Writing is a bug, and I caught it very early n in life. When my parents cleared their strage rm ut recently, they fund The Stry Bk Special I wrte when I was nine years ld. I culdn’t believe my imaginatin was s wild. Reading it reminded me f hw special wrds had been t me at an early age. It’s a feeling that has lasted, thrugh my schl years and far, far beynd.
At the age f 18, I jined Kent Plice and spent twelve years living every little by’s dream f driving cars fast and playing cps and rbbers fr real. It’s safe t say it’s a career I’d still be in nw, if nt fr what happened when I was 28.
I was a fit man when, unexpectedly, I was diagnsed with an incurable heart disease. It’s the disease yu hear f when a sprtspersn suddenly drps dead n the field f play. But, yu knw what, it’s ne f the best things t have happened t me.
When this happened, I made a t-d list. At the tp f it was t write a full-length, “prper” bk. I wrte the first draft f my first nvel in three mnths and lved every minute f the prcess. I knew this was what I wanted t d, mre than anything, and getting int publishing can’t be that hard... right? Wrng!
As every authr knws, brick walls are everywhere, and when yu knck ne dwn, there’s anther ne. After a few false starts, I cupled with my wnderful agent, Nicky. We spent eight slid mnths editing and sent the manuscript ff. Once again, we received sme dressed-up “n’s”, until Rachel, an editr I’d really wanted t wrk with, read it. Her visin fr the bk is exactly cnsistent with mine!
Nw my first nvel is ptined fr televisin, and is in the hands f a wnderful prductin team bth here in Lndn, and in Australia where it will be filmed.
Writing is what I lve, and seeing my little stry bk frm when I was nine really drve it hme t me. We dn’t ften get anther chance in life, but I was given ne when I survived smething tragically fatal. Nw, with my secnd chance, I’m giving it the best g I can.
24. Hw did the authr feel when reading The Stry Bk Special?
A. Nervus.B. Relieved.C. Prud.D. Ashamed.
25. After being tld he had heart disease, the authr decided t ___________.
A. get a jb in publishingB. cntinue wrking as a pliceman
C. pick up a new hbbyD. pursue his passin fr wrds
26. What happened when the authr acted n his t-d list?
A. His first nvel was turned dwn many times.
B. He adapted his nvel and filmed it in Australia.
C. He wrked with a c-authr t imprve the draft.
D. His cntinuus effrts earned Rachel’s appreciatin.
27. What can we learn frm this passage?
A. Tw heads are better than ne.B. A little bit mre sums up success.
C. It’s hard t change ne’s nature.D. A setback is a setup fr a cmeback.

