Sectin A (10')
Directins: After reading the passages belw, fill in the blanks t make the passages cherent and grammatically crrect. Fr the blanks with a given wrd, fill in each blank with the prper frm f the given wrd; fr the ther blanks, use ne wrd that best fits each blank.
Using abbreviatins (缩写) in text messages cmes acrss as less sincere
Psychlgists analyzed messages frm mre than 5, 000 peple and fund that thse wh used abbreviatins were cnsidered less sincere. The findings suggest that typing a quick “hru?” appears 21 (genuine). Instead, taking the time 22 (spell) ut: “Hw are yu?” sunds mre sincere.
David Fang and his clleagues ran the studies t explre the impact f abbreviatins in different 23 (message) situatins. Peple using abbreviatins 24 (tend) t receive fewer respnses than thse wh spelled wrds ut, the studies fund. While yunger peple used mre abbreviatins, the negative effect remained, the researchers say.
25 the wrld's first text message appeared in December 1992, senders have develped a mre efficient language with cmplete wrds and phrases drpped in favr f the bare minimum f letters. Half - hearted agreement becmes “idrc”, fr “I dn't really care”. And why bther 26 the effrt f writing “I lve yu” when “ily” will d? The researchers dug int the issue t understand whether abbreviatins, which 27 (intend) t cnvey exactly the same meaning as the full wrd, had slight effects n recipients. One schl f thught is that abbreviatins are mre casual and infrmal, prmting a clseness between thse wh message. 28 hlds that abbreviatins reveal a lack f effrt and interest in the persn.
In ne f the experiments, peple wh received messages full f abbreviatins respnded with shrter messages than therwise. “Our findings are cnsistent with all literature 29 indicates peple value cnversatinal quality. They prefer messages that cnvey thughtfulness and persnal cnnectin,” the authrs write. Althugh researchers used real - wrld data fr sme f their wrk, ther psychlgists questined 30 abbreviatins were really s prblematic.
Prfessr Linda Kaye, a psychlgist at Edge Hill University, said: “In a real - wrld interactin, receivers are likely t have mre cntext and familiarity with the sender, making the use f abbreviatins less trublesme.”

Elephants are Thailand's biggest attractin: The Wrld Animal Prtectin Agency estimates that, befre the pandemic, elephant turism brught in an incme f $581 - 770 millin USD every year.

Ⅲ. Reading Cmprehensin (45')
Sectin A Clze (15')
Directins: Fr each blank in the fllwing passage there are fur wrds r phrases marked A, B, C, and D. Fill in each blank with the wrd r phrase that best fits the cntext.
Wrking frm hme is transitining int a permanent mixed wrk/ ffice mdel. (41) ______ as it usually is, it brings its wn set f challenges.
The massive shift t wrking frm hme ver the past years prbably will cntinue. This shift culd change the shape f cities, (42) ______ ur lives, and change the relatinships we have with ur cwrkers. Will we mve ut f the big city? Can remte wrk — and (43) ______ hybrid wrk — be sustainable?
Surveys indicate that ver 70% f emplyees lng t keep wrking remtely. (44) ______, ver 65% want mre time spent in - persn with their teams. This is ne f the main challenges with remte wrk that a hybrid mdel might slve.
Wrk frm hme means n (45) ______ and hpefully a mre flexible wrk schedule, saving
time and imprving efficiency But wrking in the ffice means that yu can get ut f the huse (nt everybdy has a(n) 46 child - free space t wrk), and see yur cwrkers in persn.
This persnal 47 stays crucial. At hme, yu can get yur wrk dne, but it's hard t 48 fresh ideas alne, in frnt f yur cmputer. It's als mre efficient t wrk remtely with clleagues when yu already knw them. If yu have met peple in real life, yu can jke and generally cmmunicate better with them remtely.
One f the best ways cmpanies can keep their remte and in - ffice emplyees 49 is by implementing virtual team - building activities that can help imprve cmmunicatin and unity in the wrkplace. This appears t be a cmmn 50 . Even thugh we miss ur in - persn scials, we 51 ur ties with each ther thrugh virtual scials and games. These prblems can be eased if we adpt hybrid mdels, where emplyees 52 their time between wrk and hme. Yu sacrifice certain advantages f permanent remte wrk. Meanwhile, yu get t feel part f the team.
The clearest benefit t hme wrkers is the 53 f the wrk - life balance. The idea is that yu can set yur wn schedule, as lng as yu get the wrk dne. But, in reality, many f us have truble switching ff, and the distractins f hme can 54 us. Furthermre, with a pr culture r management where emplyees are nt trusted, wrk frm hme may be even mre 55 . Perhaps managers want t ensure their emplyees remain prductive, ut in ding s, they may end up checking in t ften r stepping ver established wrk - life bundaries.

