細節理解題。根據Five-ingredient cookbook部分中的“If your loved one is a beginner chef (or can’t stand grocery shopping), they’ll enjoy this easy-to-follow cookbook from superstar chef Jamie Oliver, which includes simple and healthy recipes using only five ingredients each.(如果你的愛人是一名初級廚師（或無法忍受雜貨店購物），他們會喜歡這本超級明星廚師杰米·奧利弗的易于遵循的食譜，其中包括簡單健康的食譜，每種食譜只使用五種食材)”可知，這本五種配料的食譜是針對新手廚師的。故選C。
【2題詳解】
細節理解題。根據Reusable bags部分中的“With their multifunctionality and ease of use, these bags are perfect for meal preparation, snacks, and storing leftovers. They’ll even make their way into a jam-packed freezer.(這些袋子功能多樣，使用方便，非常適合準備餐食、零食和儲存剩菜。它們甚至可以放進一個堆滿東西的冰箱里)”可知，這些可重復使用的袋子的特點是多功能性，即用途廣泛。故選D。
【3題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據第一段“Tired of giving gifts that end up collecting dust on the shelf These thoroughly practical presents are guaranteed to please everyone on your shopping list.(厭倦了送那些最終在架子上積灰的禮物了嗎？這些非常實用的禮物一定會讓你購物清單上的每個人都滿意)”可知，這些禮物的共同點是它們都強調實用性和可用性。故選B。
B
Never judge a book by its cover — even if the cover doesn't say much at all. The first thing customers see when they walk into the Strand Book Store in Manhattan is a table of nameless books with covers wrapped like Christmas presents and titles replaced by general descriptions.The store calls it “Blind Date With a Book”.
People love it, Paul Colarusso, the communications director for the Strand, said, “We put it right at the front of the store because it quite literally stops people in their tracks.” “People are attracted to the element of surprise, which focuses attention and creates a dopamine (多巴胺) response,” Mr. Tobin, an associate professor at Case Western University, said. Meanwhile, stores have found a new way to sell books that are overlooked because they are not new, best-selling or penned by a famous author.
Much like real dating, there's no perfect science, and an element of trial and error is involved. Fantasy and mystery books work well. Forgotten books from the past are great too.
When in Rome by Sarah Adams is disguised as “Freshly Baked Slow Bum Rom-com”. SpoilerAlert by Olivia Dade becomes a “You’ ve Got Mail-esque Romance”.
But not all bookstores have embraced the trend. Dozens of bookstore owners around the country said they did not know what “Blind Date Books” were. Others didn't participate in the trend because store policy prohibits returns or exchanges which are necessary if someone has picked up a book they have already read.
On a warm Friday morning, the bookstore is packed. About half the customers stop at the “Blind Date Books” display by the entrance, closely inspecting the neatly drawn, wrapped covers. Heather Toner buys one. “Throwing caution to the wind and letting someone else choose for me just sort of feels like a nice change of pace,” Ms. Toner, a reader, said. “I never went on a real blind date. ‘Blind Date With a Book’ is kind of my speed.”
