The alarm rang in my ear. After silencing it, I remained in bed. My mtivatin t push ahead with my disappearing, which made it hard t face each new day. Cntinuing wuld risk a ttal breakdwn. With anxiety, I decided t cease my Ph.D. temprarily and take a 9-mnth psitin at a health care charity. Back when I lked fr Ph.D. psitins, I was unclear what I wanted t study. Fr me, the degree mstly served as a means t an end, securing mre interesting and higher-paid psitins in the private sectr than my master's degree wuld unlck. S I wasn't picky and reasned a variety f prjects wuld prvide the training and degree I wanted.
In hindsight（事后想来），I shuld have been mre selective. I ended up wrking n a prject I was technically capable f cmpleting but ver time felt full f disappintment. The purely academic research was intellectually interesting, yet I struggled t see hw it wuld make an impact n the wider real wrld.
Sme unexpected things amplified my truble. I started my prgram in 2020，when meetings were virtual and in-persn cntact was actively discuraged, s I had few pprtunities t frm persnal cnnectins with c-wrkers. Research became my nly fcus, and when my interest in that faded, my prject felt depressing.
After nly 1 mnth at the charity, it became clear that I'd made the right decisin. My mental health imprved and I fund it easier t cme int wrk. Things I did culd matter and energize me after all-if I chse wisely. That was exactly what I needed and desired. After that realizatin, I decided I wanted t return t my Ph.D. prgram and make changes. I tld my teacher I wasn't interested in the current research. T my relief, he was supprtive, and we redesigned the prject t better fit me. I will return t my prgram next mnth, ptimistic that this time will be different. But if it desn't g as I hpe, my charity experience has given me directin and cnfidence that I'll live a satisfying life, with r withut a Ph.D.
4．What did the authr view the Ph.D. degree as at first？

6．What des the underlined wrd "amplified" in paragraph 3 mean？
A.Reflected.B.Caused.C.Slved.D.Increased.
7．Hw did the charity wrk affect the authr？

I wanted t set myself the writing challenge f citing sme f the many psitive things abut having a baby. It's addressed t ne persn, but I hpe that thse wh find themselves at a similar crssrads get help frm it.
T my friend A,
All yu ever seem t hear abut parenthd is negative. I d nt feel this. Yu create a new life in that child, and with that baby, yu get a new life, t. When I became a mther, my wn mther's embrace, and my father's, nt t mentin my extended family's, have kept me ging.
We are used t hearing abut hw mtherhd limits yur life, less s abut hw it can expand it. I have always believed that life is fundamentally abut human relatinships, and having a baby has enhanced mine. Becming a mther—and giving birth—has enhanced my feelings f unity with ther wmen. Parenting has als allwed me t experience childhd again. I have always wanted t give smene else a childhd. My wide-eyed little by is at the stage where he is simply in lve with the wrld, and that lve is thrillingly uncnditinal. It is a privilege t witness, and it makes me determined t maintain it fr him as much as I am able t, because his laugh is the best sund that I have ever heard.
A nte abut sleep: yu will be OK—yu've had enugh wild nights t knw yu can cpe. And yu can get yur bdy back, whatever that might mean t yu. As fr yur career, it's nrmal t wrry. I speak nly fr myself when I say that I wish I had spent less time wrrying befrehand abut hw I wuld write. I have far less time, nw, but I'm still writing. Even a paragraph a day adds up t a nvel, eventually. There is s much untapped jy and lve there waiting fr yu, and I hpe I've given yu a small glimpse f sme f it t hld n t.

