Jane Seymur, c-funder f the Open Hearts Fundatin, has always been inspired by her mther’s advice — that lve has n bundaries and flws uncnditinally. That advice riginated frm Jane’s mther’s experience as a survivr f Wrld War II. She survived three and a half hrrific years by caring fr sldiers wh were far wrse ff than she was. Fcusing her energy n serving thers under the mst difficult circumstances was the nly way she survived.
Jane was greatly impacted by her mther’s stry. When faced with her wn persnal challenges — lsing her hme and being nearly brke — Jane used her last bit f mney t have an artist draw her children. At her hme, the artist saw sme f Jane’s paintings, and ffered her free art lessns. It was then that she discvered her unique talent fr art, which led t a series f psitive influences in her life, including a new career, new passins, and the inspiratin fr the Open Hearts Value.
Every time Jane painted a heart, it was pen, and when there were tw r mre, they were always cnnected. This distinctive image represents the Open Hearts Value, and was the beginning f her jurney t encurage peple t turn their persnal challenges int an pprtunity t help thers.
When Signet Jewelers, the wrld’s largest retailer （零售商） f diamnd jewelry, learned f this stry, they apprached her abut creating a line f jewelry with the Open Hearts symbl. That business partnership sld billins f dllars f jewelry and started the charitable beginning f the Open Hearts Fundatin. Jane’s visin was t create a fundatin that encuraged peple t help thers and prvided immediate funding t small, new charities that shared the same values.
What started as a cause marketing campaign has grwn int a mvement f like-minded peple wrking tgether fr the greater gd. Over sixty charities have been supprted by the Fundatin and thusands f vlunteers have been inspired t d what they can t help thers thrugh virtual and in-persn vlunteer experiences.

Tday, trees face a serius threat frm human activity. Over the past 300 years, 1.5 billin hectares f frest have been lst, resulting in the lss f bidiversity, desertificatin, and increased fld risks. Defrestatin is als linked t a higher likelihd f disease utbreaks due t increased cntact between humans and animals.
In his bk Treewilding, eclgist Jake Rbinsn explres hw t best prtect and restre frests. He argues that merely planting trees is nt enugh t fight defrestatin. Tree-planting prjects have increased dramatically in recent decades. Althugh trees help prevent sil degradatin and fight climate change by capturing carbn, prly planned tree-planting prjects can harm ecsystems. Mnculture, where nly ne type f tree is planted, reduces bidiversity and makes frests easier t suffer diseases.
Rbinsn advcates fr a mre infrmed apprach t frest restratin. Regulatrs must understand the cmplex cnnectins between trees, peple, animals, and even micrrganisms. Fr instance, native peple ften rely n frests fr farming and raising livestck. Therefre, tree-planting prjects shuld take int accunt lcal knwledge and the needs f cmmunities t avid displacing them unfairly.
Rbinsn highlights several frest restratin prjects. The Great Green Wall prject aims t grw a line f trees acrss the Sahara Desert t prevent desert expansin and imprve lcal livelihds. Anther prject, Western Australia’s Gndwana Link, seeks t recnnect brken frest areas t prtect endangered species. These prjects emphasize the imprtance f understanding lcal ecsystems and investing in the lng-term care f yung trees.
Rbinsn cncludes that natural regeneratin — allwing frests t heal themselves — is ne f the best methds f restratin. He cmpares it t a phenix （凤凰） rising frm its ashes, pinting ut that a frest can regenerate frm its wn leftvers. His descriptins and thught-prvking questins add depth t his narrative. He explres hw t understand the envirnment’s fundamental state and examines hw animals cntribute t frest regeneratin. His balanced perspective encurages researchers t develp mre effective methds fr frest restratin.

B.T make tree-planting prjects mre digital.
C.T prtect cmmunities frm unjust displacement.