4. What makes “Blind Date With a Book” appealing to customers according to Mr. Tobin
A. The ability to choose specific titles.
B. The attractiveness of the packaging.
C. The excitement of an unforeseen choice.
D. The identification of dopamine response.
5. How does “Blind Date With a Book” benefit bookstores
A. It enriches customers' choices.
B. It satisfies readers' special needs.
C. It simplifies shopping procedures.
D. It helps market less-known books.
6. Why do some bookstores choose not to offer “Blind Date With a Book”
A. They believe the program misleads customers.
B. They oppose the idea of blind purchasing.
C. They focus on selling famous authors' books.
D. They find the program operationally impractical.
7. Which words best describe Heather Toner's attitude towards “Blind Date With a Book”
A. Open and adventurous. B. Cautious and reserved.
C. Tolerant and indecisive. D. Dismissive and skeptical.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【導語】這是一篇說明文。 這篇文章介紹了曼哈頓的斯特蘭書店推出的“盲選書籍”活動。該活動將書籍的封面包裝起來，只留下簡單描述，讓顧客在沒有任何先入為主印象的情況下挑選書籍。文章討論了這種活動帶來的顧客體驗、其背后的心理學原理，以及這一趨勢對書店銷售的影響。
【4題詳解】
細節理解題。根據第二段“People are attracted to the element of surprise, and the element of surprise focuses attention and creates a dopamine (多巴胺) response (人們被驚喜元素所吸引，而驚喜元素能夠集中注意力并引發多巴胺反應)”可知，顧客更喜歡“盲選書籍”是因為他們在這種不確定性中體驗到刺激和驚喜，激發了多巴胺的反應，產生興奮感。故選C。
【5題詳解】
細節理解題。根據第二段“Meanwhile, stores have found a new way to sell books that are overlooked because they are not new, best-selling or penned by a famous author. (與此同時，書店已經找到了一種銷售那些因為非新書、非暢銷書或非名家所著而被忽視的書籍的新方法。)”可知，這種活動幫助銷售那些被忽視的書籍，而這些書籍往往因為不是暢銷書或不是出自名作家之手而被忽視。故選D。
【6題詳解】
細節理解題。根據第五段“Others didn't participate in the trend because store policy prohibits returns or exchanges which are necessary if someone has picked up a book they have already read. (其他書店沒有跟風開展這項活動，是因為店內政策禁止退貨或換貨，然而當有人拿到一本自己已經讀過的書時，退貨或換貨又是必要的。)” 可知，一些書店選擇不提供 “盲選書籍” 活動是因為他們發現該活動在操作上不切實際，因為無法滿足顧客可能出現的退換貨需求。故選 D。
【7題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據最后一段““Throwing caution to the wind and letting someone else choose for me just sort of feels like a nice change of pace,” Ms. Toner, a reader, said. “I never went on a real blind date. ‘Blind Date With a Book’ is kind of my speed.”(讀者托納（Toner）女士說：“不顧一切讓別人替我選擇，感覺節奏很不錯，算是一種新鮮的改變。我從來沒有參加過真正的約會。‘盲選書籍’正合我的節奏。”)可知， Heather Toner 認為讓別人為自己挑選書籍是一種 “節奏的變化”，從她的話中可以看出，她認為這種方式感到輕松且充滿期待， 甚至將其比作一種適合自己的“盲約”，說明她對這種體驗持一種積極、開放的態度，同時又抱著試一試的心態。故選A。
C
For many students, math class is the subject of nightmares. Many who enthusiastically show off their counting skills in pre-school years later consider math class the most hated hour of the school day. The problem, according to a Stanford education professor, is a matter of mindset.
Jo Boaler, professor of mathematics education at Stanford, has studied how students learn math, to identify why so many students end up hating or fearing math, and, too often, underachieve. In her new book, Mathematical Mindsets, Boaler describes how society has traditionally valued one type of math learner — one who can memorize well and calculate fast—— as opposed to others who have the same potential but may be deeper, slower.
The“testing culture” in American schools is a major problem for math learners, Boaler said,noting that exams and tests are far more pervasive in math than other subjects. The combination of frequent testing, procedural teaching and uninteresting questions disconnected from students’lives causes many students to regard math as a“cold, lifeless subject” without a human connection.
. The good news is that any student's negative perception of math can dramatically change,Boaler said. She works with Stanford psychology Professor Carol Dweck to deliver growth mindset interventions to teachers and students. A“growth mindset” is built around the idea that most basic abilities can be developed and expanded upon through dedication and hard work. By contrast, with a“fixed mindset,” people believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits(特征).
“When we open up mathematics and teach broad, visual, creative math, then we teach math as a learning subject instead of as a performance subject,” Boaler said, “The outcome is that the subject becomes deeper and filled with more connections, so students enjoy it more and achieve at higher levels.”
Critics such as Marina Ratner, professor of mathematics at the University of California,express skepticism towards moving away from traditional methods. Math is math; there is no shortcut. They argue that without solid basic skills, students might struggle with subjects like alrohip(代數), let alone tackling any other higher-level STEM courses.