When yu ask peple t judge thers by their speech, a trend emerges: Listeners dislike disfluency. Slw talkers prducing lads f ums and pauses（停顿） are generally perceived as less charming. But science tells us there may be even mre t disfluency.
Disfluencies d nt ccur in arbitrary psitins in sentences. Ums typically ccur right befre mre difficult r lw-frequency wrds. Imagine yu’re having dinner with a friend at a restaurant, and there’re three items n the table: a knife, a glass, and a wine decanter（醒酒器）. Yur friend turns t yu and says, “Culd yu hand me ” What wuld yu assume they want? Since it’s unlikely that they will hesitate befre such cmmn wrds as knife, and glass, chances are yu’ll pick up the decanter and ask, “Yu mean this?”
This is exactly what we demnstrated thrugh cntrlled eye-tracking studies in ur lab. Apparently, listeners hear the um and predict that an uncmmn wrd is mst likely t fllw. Such predictins, thugh, reflect mre than just simple assciatin between disfluencies and difficult wrds; listeners are actively cnsidering frm the speaker’s pint f view. Fr example, when hearing a nn-native speaker say the same sentence but with a thick freign accent, listeners dn’t shw a preference fr lking at lw-frequency bjects. This is prbably because listeners assume nn-native speakers may have as much truble cming up with the English wrd fr a cmmn bject, like a knife, as fr unusual nes and can’t guess their intentin.
In anther experiment, listeners were presented with an uncmmn speaker wh prduced disfluencies befre simple wrds and never befre difficult wrds. Initially, participants displayed the natural predictive strategy: lking at uncmmn bjects. Hwever, as mre time went by, they gained experience with this uncmmn distributin f disfluencies. Listeners started t demnstrate the cntrary predictive behavir: They tended t lk at simple bjects when hearing the speaker say um.
These findings represent further evidence that the human brain is a predictin machine: We cntinuusly try t predict what will happen next, even thugh nt all disfluencies are created equal.
12．Which statement des the example in paragraph 2 supprt?
A．Pauses usually fllw uncmmn wrds.B．Slw talkers tend t pause mre.
C．Fluent speakers are unlikely t pause.D．Active listeners nly guess difficult wrds.
13．What des the authr say abut the nn-native speakers?
A．They can be understd easily.B．They actively put themselves in thers’ shes
C．Their vcabularies are limited.D．Their disfluencies are a little less predictive.
14．What des the experiment in paragraph 4 shw?
A．Simple things are difficult in sme cases.B．Listeners can adjust predictins accrdingly.
C．Distributin f disfluencies is changeable.D．Disfluencies in cmmunicatin can be avided.
15．Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the article?
A．Pauses Cexist with HesitatinB．Human Brains Have the Pwer t Predict
C．Active Listeners Simplify TalksD．Disfluency Says Mre than Yu Think
二、七选五

6．答案：D
解析：理解词汇题。画线词下文提到作者于2020年开始项目，当时会议是线上的，并且不鼓励面对面接触，所以作者很少有机会与同事建立个人联系。研究成为他唯一的关注点，当他对此的兴趣消退时，他的项目令人感到沮丧。这是作者在项目上遇到的困难。再结合上一段提到的作者对项目感到失望可知，画线词所在句应表示意料之外的事加大了他的苦恼。画线词所在句总结了第三段的内容，下文是对"Sme unexpected things"的解释说明。D项意为"增长，增加，增进，增强"，可解释画线词意思。