Are yu a lgical thinker, r wuld yu say that yu’re mre free-spirited and artistic? If yu’re the frmer, smebdy’s prbably tld yu at sme pint that yu’re a left-brained persn, and if yu’re the latter, right-brained. The idea that the right half f the brain is the creative half and the left half is the analytical half and that ur individual characteristics are determined by which half is dminant （主导的） is widespread in ppular psychlgy.
The idea that there are right-brained and left-brained peple is a myth. Althugh we all bviusly have different persnalities and talents, there’s n reasn t believe these differences can be explained by the dminance f ne half f the brain ver the ther half. Recent research using brain imaging technlgy hasn’t fund any evidence f right r left dminance. Math, fr example, requires lgical thught and, thus, is generally said t be cnnected with the left brain. But mathematics invlves a prfundly creative effrt in additin t being a lgical ne. S wuld a gifted mathematician be a right-brained persn r a left-brained persn?
If there’s n evidence fr the myth f right-brained and left-brained peple, why d s many peple believe it? Perhaps it just makes intuitive (直觉的) sense that peple’s brains wuld be dminant n ne side r the ther just as their hands, feet, r eyes are. It may als have smething t d with ur seemingly unlimited appetite that allws us t srt urselves int “types” based n ur emtinal and intellectual characteristics. When peple are ffered sme descriptive statements that are presented as individualized descriptins f their wn persnalities, they tend t accept them as meaningful and true, especially if the statements are psitive. The “insights” that it generates are ften flattering. After all, wh wuld reject a descriptin f themselves as “artistic and creative” r “ratinal and analytical”?
The myth is ppular, in the end, because it gives us a "scientific" way t talk abut ur favrite subject — urselves.
12．What des the first paragraph say abut brain dminance?
A.It’s a recent discvery.
B.It’s a uncertain analysis.
C.It’s a cmmn belief.
D.It’s a cntradictry thery.
13．Why des the authr mentin math in paragraph 2?
A.T advcate further study.
B.T prve his pint n the issue.
C.T emphasize its cmplexity.
D.T shw his gift as a mathematician.
14．What des the underlined wrd "flattering" mean in paragraph 3?
A.Puzzling.
B.Accurate.
C.Ridiculus.
D.Pleasing.
15．What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A.The Science Behind Persnality Types
B.The Rle f Creativity in Mathematics
C.The Influence f Brain Dminance n Behavir
D.The Myth f Left-Brained and Right-Brained Peple

My sns, aged 12 and 14, are lucky enugh t have been skiing in the French Alps mst years since they were yung. And if yu asked them, r my husband and I, fr that 1 , we’d all say these winter trips have been ur mst 2 times as a family.

解析： 细节理解题。根据首段中的"The idea that the right half f the brain is the creative half and the left half is the analytical half and that ur individual characteristics are determined by which half is dminant（主导的）is widespread in ppular psychlgy.（大脑的右半部分是创造性的,左半部分是分析性的,我们的个人特征是由哪一半占主导地位决定的,这种观念在大众心理学中很普遍）"可知,第一段指出在人们中一个广泛流行的观念——大脑的右半部分是创造性的,左半部分是分析性的,由此可知,第一段讲述的关于大脑主导的观念是一个普遍的观念。故选C项。
13．答案： B
解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段中的"The idea that there are right-brained and left-brained peple is a myth. Althugh we all bviusly have different persnalities and talents, there’s n reasn t believe these differences can be explained by the dminance f ne half f the brain ver the ther half. （右脑人和左脑人之分的想法是一个荒诞的说法。虽然我们显然都有不同的性格和天赋,但没有理由相信这些差异可以用大脑的一半比另一半占主导地位来解释）"以及下文的"Math, fr example, requires lgical thught and, thus, is generally said t be cnnected with the left brain. But mathematics invlves a prfundly creative effrt in additin t being a lgical ne. （例如,数学需要逻辑思维,因此通常被认为与左脑有关。但数学除了逻辑之外,还涉及深刻的创造性努力）"可知,作者认为右脑人和左脑人之分的想法是一个荒诞的说法,进而在下文以数学为例来分析,数学除了与通常被认为的左脑有关,还涉及深刻的创造性努力,由此可知,作者提到数学是为了反驳一个流行的观念：左右脑优势主导性格。故选B项。
14．答案： D