8. What problem is presented in the text
A. Students fear math due to abstract concepts.
B. There is a lack of standardized tests in math.
C. Math learners focus on advanced concepts too early.
D. Traditional math teaching discourages many students.
9. What does the word “pervasive” most likely mean in the third paragraph
A. Occasional. B. Demanding. C. Widespread. D. Unreasonable.
10. Which pair best describes the contrast between a growth mindset and a fixed mindset
A. Dynamic methods vs. standard methods.
B. Group learning vs. individual learning.
C. Improvable abilities vs. inborn abilities.
D. Long-term results vs. short-term results.
11. What is Marina Ratner’s attitude towards traditional methods of math teaching
A. Unclear. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Critical.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【導語】本文是一篇議論文，圍繞許多學生厭惡或懼怕數學這一問題展開討論。闡述了斯坦福大學教育教授 Jo Boaler 對該問題的研究，指出美國學校的 “測試文化” 等傳統數學教學方式是導致學生厭惡數學的主因，還介紹了 “成長型思維” 對改變學生對數學看法的作用，最后提及 Marina Ratner 等批評者對摒棄傳統教學方法的質疑。
【8題詳解】
細節理解題。根據第二段“In her new book, Mathematical Mindsets, Boaler describes how society has traditionally valued one type of math learner — one who can memorize well and calculate fast—— as opposed to others who have the same potential but may be deeper, slower.(在她的新書《數學思維模式》中，博勒描述了社會傳統上是如何看重一類數學學習者的 —— 這類學習者記憶力好、計算速度快 —— 而忽視了其他那些雖具有同樣潛力，但思維更深入、節奏更慢的學習者)”以及根據第三段“The combination of frequent testing, procedural teaching and uninteresting questions disconnected from students’lives causes many students to regard math as a“cold, lifeless subject” without a human connection.(頻繁的測試、程序化的教學以及與學生生活脫節的無趣問題，這些因素結合在一起，導致許多學生將數學視為一門“冰冷、毫無生氣且缺乏人文聯系”的學科)” 可知，傳統的數學教學方式讓很多學生對數學產生負面看法，從而失去興趣。所以傳統數學教學使許多學生失去信心。故選D。
【9題詳解】
詞義猜測題。根據第三段“The “testing culture” in American schools is a major problem for math learners, Boaler said, noting that exams and tests are far more pervasive in math than other subjects.(Boaler 說，美國學校的“測試文化”對數學學習者來說是一個主要問題，并指出考試在數學學科中比在其他學科中更為 pervasive)”，結合前文提到測試文化是大問題以及頻繁測試可知，考試在數學學科中應是廣泛存在的。故選C。
【10題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據第四段“A “growth mindset” is built around the idea that most basic abilities can be developed and expanded upon through dedication and hard work. By contrast, with a “fixed mindset,” people believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits(特征).(“成長型思維”基于這樣一種理念，即大多數基本能力可以通過專注和努力工作來發展和提升。相比之下，持“固定型思維”的人認為他們的基本特質，如智力或天賦，是固定不變的特征)” 可知，成長型思維認為能力可提升，固定型思維認為能力是天生不變的。選項 C“可提升的能力與天生的能力” 符合推斷，故選C。
【11題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據最后一段“Critics such as Marina Ratner, professor of mathematics at the University of California, express skepticism towards moving away from traditional methods. Math is math; there is no shortcut.(像加州大學數學教授 Marina Ratner 這樣的批評者，對摒棄傳統方法表示懷疑。他們認為數學就是數學，沒有捷徑)” 可知，Marina Ratner 對傳統數學教學方法持支持態度，不贊同輕易摒棄傳統方法。故選B。
D
Each year, the world loses about 10 million hectares of forest — an area about the size of Iceland — because of cutting down trees. At that rate, some scientists predict the world’s forests could disappear in 100 to 200 years. To handle it, now researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have pioneered a technique to generate wood-like plant materials in a lab. This makes it possible to “grow” a wooden product without cutting down trees.
In the lab, the researchers first take cells from the leaves of a young plant. These cells are cultured in liquid medium for two days, then moved to another medium which contains nutrients and two different hormones (激素). By adjusting the hormone levels, the researchers can tune the physical and mechanical qualities of the cells. Next, the researchers use a 3D printer to shape the cell-based material, and let the shaped material grow in the dark for three months. Finally, the researchers dehydrate (使脫水) the material, and then evaluate its qualities.
They found that lower hormone levels lead to plant materials with more rounded, open cells of lower density (密度), while higher hormone levels contribute to the growth of plant materials with smaller but denser cell structures. Lower or higher density of cell structures makes the plant materials softer or more rigid, helping the materials grow with different wood-like characteristics. What’s more, it’s to be noted that the research process is about 100 times faster than the time it takes for a tree to grow to maturity!
Research of this kind is ground-breaking. “This work demonstrates the great power of a technology,” says lead researcher, Jeffrey Berenstain. “The real opportunity here is to be at its best with what you use and how you use it. This technology can be tuned to meet the requirements you give about shapes, sizes, rigidity, and forms. It enables us to ‘grow’any wooden product in a way that traditional agricultural methods can’t achieve.”