9．答案： B
解析：词句猜测题。句中的“The label”指的是上文Lery 在评论莫奈画作时用到的“Impresnists” 一词，即给莫奈贴上了“印象 派画家”的标签；stick 本意为“粘贴；固定住”,字面意思就是这个标签固定了，在语境下，也就是说从那以后人们都用“印象派”这 一名字了。故选B。
10．答案： C
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Luis Lery,an art critic(评论家),in his review f the exhibitin used the title f Mnet's painting as the headline,calling it the‘Exhibitin f Impressinists'.Lery had meant it irnically(反讽地)as the term ‘impressin'was used t describe a rapidly finished painting f an atmspheric effect,and artists rarely,if ever,exhibited pictures s quickly sketched. [艺术评论家Luis Lery在评论展览时用了莫奈的画作作为标题，称其为‘印象派的展览’。Lery 的意思是带有讽刺意味的，因为‘印象’这个词是用来形容一幅快速完成的、营造氛围效果的画作，而艺术家们很少(如果有的 话)展出这样的速写画。]”可知，Lery 是第一个使用“Impressinists”这个词的人。故选C。
11．答案： A
解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段“Mnet gets his place in the art timeline because f his leading rle in the impresinist art mvement,and thrugh the lasting appeal f his artistic style.The painting he titled Impressin:Sunrise,dne early in his career,may nt seem ne f Mnet's best paintings,but the big deal abut it is that it was the painting that gave impressinism its name.(由于他在印象派艺术运动中的领导作用，以及他的艺术风格的持久吸引力，莫奈在艺术史上占有一席之地。莫奈早 期创作的这幅名为《印象：日出》的画作，似乎不是他最好的画作之一，但重要的是，正是这幅画让印象派得名。)”以及纵观全文 可知，本文主要讲述了莫奈的名画《印象：日出》以及它对印象主义艺术流派的影响。故选A
12．答案：A
解析：词义猜测题。根据划线词后的Ums typically ccur right befre mre difficult r lw-frequency wrds (Ums通常出现在更难或低频的单词之
前)以及下文例子" Culd yu hand me ” What wuld yu assume they want? ("你能把…..嗯.…递给我吗?"你认为他们想要什么?)可知，"嗯”(不流畅表达中的一种)一般出现在比较难或不太经常使用的词汇前。由此可推测，不流畅表达在句子中出现的位置不是随意的，而是有规律可循的。故randm“随意的，任意的，随机的"可解释划线词意思。A.Randm任意的，随机的;B.Strategic有策略的;C.Obvius明显的;D.Cnsistent相一致的。故选A。
13．答案：D
解析：细节理解题。文章第三段讲到这可能是因为听众认为，非母语人士可能很难想出英语单词来表示一个常见的物体，比如一把刀，也很难想出不寻常的物体，而且无法猜测他们的意图。可知，作者认为非母语者的不流畅之处很难预测到。故选D。
14．答案：B
解析：细节理解题。文章第四段讲到然而，随着时间的推移，他们获得了这种非典型的不流畅分布的经验，听众开始表现出相反的预测行为:当听到演讲者说嗯时，他们倾向于看简单的物体。可知，第四段中的实验显示的是听众可以相应地调整预测。故选B。
15．答案：D
解析：标题归纳题。本文介绍了听者不喜欢不流畅的表达。说话迟缓且话中有大量的“嗯"和停顿的人通常被认为不那么有魅力。但科学研究发现不流畅传达的信息比人们认为的要多。文章第一段但科学告诉我们，不流畅可能还有更多。以及最后一段讲到这些发现进一步证明了人脑是一台预测机器:我们不断地试图预测接下来会发生什么。可知，故D项，不流畅传达的信息比你认为的要多。可以作为本文标题。故选D。
16．答案：GCDAE
解析：①空格前说“Everyne is faced with prblems at sme pint r the ther.(每个人都会在某个时间点面临问题)”，空格后说“The prblems, hwever, becme different when past strategies d nt wrk and there is n bvius slutin.(然而当过去的策略不起作用、没有明显的解决方案时，问题就会变得不同)”，因此空格处应说到人们可能会用过去的一些方法去解决问题，G选项“Many prblems can be slved by using methds we might have used befre.(许多问题可以用我们以前可能用过的方法来解决)”说明了人们会用过去的一些方法去解决问题，因此G选项承上启下，符合语境，故选G。
②空处位于段末应承接上文。空格前说“They cntinue thinking everything will disappear n its wn, s they fail t seek timely help. This des nt help the situatin in any way.(他们继续认为一切都会自行消失，所以他们没有及时寻求帮助。这对形势没有任何帮助)”，空格处将继续评论这种做法，C选项“instead, it can make the prblem bigger than befre.(相反，它会使问题变得比以前更大)”对这种做法继续进行评论，因此C选项承接上文，符合语境。故选C
③空格前说“Keeping a daily jurnal is the best way t slve deeper prblems that may be affecting yur peace f mind.(每天写日记是解决可能影响你内心平静的深层次问题的最好方法)”，空格后说“Smetimes, just by writing dwn issues, yu might get t see that a prblem isn't as big as yu are thinking.(有时候，仅仅通过写下问题，你可能会发现问题并不像你想的那么
大)”，因此空格处也应讲“写”方面的事情，D选项“S write dwn all the prblems yu are facing right nw.(所以写下你现在面临的所有问题)”讲的是写下问题，和空格前后内容相呼应因此D选项承上启下，符合语境，故选D。
④空格处是本段的主题句，由空格后的“Often ,t slve a prblem, yu need t test yur limits. Yu may have t take n certain challenges including learning smething new t imprve yurself.(通常，为了解决一个问题，你需要测试你的极限。你可能需要接受一些挑战，包括学习一些新的东西来提高自己)“可知，本段主要讲的是要挑战自己，A选项“Challenge yurself.(挑战自己)”概括本段内容，可作为主题句，故选A。
⑤本段主题句是“Seek help.(寻求帮助)”，空格后说“lf yu are still unable t slve the issue despite giving it much thught and attentin, seek help frm friends, clleagues, family r even prfessinals.(如果你花了很多心思和精力还是无法解决问题，那就向朋友、同事、家人甚至专业人士寻求帮助)”，因此空格处应说有的问题是靠自己解决不了的，E选项“Smetimes, certain prblems can't be slved n yur wn.(有时候:有些问题不能靠你自己解决)”说明了有的问题不能自己解决，和空格前后内容相互呼应，因此E选项开启下文，符合语境，故选E。