Sectin B (22')
Directins: Read the fllwing passages. Each passage is fllwed by several questins r unfinished statements. Fr each f them there are fur chices marked A, B, C and D. Chse the ne that fits best accrding t the infrmatin given in the passage yu have just read.
(A)
Tw years ag, I had a bad habit f waking up late fr wrk. Every mrning was the same — I'd start my shift, d the wrk and cunt the hurs until I culd lg ff. In the evenings, I played vide games. The next day, the cycle wuld repeat. Nw, while gaming remains a passin, I wake up early and my mrnings are dedicated t learning and writing befre my 9 - t - 5 begins. This shift started a dmin effect (多米诺效应): a new higher - paying jb and my wn apartment that I didn't have t share with strangers. Life didn't becme less demanding, but meaningfully busier. A key cmpnent f this transfrmatin? Gamificatin.
Vide games thrive n clear bjectives and prgress. Think f the main missin as yur verall gal and side missin as the milestnes alng the way. Cmpleting these "side missin" prvide a fld f dpamine (多巴胺), fueling cntinued engagement and self - imprvement. Last year my "main missin" was t becme a clud engineer. This required cnsistent learning and practical applicatin. The sub - gals included mastering prgramming and databases. Each newly acquired skill felt like pening up new pssibilities in my life.
Just as vide games track prgress thrugh skill pints, I needed a way t visualize my advancement. Measuring my grwth, even n days when I felt frustrated — everything I was studying was leaving my brain faster than it entered, ffered pwerful reassurance and reminded me that I was leveling up. It prvided cncrete feedback, highlighting hw far I'd cme and reducing the temptatin t quit. I diligently dcumented every new skill I acquired tward becming a clud engineer, cmparing it against the'requirements' and the 'nice t have' sectins f jb descriptins until I cvered everything.
In essence, I applied the principles f playing games t mtivate myself. Thrugh gamified thinking and the cnsistent cultivatin f psitive habits, I engineered my wn grwth.

The grammar schl by frm Stratfrd - upn - Avn has delivered a significant academic impact after grund - breaking research shwed that Shakespeare des benefit children’s literacy and emtinal develpment. But nly if yu act him ut. A study fund that a “rehearsal (彩排) rm” apprach t teaching Shakespeare expanded children’s vcabulary and writing cmplexity as well as their emtinal literacy.
“The research shws that the way actrs wrk makes a big difference t the way children use language and als hw they think abut themselves,” Jacqui O’Hanln f the Ryal Shakespeare Cmpany (RSC) said. “Allwing children t use their whle bdies t bring the text t life and t make chices abut character mtivatin had lng been thught t imprve literacy but nw the research supprted it”, she added. The randmized cntrl trial invlved hundreds f year 5 pupils at 45 state primary schls with n prir expsure t RSC pedaggy (教学法). They were split int target and cntrl grups and asked t write, fr example, a message in a bttle as Ferdinand after the shipwreck in The Tempest. The target grup was given a 30 - minute drama - based activity t accmpany the passage.
The peer - reviewed results shwed that the target grup f pupils tapped int a wider vcabulary, used wrds classed as mre cmplicated r rarer, and wrte at greater length. They als appear t be
mre cmfrtable writing in rle. While cntrl pupils imagine hw they themselves wuld react t being shipwrecked, target children put themselves in the shes f a literary character and express that character’s emtin. Anther study als fund that while cntrl pupils relied n “desert island clichés (陈词滥调)” such as palm trees, target pupils were mre expressive giving a brader picture f the sky, the sea and the atmspheric cnditins.
O’Hanln expressed surprise at the emtinal literacy in the target children’s writing, nting they were mre adaptable and hpeful. She stressed it was prbably related t the rehearsal rm prcess where yu were used t trying t imagine yur way thrugh. She als said mre research wuld be needed but suggested that Shakespeare’s use f 20,000 wrds, cmpared with the everyday 2,000 wrds, significantly enriches children’s language experience, especially when they engage their whle bdies t bring the wrds t life. She added: “The reasn we are perfrming Shakespeare’s wrk 400 years n is that there are s many different chices t make abut character mtivatin, the meanings f different kinds f speeches, the setting. Shakespeare is great at asking yu the questins rather than prviding clear answers, and that’s why it’s such an interesting and creative bdy f wrk t explre.”
63. Which f the fllwing learners’ activities fits the “rehearsal rm” apprach?
A. Physically perfrm Shakespeare’s wrks.
B. Emtinally reading Shakespeare’s plays.
C. Independently writing reviews f Shakespeare’s plays.
D. Regularly memrizing the lines f Shakespeare’s wrks.
64. What can we learn frm the peer - reviewed results?
A. Cntrl pupils generally write lnger pieces.
B. Target pupils prefer using cmmn vcabulary.
C. Target pupils better identify with literary characters.
D. Cntrl pupils fail t react t an imagined situatin.
65. O’Hanln wuld mst likely t agree that ________.
A. yung children demnstrate strng literacy and mtivatin
B. memrizing Shakespeare’s texts directly teaches emtinal skills
C. actrs’ perfrmance helps children’s language learning and reasning ability.
D. Shakespeare’s enduring ppularity lies in pen questins and diverse interpretatins
66. Which f the fllwing might be the best title f this passage?
A. Language’s Pwer: Writing in rle.
B. Shakespeare’s Magic: Learning by Acting.
C. A Discvery Jurney: Explring Shakespeare’s Wrld.
D. A Path t Grwth: Cnducting Drama - driven Research.
Sectin C (8')
Directins: Read the fllwing passage. Fill in each blank with a prper sentence given in the bx.
Each sentence can be used nly nce. Nte that there are tw mre sentences than yu need.
A. S we might think this training is gd fr the brain.
B. Hwever, that claim is mre likely t be a false belief.
C. Is it gd fr yur brain t use bth hands n purpse?
D. Can using yur nndminant hand imprve yur brain?
E. Ambidextrus peple can specialize in sprts invlving bth hands.
F. Ambidextrus peple aren't just able t thrw and catch a ball with their ppsite hand.
Des Being Ambidextrus Actually Make Yu Smarter?
Mst f us are firmly righty r lefty. We have the g - t hand we favr fr just abut everything. But there is a third type f handedness yu might have heard f: being ambidextrus.
If yu are ambidextrus, yu are equally skilled at using bth hands. But there's sme unnticeable difference—the key wrd is “equally”. 67 They are fully able t use bth hands fr fine mtr tasks like writing a nte r buttning their shirt.
Yu may have heard that ambidextrus peple are naturally mre creative. 68 “Our left and right brains are typically cnnected and wrking tgether when we d cmplex tasks, like creative pursuits,” says Walf, a neurscientist at Rensselaer Plytechnic Institute. “There is n clear evidence that being ambidextrus causes greater creativity.”
69 That's the millin - dllar questin. Yu may have heard that yu shuld switch t yur ppsite hand t d everyday tasks like brushing yur teeth because that habit will encurage brain neurplasticity—ur brain's prcess f adapting t challenges and frming new neural netwrks. It sunds gd in thery, but there is n evidence t supprt this habit, Walf says.
When we're training t use ur nndminant hand, “we assume there have been changes in brain adaptability. 70 But it might actually be advantageus fr the brain t be functinally specialized. That means sharing the same hemisphere fr similar tasks and engaging the ther ne fr different tasks,” she explains.
S the bttm line is yu shuld use whatever side feels cmfrtable, whether it's yur right r left hand—r bth if yu're ambidextrus.