12. Why do researchers at MIT conduct the research
A. To grow more trees.
B. To protect plant diversity.
C. To reduce tree losses.
D. To predict forest disappearance.
13. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the lab research
A. Its theoretical basis.
B. Its key procedures.
C. Its scientific evidence.
D. Its usual difficulties.
14. What does the finding suggest about the plant materials
A. The hormone levels affect their rigidity.
B. They are better than naturally grown plants.
C. Their cells’shapes mainly rely on their density.
D. Their growth speed determines their characteristics.
15. Why is the research ground-breaking according to Berenstain
A. It uses new biological materials in lab experiments.
B. It has a significant impact on worldwide plant growth.
C. It challenges traditional scientific theories in forestry.
D. It revolutionizes the way to make wooden products.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【導語】本文是新聞報道。文章主要介紹麻省理工學院的研究人員為了減少樹木損失而進行的一項研究。
【12題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據第一段“Each year, the world loses about 10 million hectares of forest — an area about the size of Iceland — because of cutting down trees.

(每年，全世界因砍伐樹木而損失約1000萬公頃森林，面積相當于冰島的大小。按照這個速度，一些科學家預測世界森林可能在100到200年內消失。為了解決這個問題，麻省理工學院（MIT）的研究人員開創了一種在實驗室中生成類似木材的植物材料的技術。這使得在不砍伐樹木的情況下“種植”木制品成為可能。)”可知，麻省理工學院的研究人員進行這項研究是為了減少樹木損失。故選C。
【13題詳解】
主旨大意題。根據第二段“In the lab, the researchers first take cells from the leaves of a young plant.

【14題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據第三段“They found that lower hormone levels lead to plant materials with more rounded, open cells of lower density (密度), while higher hormone levels contribute to the growth of plant materials with smaller but denser cell structures. Lower or higher density of cell structures makes the plant materials softer or more rigid, helping the materials grow with different wood-like characteristics. (他們發現，較低的激素水平會使植物材料的細胞更圓、更開放、密度更低，而較高的激素水平有助于細胞結構更小但密度更大的植物材料的生長。更低或更高密度的細胞結構使植物材料更柔軟或更堅硬，有助于材料生長出不同的類木特征。)”可知，這一發現表明激素水平會影響它們的剛性。故選A。
【15題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據最后一段“Research of this kind is ground-breaking. “This work demonstrates the great power of a technology,” says lead researcher, Jeffrey Berenstain. “The real opportunity here is to be at its best with what you use and how you use it. This technology can be tuned to meet the requirements you give about shapes, sizes, rigidity, and forms. It enables us to ‘grow’any wooden product in a way that traditional agricultural methods can’t achieve.” (這類研究具有開創性意義。首席研究員Jeffrey Berenstain說：“這項工作展示了一項技術的巨大力量。這里真正的機會是在你使用什么以及如何使用它方面達到最佳狀態。這項技術可以進行調整，以滿足你對形狀、尺寸、剛度和形式的要求。它使我們能夠以傳統農業方法無法實現的方式‘種植’木產品。”)”可知，在Jeffrey Berenstain看來，這項技術之所以具有開創性意義是因為它徹底改變了木制產品的生產方式。故選D。

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is a bestseller written by Stephen Covey. In this book, he proposes that to sow the seeds of success, we should move through three stages of maturity: dependence, independence and interdependence. ____16____
To move from being dependent upon others to becoming independew requires the development of three of the-essential habits. The first is to be proactive. ____17____ Instead, we are supposed to make things happen. Similarly, we must not wait for a problem to develop, but rather try to predict what the problem might be and then do something to prevent it from happening. The second habit is to visualize what we want to achieve so that we can think about how to go about achieving it. The third habit is to list your tasks in order of priority. ____18____
To become interdependent requires three habits that relate to the interactions with others. Firstly we need to search out solutions which allow us as well as our associates to experience success. Secondly, we should develop the ability to listen to and empathize with others. ____19____ Thirdly, we must understand the importance of teamwork, which helps us achieve those goals that we could not achieve on our own.
____20____ The last habit is to sharpen the saw, which surrounds all the other habits because it is the habit that makes the others possible. It is about renewing and enhancing the greatest property we have — us. Investing in our own education is essential if we are to progress in an upward spiral and achieve continued excellence.