Chink salmn and their habitats in Seattle’s Thrntn Creek suffered severely due t urban expansin, causing flash flds and bidiversity lss. Despite restratin effrts, the nce-abundant salmn all but disappeared. During a cnference, bilgist Katherine Lynch prpsed rebuilding the creek’s missing “liver” damaged by urbanizatin.
Lynch has been studying the hyprheic zne, a layer f wet sediment (沉积物), small stnes and tiny creatures beneath the streambed. It facilitates water mixing and xygen delivery t salmn eggs, earning the nickname “liver f the river.” The disappearance f this zne threatens the health f waterways. Lynch recgnized that, hwever, mst restratin effrts in Seattle verlked it r discnnected it frm the surface water.
Teamed with engineer Mike Hrachvec, Lynch redesigned Thrntn Creek. They strategically put lgs int the water at precise angles t create tiny waterfalls and nearly still water pckets, generating hydraulic pressure t frce water dwn int the hyprheic zne. These accurately placed lgs and rcks, knwn as “hyprheic structures,” als create pckets f slw water that prvide safe shelters fr juvenile fish — all meant t emulate features f a natural stream. Subsequent data analysis cnfirmed the stream functined as Lynch’s team — and nature — intended.
But was the stream als supprting life? Given that the stne and sand psitined were sterile (贫瘠的) territry, Lynch thught that a bilgical jumpstart might be necessary and that the return f life t restred creeks relied n rganisms migrating frm healthy upstream habitats. S her team tried anther grund-breaking mve: inculating (接种) the engineered hyprheic zne with micrbes (微生物), which quickly ppulated the areas. But even thugh the number f individuals was high, the bidiversity was relatively lw. A 2021 study by stream eclgist Sarah Mrley nted that while a few f the new species grew rapidly, mst were similar t thse in unrestred sectin. Scientists are explring reasns fr the limited survival f intrduced species, and because this science is s new, they have nt ruled ut any ptential explanatins: differences in the dnr stream, size f the restred area, r pr water quality. They might have inculated the hyprheic t sn, befre essential vegetatin culd establish.
The Thrntn Creek restratins have successfully prevented neighburhd flding, even during heavy strms, and stabilized the stream’s flw. Mst ntably, Chink salmn returned t lay eggs in the restred hyprheic znes, tuching Lynch deeply. She recalls, “this success suggests that small urban creek restratins can revitalize functining ecsystems.”
28. What des the underlined wrd “emulate” in Paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A. Recrd.B. Cpy.C. Mnitr.D. Transfrm.
29. What can be inferred abut the micrbial inculatin in Thrntn Creek?
A. It intrduced essential vegetatin.B. It restred the riginal bidiversity.
C. It increased the ttal quantity f micrbes.D. It surced micrbes frm dwnstream habitats.
30. What can we learn frm Lynch’s restratin prject?
A. It fcused n increasing water xygen levels.
B. It recreated the cnditins f the dnr stream.
C. It remved human-made structures frm the creek.
D. It integrated physical redesign with bi-interventin.
31. Which wuld be the best title fr this passage?
A. T Revive a River, Restre Its Liver.
B. Urbanizatin: A Silent Killer f a River.
C. Chink Salmn Bst the Diversity f Ecsystems.
D. What Makes the Hyprheic Zne Vital fr Restratin?.
D
Bks are abut t becme a little less “Impressive!”, “Appealing!” and “Spellbinding!”. Fewer still will ffer a “tur de frce” (whatever ne f thse might be). That is because Simn & Schuster, an American publisher, has decided t stp ding bk blurbs ( als called “puffs” in Britain) — thse invited cmments frm ther authrs n the back f bks. They are, says Sean Manning, the cmpany’s publisher, “very awkward”.
The prblem with blurbs is that there is always a need t publicly evaluate bks. It is a fact in the life f a writer that if ne publicly publishes, ne is ging t be publicly judged. When negative, such judgments can be painful, when stupid, it can be maddening, but when psitive, it can als be a jyful, supprtive mment. Hwever, when a writer gets prearranged remarks, it devalues legitimate (合情合理的) respnses.
The style f a puff is, as the name suggests, breathless. Smene might declare a bk “authritative”; anther, “unputdwnable”; and a third, “If yu can read this bk withut screaming with excitement, yur sul is dead”. Yu feel guilty, wrte Gerge Orwell, when yu are in the library and “fail t scream with delight”. Als, in thery blurbs are testament t an authr’s narrative skills. In truth they are a testament t their scial nes: they ften reflect arm-twisting rather than artistry. Literary heavyweights hate giving them. “We wuld as sn sell ur tears fr lemn-drps”, wrte Nathaniel Parker Willis, a pet, than thus “spil ne f the truthful adjectives in the wrld”. New authrs struggle t get blurbs, which is partly why Simn & Schuster is giving them up.
Blurbs mre ften exemplify the very bad writing. Many are less written than pieced up frm stck phrases — “A heartbreaking, unputdwnable page-turner!” — with an exclamatin mark at the end. This makes them exhausting t read! There has been hnest cpy n dust jackets — T. S. Elit’s descriptin f Luis MacNeice, a fellw pet, infrmed readers that “His wrk is accessible but unppular” — but it is t rare.
It turns ut that the habit f using wrds like “unputdwnable” is itself quite putdwnable. Mr. Manning says his editrs will use the time they save n chasing qutes t instead prduce gd bks. Nt, nte, “charming” r “absrbing” bks but simply “the best bks pssible”. It is an admirably mdest aim.
32 What can we learn abut blurbs?
A. They serve the interest f bk writers.B. They guarantee legitimate respnses.
C. New authrs are sick f writing them.D. Readers feel guilty after reading them.
33. The authr uses Elit’s example mainly t ____________.
A. advcate the riginality in blurbsB. clarify a miscnceptin abut blurbs
C distinguish the varius types f current blurbsD. suggest the widespread presence f dishnest blurbs
34. What can we infer frm the passage?
A. Blurbs are self-defeating.B. There is n need fr blurbs.
C. Blurbs prmte scial skills.D. Established authrs favr blurbs.