Directins: Read the fllwing passage. Summarize the main idea and the main pints f the passage in n mre than 60 wrds. Use yur wn wrds as far as pssible.
I want t be a cntent creatr
In 2021, 1,000 children in the US were asked what they wuld like t be when they grew up. In the past, sprts star, pp star and astrnaut were the mst cmmn answers, but this is n lnger the case. While these ccupatins still feature significantly, scial-media cntent creatr r influencer nw has a clear lead, with twenty-nine percent f children naming this as their number-ne ambitin.
These findings are perhaps nt surprising; successful influencers are nw earning a great frtune every day and financial rewards are nt nly attractin. Scial media attaches imprtance t anther thing: it gives creatrs precise numbers that tell them exactly hw ppular--r famus--they are. T date, ne tp influencer culd have ver 100 millin fllwers and receive nearly 100 thusand "likes" fr a single pst. It seems that the benefits fr being a creatr are endless.
Hwever, as with many suppsedly desirable jbs, the reality may nt match the fantasy. Just as successful sprts stars endure tugh early-mrning training sessins and pp stars find themselves n endless, tiring flights, creatrs ften spend hurs sitting alne in frnt f a camera, repeating the same activities again and again. And while they always seem psitive and energetic, it's imprtant t remember that appearing t be happy is their jb. As a creatr puts it, "If cntent creatr is yur jb, yu need t get it dne whether yu feel like ding it r nt." Crprate spnsrs als cntrl what creatrs d and say--they pay influencers t prmte their prducts and services--s while scial media creatrs may seem t "be their wn bsses", this is rarely true.
Like sprts and music, scial media will remain a hbby fr mst yung peple, and fr many, it is a place where they can make friends and grw in cnfidence But when hbbies turn int their jbs, things change.

The saying "Dn't be afraid t make yur feet wet when yu are swimming"
cnveys a universal truth: when we are abut t explre an unknwn field
r learn a new skill, we shuld never be frightened f the small setbacks
and awkward experiences that cme with ur first attempt. Only by daring
t take the first step can we make real prgress.
I can well relate t this idea with my experience f learning t hst
campus events last year. I used t be extremely terrified f speaking in
frnt f crwds, s I always avided any public speaking task. Once I was
asked t hst the schl's New Year gala, I wanted t turn it dwn
immediately, but my teacher encuraged me with this very saying,
persuading me t give it a try. I started with memrizing shrt lines,
practicing in frnt f my family again and again, even thugh I ften