A. We should resist the tendency to wait for things to happen.
B. Reaching interdependence allows us to realize our highest potential.
C. Essentially we must first understand others so that we can be understood.
D. He provides an in-depth exploration of the significance of these three stages.
E. In order to grow and develop through this process, Covey identifies seven habits.
F. Just reaching a state of interdependence is inadequate — we need to improve ourselves.
G. We should be committed to doing what we have to do before doing what we’d like to do.
【答案】16. D 17. A 18. G 19. C 20. F
【解析】
【導語】本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了Stephen Covey所著《高效能人士的七個習慣》中提到的成功需經歷的三個成熟階段，以及實現各階段所需的習慣。
【16題詳解】
上文“In this book, he proposes that to sow the seeds of success, we should move through three stages of maturity: dependence, independence and interdependence.(在這本書中，他提出要播下成功的種子，我們應該經歷三個成熟階段：依賴、獨立和相互依賴)”提到了三個成熟階段，D選項“He provides an in depth exploration of the significance of these three stages.(他對這三個階段的意義進行了深入探索)”承接上文，進一步說明對這三個階段的探討，句中“these three stages”與上文“dependence, independence and interdependence”相照應，上下文邏輯連貫。故選D項。
【17題詳解】
上文“The first is to be proactive.(第一個是要積極主動)”表明要積極主動，A選項“We should resist the tendency to wait for things to happen.(我們應該抵制等待事情發生的傾向)”與積極主動相呼應，說明不能被動等待，而要主動去做，上下文邏輯合理。故選A項。
【18題詳解】
上文“The third habit is to list your tasks in order of priority.(第三個習慣是按優先級列出你的任務)”強調按優先級安排任務，G選項“We should be committed to doing what we have to do before doing what we’d like to do.(我們應該在做我們想做的事情之前，先致力于做我們必須做的事情)”體現了按優先級做事的原則，與上文邏輯一致。故選G項。
【19題詳解】
上文“Secondly, we should develop the ability to listen to and empathize with others.(其次，我們應該培養傾聽和理解他人的能力)”強調要理解他人，C選項“Essentially, we must first understand others so that we can be understood.(從本質上講，我們必須先理解他人，這樣我們才能被理解)”進一步闡述了理解他人與被他人理解的關系，與上文邏輯相符。故選C項。
【20題詳解】
下文“The last habit is to sharpen the saw, which surrounds all the other habits because it is the habit that makes the others possible.(最后一個習慣第是“不斷的磨練”，這一習慣貫穿所有其他習慣——正是通過持續自我磨礪，才使得其他習慣的踐行成為可能)”說明要不斷提升自己，F選項“Just reaching a state of interdependence is inadequate —— we need to improve ourselves.(僅僅達到相互依賴的狀態是不夠的——我們需要提升自己)”引出下文關于自我提升的內容，上下文銜接自然。故選F項。

【36題詳解】

【38題詳解】
考查非謂語動詞。句意：在被反復攻擊時，它巧妙地躲開了大部分攻擊，展現出了出色的反應能力。“While (strike) repeatedly”作時間狀語，strike(攻擊)是非謂語動詞，與其邏輯主語it(指代機器人)之間是被動關系，用過去分詞表被動。故填struck。
【39題詳解】
考查冠詞。句意：宇樹科技強調，該機器人使用了動作捕捉系統，使其能夠達到高級水平并不斷提高自身能力。可數名詞level在句中表示“一個高級水平”，泛指，且advanced是發音以元音音素開頭的單詞，用不定冠詞an修飾。故填an。

【42題詳解】
考查非謂語動詞。句意：宇樹科技是今年計劃大規模生產集成人工智能的人形機器人的六家中國機器人公司之一。“(plan) to mass produce AI integrated humanoid robots this year”作后置定語，plan(計劃)是非謂語動詞，與其邏輯主語robotics firms之間是主動關系，用現在分詞表主動。故填planning。
【43題詳解】
考查形容詞最高級。句意：中國已經是全球最大的工業機器人市場，占全球機器人安裝量的一半以上。結合定冠詞“the”和比較范圍“globally”可知，用最高級largest作定語，意為“最大的”。故填largest。
【44題詳解】
考查時態語態和主謂一致。句意：據《財富商業洞察》報道，去年，中國工業機器人市場價值超過60億美元。value(給……估價)是謂語動詞，與主語the country’s industrial robot market之間是被動關系，根據時間狀語“last year”可知，講述過去的事情用一般過去時的被動語態，主語是單數名詞，謂語動詞用單數形式was valued。故填was valued。
【45題詳解】

Final exams were approaching, and everyone in school was excited about vacations. We were dreaming of far-off destinations, our minds filled with images of thrilling adventures.
