“Hi, I’m Alex, ” a by with a guitar slung ver his shulder smiled. “Yu play pian, right? I remember seeing yu perfrm at the freshman cncert.” Mia tensed, her scar thrbbing (颤动) slightly. “Nt anymre, ” she mumbled, pretending t study her music sheet.
Weeks passed. Mia kept t herself, but Alex’s persistence was unwavering. One afternn as Mia was sketching (画素描) the pian in her ntebk, Alex suddenly said, “What if we did a duet (二重奏) fr the winter cncert? Yu culd... uh, help me with the pian part?” His ears turned red, and Mia realized he was trying t hide the fact that he already knew abut her accident.
“I can’t,” Mia said quickly, shutting her ntebk. But Alex just shrugged. “N pressure. I’ll be practicing in the music rm after schl if yu change yur mind. ”
That evening, Mia fund herself lingering (徘徊) utside the rm. Thrugh the windw, she saw Alex struggling with a cmplicated guitar piece. Smething abut his determinatin stirred her. She pushed the dr pen. “The bridge sectin needs mre harmny,” she said sftly. “Like this.” Withut thinking, she sat at the pian and played a simple chrd prgressin, her scarred hand trembling but steady. Alex’s eyes lit up. “Perfect! Let’s try it tgether.”
As the cncert date neared, Mia nticed smething surprising - her hand hurt less when she played, as if the music was healing ld wunds.
On the night f the cncert, the stage lights glimmered n the pian and guitar. Mia tk a deep breath, her fingers hvering (悬停) ver the keys. When Alex ndded, she began t play, sft and sure. The rm was silent, then erupted int applause as their final ntes cmbined.
Mia smiled. She realized that Alex had never pitied her; he’d simply seen the music in her heart, waiting t be heard. The scar n her hand still ached smetimes, but nw it felt like a reminder f hw beauty culd grw frm brkenness - just like their duet, imperfect yet whle.

In an era f cnstant ntificatins and endless t-d lists, many f us pride urselves n “multitasking”-answering emails while watching a lecture, texting during hmewrk, r scrlling scial media while studying. Hwever, decades f psychlgical research reveal a cunter-intuitive truth: multitasking is nt a prductivity superpwer but a cgnitive illusin (认知假象).
The human brain is nt designed t handle multiple unrelated tasks at a time. Instead, it switches rapidly between them, a prcess called task switching. Each time we shift fcus—say, frm slving math prblems t checking a message — the prefrntal crtex (前额皮层), respnsible fr decisin-making, must adjust itself. This “cgnitive switching cst” includes a temprary drp in speed and accuracy. A 2019 study in Jurnal f Experimental Psychlgy fund that participants wh switched between tasks tk 30% lnger t cmplete them and made 50% mre errrs than thse wh fcused sequentially.
One key reasn fr this inefficiency is attentin residue (残留) — the mental delay when ur brain hasn’t fully free itself frm a previus task. Imagine writing an essay while wrrying abut an upcming quiz: yur thughts linger n the quiz, reducing the quality f yur writing. Neurlgical scans shw that even simple task shifts leave a “shadw” in wrking memry, cnsuming valuable cgnitive resurces. Multitasking, therefre, desn’t divide attentin; it fragments it, leaving each task half-cmplete and mentally exhausting.
Cntrary t ppular belief, “gifted multitaskers” are extremely rare. A 2009 University f Michigan study tested ver 300 participants and fund fewer than 2% culd handle multiple cmplex tasks withut perfrmance decline. Mst f us are merely “serial taskers” fling urselves int thinking we’re ding tw things at nce. The illusin persists because we cnfuse busyness with prductivity - flitting between tasks creates the illusin f prgress, but deep, meaningful wrk requires sustained fcus.
S, hw can we escape the multitasking trap? Psychlgists recmmend the “single-tasking” apprach: schedule specific time blcks fr each activity, turn ff nn-essential ntificatins, and embrace the discmfrt f fcusing n ne thing. Paradxically, ding less at nce allws us t achieve mre, as ur brains thrive n depth rather than breadth. As the pet Mary Oliver wrte, “Tell me, what is it yu plan t d with yur ne wild and precius life?” Perhaps the answer starts with ding fewer things-but ding them with all ur mind.
28. What des the phrase “cgnitive switching cst” in paragraph 2 prbably refer t?
A. The mental effrt required t remember multiple tasks.
B. The shrt-term decline in task perfrmance due t fcus shifts.
C. The lng-term damage t the prefrntal crtex frm multitasking.
D. The increased speed in cmpleting tasks by switching frequently.
29. What is the third paragraph mainly abut?
A. Simple task shifts have n impact n cgnitive resurces.
B. Neurlgical scans reveal the structure f wrking memry.
C. Multitasking imprves writing quality by dividing attentin.
D. Attentin residue causes incmplete tasks and mental exhaustin.
30. What did the 2009 University f Michigan study find?
A. Serial taskers are mre prductive than gifted multitaskers.
B. Abut 2% f participants perfrmed better when multitasking.
C. Few peple can multitask cmplex tasks withut perfrmance lss.
D. Mst peple can handle cmplex tasks at the same time efficiently.
31. What can we infer frm the passage abut imprving prductivity?
A. Shrt breaks between tasks can enhance fcus.
B. Multitasking is suitable fr simple daily activities.
C. Peple shuld rely n technlgy t manage tasks.
D. Embracing single-tasking may lead t better results.