____36____ It culd be that the children vlunteers were already in great health. But because f an alarming rise in mental health issues amng yung peple, envirnmental health scientists believe this early evidence is prmising enugh t pursue. A 2021 advisry warned that the number f yung peple reprting cnstant feelings f sadness r hpelessness had increased by40 percent ver the previus decade. There are multiple pssible causes, including anxiety ver climate change, the effects f scial media use and unfriendly persnal circumstances.
T address these prblems, researchers pint t the imprtance f “cntributin” as an essential piece f scial and emtinal develpment fr teenagers.

After 30 hurs f vlunteer wrk at cmmunity rganizatins, the average reductin in depressive symptms was 19 percent.
What accunts fr the benefits? Helping thers imprves md and raises cnfidence. It prvides rich grund fr building scial cnnectins. It als changes hw yung peple see themselves. Many teens dn’t feel imprtant. ____38____
There may be a ptential dwnside t vlunteering, hwever. ____39____ “Yung peple have t chse smething that feels meaningful t them,” Ballard says. Adults can help by ffering chices and checking vlunteer pprtunities t be sure that rganizatins are well run and equipped t ffer a gd experience.
A. Admittedly, this finding nly shws cnnectins.
B. Nw scientists are finding similar links in children and teenagers.
C. This imprvement was in cmparisn with yung peple wh did nt vlunteer.
D. The sense f mattering t thers translates really well t their needs t cnnect and belng.
E. Everyne in the study enjyed the wrk and reprted a sense f pride and accmplishment.
F. The experience can be harmful if yung peple feel like they are being frced t participate.
G. Vlunteering gives them a different sense f themselves, a sense f cnfidence and self-value.

Gd news fr prcrastinatrs (拖延者): There is a way t use prcrastinatin t yur advantage. Mst prcrastinatrs make the mistake f ding nthing at all. But when yu use prcrastinatin as mtivatin t get things dne, yu can avid ding that ne thing yu really wuld rather nt d and be quite prductive. It’s what essayist Jhn Perry calls “structured prcrastinatin”.
Let’s say, fr example, yu have a number f tasks yu are aviding, in rder f urgency:1) Finishing an essay; 2) Respnding t emails; 3) Cleaning and ding laundry. A nn-prcrastinatr wuld accmplish these tasks in rder f urgency. A prcrastinatr wuld avid ding them altgether. But a structured prcrastinatr wuld d them in reverse (反向) — using his desire t avid writing the essay as mtivatin t d cleaning and respnd t emails. Since he can reprgram by wrking n ther things that are still valuable, he is actually getting a lt dne.
Cllege senir Jrdan Gnen is what yu might call a structured prcrastinatr. When he is vercme with fear f hmewrk, he’ll preccupy himself with what he calls “quick wins”—sending emails and writing articles fr his blg. “It’s still prcrastinating my hmewrk, but instead f ding nthing in the meantime, I’m still getting a lt dne,” Gnen says.
Once he gets thrugh these tasks, Gnen can mre easily get int the mindset f tackling his hmewrk. “A lt f these smaller tasks aren’t particularly fun r prductive, but if yu can really knck them ut really quickly ver a certain perid f time, then yu can get a lt mre dne and it desn’t feel necessarily wrse — yu’ re just wrking 100 percent n whatever yu’ re wrking n,” Gnen says.
40 What is “structured prcrastinatin”?

41. Hw wuld structured prcrastinatrs handle a number f tasks they are aviding?

42. Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.
Gnen gets thrugh his smaller tasks first because they are fun and prductive.