After school on Friday, on my way home, I ran into my best friend. Enthusiastic about the vacations, I asked him about his plans. His eyes twinkled brightly as he replied, “I’m going to visit my grandparents with my parents for a week.”
“Don’t you ever get tired of going to the same place year after year I remember, every year, your family takes 7 to 10 days off to head back to your native village,” I asked, raising an eyebrow in curiosity.
“Oh, not at all! That’s the absolute best time of the year for me! Being with my folks in the village is just amazing.” His face beamed with joy as he continued, "In the village, I get to meet so many wonderful people, and everyone there is so kind and welcoming. Our neighborhood crew is tight! We’re always hanging out together, you know Just running wild, chilling by the lake, or bouncing between each other’s houses. Honestly, I know what really matters about these village trips. It’s not the cool places we see — it’s spending time with the people I love. That’s the real treasure of life.”
His words made me recall my own grandparents. I realized I hadn’t seen them for years. But still, it’s a pleasure to be there. … we had big long gardens and a big multi-story house.
The next day, over breakfast, I mustered up the courage and asked my parents, “Can we visit grandparents this summer after exams ” Dad replied hesitantly, “Oh, that’s unexpected.” Mom was surprised. “Well, you know it gets really hot there this time of year.” After a short pause, Dad gave a small sigh and met my hopeful gaze. “However,” he said, “if you perform well in exams, we’ll make the trip.”
For the next six weeks, I threw myself completely into my studies. My mom was amazed by this sudden transformation in me. Soon came the long-awaited exam results.

【答案】One possible version:
I rushed home and immediately handed my parents my score card and a note with “PLEASE.” This time, they instantly agreed. The next day, we set out for our hometown. Every one, be it relatives or neighbors, greeted us with smiles, treating me like their own son. Every day brought new happiness –- digging with Grandpa in the garden, playing games with cousins until sunset, roaming around familiar streets with loved ones and even joining the local kids in their football matches. The days passed as we had a wonderful time together. Truth be told, everything was more fun in a big family. When departure day came, my heart ached.
I saw my mom had tears in her eyes when leaving them. She wiped them away and smiled, saying, “I didn’t realize how much I missed the village until now. It’s not just a place; it’s where our roots are.” As we drove away, I felt a mix of excitement and nostalgia. I realized that the real adventure wasn’t about exploring far-off places but about reconnecting with family and our heritage. This trip wasn’t just for me; it was a reminder for all of us that family is the true treasure of life. From then on, visiting Grandma and Grandpa became our annual tradition, a time to cherish love, laughter, and the simple joys of being together.

Never judge a book by its cover — even if the cover doesn't say much at all. The first thing customers see when they walk into the Strand Book Store in Manhattan is a table of nameless books with covers wrapped like Christmas presents and titles replaced by general descriptions.The store calls it “Blind Date With a Book”.
People love it, Paul Colarusso, the communications director for the Strand, said, “We put it right at the front of the store because it quite literally stops people in their tracks.” “People are attracted to the element of surprise, which focuses attention and creates a dopamine (多巴胺) response,” Mr. Tobin, an associate professor at Case Western University, said. Meanwhile, stores have found a new way to sell books that are overlooked because they are not new, best-selling or penned by a famous author.
Much like real dating, there's no perfect science, and an element of trial and error is involved. Fantasy and mystery books work well. Forgotten books from the past are great too.
When in Rome by Sarah Adams is disguised as “Freshly Baked Slow Bum Rom-com”. SpoilerAlert by Olivia Dade becomes a “You’ ve Got Mail-esque Romance”.
But not all bookstores have embraced the trend. Dozens of bookstore owners around the country said they did not know what “Blind Date Books” were. Others didn't participate in the trend because store policy prohibits returns or exchanges which are necessary if someone has picked up a book they have already read.
On a warm Friday morning, the bookstore is packed. About half the customers stop at the “Blind Date Books” display by the entrance, closely inspecting the neatly drawn, wrapped covers. Heather Toner buys one. “Throwing caution to the wind and letting someone else choose for me just sort of feels like a nice change of pace,” Ms. Toner, a reader, said. “I never went on a real blind date. ‘Blind Date With a Book’ is kind of my speed.”
