauty, it seems, is in the eye f the builder.意为"额外的劳动增加了感知价值"。A. Creatins are based n skills. 创作基于技能; B.Extra labr increases perceived value. 额外劳动增加感知价值; C .Beauty is fund thrugh cntrast. 美是通过对比发现的; D.Strict management brings gd quality. 严格的管理带来良好的质量。故选B项。
14．答案：D
解析：观点态度题。根据最后一段"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的联合创始人Alastair Parvin解释说: "当人们参与到他们的建筑环境中时, 他们与环境的关系就完全不同了。""当屋顶开始漏水或门开始吱吱作响时, 他们有能力自己修理。") 可知, Alastair Parvin对公众参与住房建设是支持的。故选D项。
15．答案：C
解析：目的意图题。根据第二段This reflects the IKEA effect (宜家效应) , which is identified by psychlgist Michael I. Nrtn and his clleagues, suggesting we place greater value n things we have wrked t create.(这反映了心理学家迈克尔・ i·诺顿 (Michael I. Nrtn) 及其同事发现的宜家效应(IKEA effect),即我们更看重自己努力创造的东西。) 可知, 本文主要解释什么是宜家效应(IKEA effect), 所以本文的目的是解释一个概念。因此C.T explain a cncept. (解释一个概念。) 符合题意。故选C项。
16．答案：DABFG
解析：①联系上文题。根据前文। 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) . (我在中学举办了很多写作研讨会, 我经常看到这样的情况: 青少年在课堂上只是看着空白页, 然后僵住了。即使我向他们保证, 他们在创意写作中不会出错, 他们仍然会停下来, 感到痛苦, 向我寻求清晰明确的指导。这种行为源于它们的模仿训练。) 可知, D项"他们知道这是获得好成绩的安全方法"是对前文行为的进一步解释。故选D项。
②语境衔接题。根据前文Hwever, creativity is highly valued by emplyers. Accrding t The Cnversatin, creativity has been the numberne skill demanded by 20 millin jb ads n Linkedln fr tw years in a rw. (然而, 创造力受到雇主的高度重视。据The Cnversatin网站报道, 连续两年, 在领英(Linkedln)上的2000万个招聘广告中, 创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. (由于有限的教育资源和考核压力, 青少年的思维变得越来越狭隘, 使他们不敢探索其他的可能性。) 可知前文讲述, 工作中需要有创造力, 后文讲述由于有限的教育资源和考核压力, 青少年的思维变得越来越狭隘, 所以前后文是转折关系, A项"但在学校, 情况就不同了。"符合文意, 和前文构成转折关系,引出后文。故洗A项。
③段落大意题。根据后文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. (这只是一种建立新关系并跟随他们前进的能力。实际上,创造力需要我们所有人都具备的品质: 勇气、观察力、好奇心、灵活性和毅力。) 可知, 本段在介绍什么是创造力, 所以B项"创造力并不是一种神奇的技能。"符合本段主题, 为本段中心句。故选B项。
④语境衔接题。根据前文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. (那么我们如何帮助青少年充满希望和勇敢呢? 首先, 我们需要避免这样的想法, 即他们的整个未来取决于这个任务或那个决定。)以及后文There is n right way t live a life. (没有正确的生活方式。) 可知, 此处在讲述, 没有特定的方法帮助青少年充满希望和勇敢, 所以F项"生命足够长, 可以尝试很多事情, 也可以改变方向。"承接上文, 下文则是对本句的进一步解释。故选F项。
⑤联系上文题。根据前文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. (其次, 让我们鼓励询问。孩子们天生好奇, 但这种好奇心往往随着年龄的增长而消失, 尽管它仍然存在于他们心中。仅仅因为他们没有答案并不意味着他们不应该问问题; 相反, 他们应该要求更多。) 可知, 此处讲述鼓励孩子的好奇心, 所以G项“宇宙是由未解之谜和无限可能性组成的。”符合此处主题, 是对前文的总结。故选G项。

32．答案：an; basically; drve; what; adaptatins; riginal; t lend; t; were called; bearing
解析：①考查冠词。句意:然后他们花了整整一年的时间制作了几个小雕像, 却发现他们的产品没有市场。year是可数名词, 句中用的单数, 空前应用不定冠词泛指一个, entire为元音音素开头的, 所以用an修饰。故填an。
②考查副词。句意:由于材料珍贵,工艺复杂, 一个小雕像的成本相当于当时很多人的年薪。空处修饰空前的动词, 应该用副词修饰。故填 basically。
③考查动词时态。句意: 许多潜在客户对我们产品的美丽感到惊讶, 但他们的价格却把他们赶走了。本句是but连接的并列句, drive作后句的谓语, 根据前文were amazed可知, 用一般过去时。故填drve。
④考查宾语从句。句意:第一次失败教会了唐他们所需要的: 找到降低生产成本的方法。空处引导宾语从句, 从句中缺少宾语, 且表示"……的事物", 应用what引导。故填what。

⑦考查动词不定式。句意: 然而, 为了给娃娃增添精致和工艺感, 她保留了一些手工制作的发型和妆容。此处表目的, 用不定式作目的状语。故填 t lend。
⑧考查介词。句意:经过几十年的全身心投入, 唐现在经营着自己的北京绢人产品品牌"唐娃娃"。devtin常和介词t连用, 表示"献身于"。故填t。
⑨考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意:当我还小的时候, 娃娃被称为yangwawa, 意思是西方娃娃。call作本句谓语, 和主语dlls之间是被动关系, 用被动语态, 根据前文的was, 可知用一般过去时, be动词用were。故填were called。
⑩考查现在分词。句意:我想制作与中国人有文化联系的娃娃, 以及具有丰富历史内涵的绢人。本句已有谓语动词wanted, 所以bear用非谓语形式, 和逻辑主语dll之间是主动关系, 用现在分词形式作定语。故填bearing。