Slar energy, as a clean and renewable energy surce, has been playing an increasingly imprtant rle in the glbal energy mix. Recently, significant advancements in slar energy technlgy have brught us clser t a mre sustainable future.
One f the mst ntable develpments is the creatin f new slar cell materials. Traditinal silicn-based slar cells have limitatins in terms f efficiency and cst. Hwever, researchers have been explring alternative materials. Fr example, pervskite slar cells (钙钛矿太阳能电池) have emerged as a prmising alternative. These cells can be prduced at a lwer cst and have shwn high efficiency in cnverting sunlight int electricity. Sme pervskite slar cells have even achieved cnversin efficiencies cmparable t, r even exceeding, thse f traditinal silicn cells in labratry settings. This culd ptentially revlutinize the slar energy industry by making slar pwer mre affrdable and accessible.
Anther area f prgress is in energy strage slutins fr slar energy. Slar pwer is intermittent (断断续续的), depending n sunlight availability. T address this, new battery technlgies are being develped. Lithium-in batteries (锂离子电池)have been widely used, but researchers are nw lking at ther ptins like flw batteries. Flw batteries can stre large amunts f energy and have a lnger lifespan. They can effectively stre the excess electricity generated by slar panels during the day and release it when needed at night r during cludy days. This imprves the reliability and usability f slar energy.
Despite these exciting advancements, there are still challenges. The durability f new materials like pervskite under real-wrld cnditins needs t be further imprved. And the cst f sme advanced energy strage systems is still relatively high. But with cntinuus research and develpment, these issues are expected t be gradually reslved.
32. What is a key advantage f pervskite slar cells ver traditinal silicn-based cells?
A. They are inexpensive yet mre efficient.
B. They are mre durable in all weather cnditins.
C. They require less sunlight t generate electricity.
D. They have a lnger histry f practical applicatin.
33. Why are flw batteries cnsidered a prmising slutin fr slar energy?
A. They are cheaper than lithium-in batteries.
B. They can stre energy cntinuusly withut interruptin.
C. They have a lnger lifespan and can stre large energy amunts.
D. They can wrk better than lithium-in batteries under lw sunlight.
34. What is the authr’s attitude twards the advancements in slar energy technlgy?
A. Optimistic.B. Pessimistic.
C. Neutral.D. Dubtful.
35. Which is prbably the best title fr the text?
A. The Limitatins f Slar Energy
B. Energy Strage Slutins fr Slar Energy
C. Traditinal Slar Cells vs New Technlgies
D. New Advancements in Slar Energy Technlgy