4. What makes “Blind Date With a Book” appealing to customers according to Mr. Tobin
A. The ability to choose specific titles.
B. The attractiveness of the packaging.
C. The excitement of an unforeseen choice.
D. The identification of dopamine response.
5. How does “Blind Date With a Book” benefit bookstores
A. It enriches customers' choices.
B. It satisfies readers' special needs.
C. It simplifies shopping procedures.
D. It helps market less-known books.
6. Why do some bookstores choose not to offer “Blind Date With a Book”
A. They believe the program misleads customers.
B. They oppose the idea of blind purchasing.
C. They focus on selling famous authors' books.
D. They find the program operationally impractical.
7. Which words best describe Heather Toner's attitude towards “Blind Date With a Book”
A. Open and adventurous. B. Cautious and reserved.
C. Tolerant and indecisive. D. Dismissive and skeptical.

For many students, math class is the subject of nightmares. Many who enthusiastically show off their counting skills in pre-school years later consider math class the most hated hour of the school day. The problem, according to a Stanford education professor, is a matter of mindset.
Jo Boaler, professor of mathematics education at Stanford, has studied how students learn math, to identify why so many students end up hating or fearing math, and, too often, underachieve. In her new book, Mathematical Mindsets, Boaler describes how society has traditionally valued one type of math learner — one who can memorize well and calculate fast—— as opposed to others who have the same potential but may be deeper, slower.
The“testing culture” in American schools is a major problem for math learners, Boaler said,noting that exams and tests are far more pervasive in math than other subjects. The combination of frequent testing, procedural teaching and uninteresting questions disconnected from students’lives causes many students to regard math as a“cold, lifeless subject” without a human connection.
. The good news is that any student's negative perception of math can dramatically change,Boaler said. She works with Stanford psychology Professor Carol Dweck to deliver growth mindset interventions to teachers and students. A“growth mindset” is built around the idea that most basic abilities can be developed and expanded upon through dedication and hard work. By contrast, with a“fixed mindset,” people believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits(特征).
“When we open up mathematics and teach broad, visual, creative math, then we teach math as a learning subject instead of as a performance subject,” Boaler said, “The outcome is that the subject becomes deeper and filled with more connections, so students enjoy it more and achieve at higher levels.”
Critics such as Marina Ratner, professor of mathematics at the University of California,express skepticism towards moving away from traditional methods. Math is math; there is no shortcut. They argue that without solid basic skills, students might struggle with subjects like alrohip(代數), let alone tackling any other higher-level STEM courses.
8. What problem is presented in the text
A. Students fear math due to abstract concepts.
B. There is a lack of standardized tests in math.
C. Math learners focus on advanced concepts too early.
D. Traditional math teaching discourages many students.
9. What does the word “pervasive” most likely mean in the third paragraph
A. Occasional. B. Demanding. C. Widespread. D. Unreasonable.
10. Which pair best describes the contrast between a growth mindset and a fixed mindset
A. Dynamic methods vs. standard methods.
B. Group learning vs. individual learning.
C. Improvable abilities vs. inborn abilities.
D. Long-term results vs. short-term results.
11. What is Marina Ratner’s attitude towards traditional methods of math teaching
A. Unclear. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Critical.
D
Each year, the world loses about 10 million hectares of forest — an area about the size of Iceland — because of cutting down trees. At that rate, some scientists predict the world’s forests could disappear in 100 to 200 years. To handle it, now researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have pioneered a technique to generate wood-like plant materials in a lab. This makes it possible to “grow” a wooden product without cutting down trees.
In the lab, the researchers first take cells from the leaves of a young plant. These cells are cultured in liquid medium for two days, then moved to another medium which contains nutrients and two different hormones (激素). By adjusting the hormone levels, the researchers can tune the physical and mechanical qualities of the cells. Next, the researchers use a 3D printer to shape the cell-based material, and let the shaped material grow in the dark for three months. Finally, the researchers dehydrate (使脫水) the material, and then evaluate its qualities.
They found that lower hormone levels lead to plant materials with more rounded, open cells of lower density (密度), while higher hormone levels contribute to the growth of plant materials with smaller but denser cell structures. Lower or higher density of cell structures makes the plant materials softer or more rigid, helping the materials grow with different wood-like characteristics. What’s more, it’s to be noted that the research process is about 100 times faster than the time it takes for a tree to grow to maturity!