15．答案： D
解析： 主旨大意题。根据首段"The idea that the right half f the brain is the creative half and the left half is the analytical half and that ur individual characteristics are determined by which half is dminant （主导的） is widespread in ppular psychlgy. （大脑的右半部分是创造性的,左半部分是分析性的,我们的个人特征是由哪一半占主导地位决定的,这种观念在大众心理学中很普遍。）"可知,首段先指出在人们中一个广泛流行的观念——大脑的右半部分是创造性的,左半部分是分析性的,结合第二段中的"The idea that there are right-brained and left-brained peple is a myth.（右脑人和左脑人之分的想法是一个荒诞的说法。）"可知,作者指出这一种说法是荒诞的,进而用数学的例子驳斥这种观念,结合第三段中的"If there's n evidence fr the myth f right-brained and left-brained peple,why d s many peple believe it?（如果没有证据证明右脑人和左脑人的神话,为什么这么多人相信它?）"以及下文中详细介绍的人们广泛接受这一观念的原因可知,本文主要解释和驳斥了大脑的左右半球分别主导分析性和创造性思维、性格由优势半脑决定这种观念,并探讨其流行的深层原因,所以题目"左脑和右脑人的荒诞说法"既否定了左右脑主导不同思维这一观念,又能引出对此说法的一种解释,概括了文章的主题,适合作为最佳标题。故选D项。

32．答案： where； received； is desired； cating； intentinally； as； inspired； it； significance； impressive
解析： ①考查定语从句。句意：在浙江省安吉县,生长着一种被称为"玉竹"的特殊竹子。这是一个定语从句,先行词是Anji cunty f Zhejiang prvince,在从句中作地点状语,所以用where引导。故填where。
②考查一般过去时。句意：当时20多岁的徐家东仍然记得山间寒冷的空气和他当时从父亲那里得到的教训。根据时间状语then可知,这里说的是过去的事情,所以这里用一般过去时received。故填received。
③考查一般现在时的被动语态。句意：一般来说,已经长到5年的竹子需要一层天然的白色蜡质物质覆盖植物。句子的主语是bamb,不可数,和动词desire之间是被动关系,又因为这里描述客观现象,用一般现在时,故填is desired。
④考查现在分词。句意：一般来说,已经长到5年的竹子需要一层天然的白色蜡质物质覆盖植物。这里是with的复合结构,cat和substance之间是主动关系,用现在分词作宾补,故填cating。
⑤考查副词。句意：这是竹蜡,当它被故意去除时,下面的绿色就会显露出来。空处应为副词修饰动词remved作状语,故填intentinally。
⑥考查介词。句意：到14世纪折扇开始流行时,竹子在中国文化中长期以来一直是美德和正直的象征。stand as为固定短语,表示"作为…..…而存在；被视为",故填as。
⑦考查过去分词。句意：古代的绘画受到竹子牢不可破和柔韧的启发,象征着艺术家的美德。inspire和Paintings之间是被动关系,空处为过去分词短语作状语,故填inspired。
⑧考查代词。句意：这些品质使其成为扇子制作者的首选材料,包括徐的家族,把这手艺代代相传。空处应为代词来指代前面提到的bamb,作made的宾语,故填it。
⑨考查名词。句意：由稀有材料制成的扇子可能很有价值,但它们缺乏竹子提供的独特文化意义。空处应为名词作lack的宾语,故填significance。
⑩考查形容词。句意：今天,徐家东继续从父亲那里学到的技术,确保每把扇子都体现出令人印象深刻的中国工艺。空处应为形容词修饰Chinese craftsmanship作定语,表示手工艺的性质,用impressive,故填impressive。