【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章围绕数字时代技术对人际关系的影响展开介绍。一方面，技术实现全球连通，打破地理隔阂，便于人们维持关系。另一方面，其过度使用导致问题出现：即时通讯虽便捷却流于表面，缺乏面对面交流的细节，降低人们对关系的满意度；同时造成虚假连接感，破坏现实互动中的亲密氛围。尽管有人认为合理使用数字工具可兼顾深度关系，但技术干扰客观存在。关键在于平衡技术使用，以保障人际关系的深度与真实性。
【36题详解】
根据上文“In the digital age, technlgy has revlutinized hw we interact, bridging distances but als raising questins abut the depth f ur relatinships. While smartphnes and scial media enable instant cmmunicatin , their veruse ften transfrms meaningful cnnectins int superficial (肤浅的) exchanges.(在数字时代，科技彻底改变了我们的交流方式，拉近了人与人之间的距离，但也引发了关于人际关系深度的思考。虽然智能手机和社交媒体使即时沟通成为可能，但过度使用它们往往会将有意义的联系变成肤浅的交流)”可知，首段前两句肯定技术便利性，转折后指出过度使用使关系肤浅，本句总结上文的矛盾以及影响。故G选项“这种矛盾凸显了评估技术是否能促进人际交流的必要性”符合语境，故选G。
【37题详解】
根据后文“Text messages and emjis facilitate quick exchanges but lack the nuances (细微差别) f tne, bdy language, and facial expressins that define in-persn cnversatins. A 2023 study fund that peple relying n digital chat feel less satisfied with their relatinships(短信和表情符号有助于实现快速交流，但它们缺乏语气、肢体语言和面部表情等这些能体现面对面交流特质的元素。2023年的一项研究发现，依赖数字聊天的人对他们的关系满意度较低)”可知，第二段提到“依赖数字聊天的人对他们的关系满意度较低”，即数字聊天让人们缺乏沟通，故E选项“但即时通讯的便捷性往往以深度交流的缺失为代价”符合语境，故选E。
【38题详解】
根据上文“A 2023 study fund that peple relying n digital chat feel less satisfied with their relatinships.(2023 年的一项研究发现，依赖网络聊天的人对他们的人际关系满意度较低)”可知，上文提到满意度低，推测本句要说明促进沟通的方法。故D选项“深切的面对面交谈比简短的社交媒体评论更有可能建立信任”符合语境，故选D。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Mrever, technlgy can create a false sense f cnnectin while prmting physical disengagement.(此外，技术虽然能让人产生一种虚假的联系感，但却会导致实际的物理疏离)”以及后文“A survey by Baylr University revealed that 60% f participants felt ignred when their cmpanins used phnes during meetings r meals, damaging the clseness f thse mments. This shift tward digital interactin suggests that cnvenience is vershadwing the authenticity f human cnnectin.(贝勒大学的一项调查表明，60%的参与者在同伴在会议或用餐时使用手机时会感到被忽视，这破坏了那些时刻的亲密感。这种向数字化交流方式的转变表明，便捷性正在取代人与人之间真实的情感联系)”可知，第四段指出技术导致 “虚假连接感”，本句解释物理疏离，衔接贝勒大学调查案例。故B选项“人们往往更倾向于浏览信息流，而非进行实时互动”符合语境，故选B。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Critics argue that technlgy merely adapts t human behavir rather than shaping it; mindful users can maintain deep relatinships alngside digital tls. While this is true, the verall effect f cnstant digital distractin is undeniable.(批评者认为，技术只是适应人类的行为，而非塑造人类行为；但有意识的用户仍能在使用数字工具的同时维系深厚的人际关系。诚然如此，但持续的数字干扰所带来的总体影响却是不容忽视的)”可知，末段总结解决方案，A 选项“关键不在拒绝技术而在平衡使用”，引出“设定边界”的建议，呼应全文“技术与真实关系”的核心议题。故A选项“关键不在于拒绝使用技术，而在于合理利用技术”符合语境，故选A。

Beneath it lay a leather jurnal she’d never seen. With curisity, she pened it. The first entry was dated March 2023, during her hspital admissin fr pneumnia (肺炎).
Day 12: “Sld the car tday. Lily’s medical bills cleared. Tld her the ld sedan ‘ needed retirement’-better she thinks me frugal (节俭的) than wrried.”

Frm that mment, Lily knew their bnd was deeper than she’d ever thught, rted in a father’s silent devtin and a daughter’s new-fund understanding.