Research of this kind is ground-breaking. “This work demonstrates the great power of a technology,” says lead researcher, Jeffrey Berenstain. “The real opportunity here is to be at its best with what you use and how you use it. This technology can be tuned to meet the requirements you give about shapes, sizes, rigidity, and forms. It enables us to ‘grow’any wooden product in a way that traditional agricultural methods can’t achieve.”
12. Why do researchers at MIT conduct the research
A. To grow more trees.
B. To protect plant diversity.
C. To reduce tree losses.
D. To predict forest disappearance.
13. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the lab research
A. Its theoretical basis.
B. Its key procedures.
C. Its scientific evidence.
D Its usual difficulties.
14. What does the finding suggest about the plant materials
A. The hormone levels affect their rigidity.
B. They are better than naturally grown plants.
C. Their cells’shapes mainly rely on their density.
D. Their growth speed determines their characteristics.
15. Why is the research ground-breaking according to Berenstain
A. It uses new biological materials in lab experiments.
B. It has a significant impact on worldwide plant growth.
C. It challenges traditional scientific theories in forestry.
D. It revolutionizes the way to make wooden products.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is a bestseller written by Stephen Covey. In this book, he proposes that to sow the seeds of success, we should move through three stages of maturity: dependence, independence and interdependence. ____16____
To move from being dependent upon others to becoming independew requires the development of three of the-essential habits. The first is to be proactive. ____17____ Instead, we are supposed to make things happen. Similarly, we must not wait for a problem to develop, but rather try to predict what the problem might be and then do something to prevent it from happening. The second habit is to visualize what we want to achieve so that we can think about how to go about achieving it. The third habit is to list your tasks in order of priority. ____18____
To become interdependent requires three habits that relate to the interactions with others. Firstly, we need to search out solutions which allow us as well as our associates to experience success. Secondly, we should develop the ability to listen to and empathize with others. ____19____ Thirdly, we must understand the importance of teamwork, which helps us achieve those goals that we could not achieve on our own.
____20____ The last habit is to sharpen the saw, which surrounds all the other habits because it is the habit that makes the others possible. It is about renewing and enhancing the greatest property we have — us. Investing in our own education is essential if we are to progress in an upward spiral and achieve continued excellence.
A. We should resist the tendency to wait for things to happen.
B. Reaching interdependence allows us to realize our highest potential.
C. Essentially, we must first understand others so that we can be understood.
D. He provides an in-depth exploration of the significance of these three stages.
E. In order to grow and develop through this process, Covey identifies seven habits.
F. Just reaching a state of interdependence is inadequate — we need to improve ourselves.
G. We should be committed to doing what we have to do before doing what we’d like to do.

47. 閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
Final exams were approaching, and everyone in school was excited about vacations. We were dreaming of far-off destinations, our minds filled with images of thrilling adventures.
After school on Friday, on my way home, I ran into my best friend. Enthusiastic about the vacations, I asked him about his plans. His eyes twinkled brightly as he replied, “I’m going to visit my grandparents with my parents for a week.”
“Don’t you ever get tired of going to the same place year after year I remember every year, your family takes 7 to 10 days off to head back to your native village,” I asked, raising an eyebrow in curiosity.
“Oh, not at all! That’s the absolute best time of the year for me! Being with my folks in the village is just amazing.” His face beamed with joy as he continued, "In the village, I get to meet so many wonderful people, and everyone there is so kind and welcoming. Our neighborhood crew is tight! We’re always hanging out together, you know Just running wild, chilling by the lake, or bouncing between each other’s houses. Honestly, I know what really matters about these village trips. It’s not the cool places we see — it’s spending time with the people I love. That’s the real treasure of life.”
His words made me recall my own grandparents. I realized I hadn’t seen them for years. But still, it’s a pleasure to be there. … we had big long gardens and a big multi-story house.
The next day, over breakfast, I mustered up the courage and asked my parents, “Can we visit grandparents this summer after exams ” Dad replied hesitantly, “Oh, that’s unexpected.” Mom was surprised. “Well, you know it gets really hot there this time of year.” After a short pause, Dad gave a small sigh and met my hopeful gaze. “However,” he said, “if you perform well in exams, we’ll make the trip.”
For the next six weeks, I threw myself completely into my studies. My mom was amazed by this sudden transformation in me. Soon came the long-awaited exam results.
