You have grand ambitions: to start a business, to write a book. But chances are you work long hours, or household responsibilities consume your days. By the time you finish all you have to do, you will have had no energy 21____________ anything you want to do beyond turning on the TV.
Yet some busy people do make time for their priorities. The secret is giving the most attention to 22____________ at the very beginning of a day. They get up earlier than they have to. Morning by morning, they make progress on something 23____________ matters.
It ’s not fun to force yourself out of bed, but these early hours are often the best time to do things for yourself. With a little schedule reorganization, 24____________ (become) a morning person is more doable than you think.
I first learned that mornings 25____________ be transformational years ago, when I was studying a busy lawyer ’s schedule. She wanted to spend mo me with her son, but she had little control over when she left work. This state of affairs kept her sad 26____________ she realized she and her son were both early risers and the morning time could be made full use of. After thinking it through, the lawyer decided to get up even earlier. Then,when the boystepped into the dining room, she 27____________ (finish) preparing a rich breakfast so they two could enjoy the meal to the fullest together.
Mornings are also great for focused thinking. Get up an hour earlier, and you
can knock out your most important task of the day. Or you can spare some time for those creative desires 28____________ (bury) deep in your heart and hard to nurture.
But many will argue: I ’m not a morning person! The fact is that there are not so many true night owls. When most people take an honest look at 29____________ they ’re spending the hours before bed, they ’ll find they have wasted much time on the TV programs they don ’t mean 30____________ (watch). Also, they often browse through photos on social media of people they didn ’t like in high school anyway.
A better approach is to sleep earlier, rise earlier and turn unproductive
evening hours into productive morning hours.

According to a Manhattan Institute survey, more than half of high-earning New Yorkers are working entirely from home and 44% are considering leaving the city. Ned Lamont, Connecticut ’s governor, has said “the old idea of th c e ommuter (通 勤者) going into New York City five days a week may be outdated . ” It does seem 31________ that the tens of thousands commuting from Mr. Lamont ’s stat e will continue to do so. The region ’s governors have 32________ well together to deal with the pandemic (流行病), but the friendliness may soon end over taxes.
When people from 33________ states like New Jersey and Connecticut commute to New York to work for a New York-based employer, they must pay New York tax on the related earned income. Even those who work from home must pay New York taxes unless the employee is working outside New York by 34________.
Taxpayers and those states are looking closely at this loophole (漏洞). In December, Connecticut and New Jersey applied to the Supreme Court to consider a case which 35________ a state ’s authority to tax non-residents ’ income while they are working remotely. They think this is definitely a(n) 36________ to the city ’s finances . “Firms have considered leaving the city before, ane ployees are gradually accepting the idea. They have been working remotely for almost ten months and they ’ve 37________ to that idea . ”
Companies are also watching the progression of the Billionaire Mark to Market
Tax Act, which would treat capital 38________ from billionaires ’ property as taxable income. New York ’s Democratic governor said he would reject any laws 39________ heavy taxes on the rich, because it would drive out wealthy, mobile residents. It would not take too many moving trucks for the city to feel the economic loss, says Michael Hendrix. A 5% 40________ of New Yorkers making about $10,000 would result in an annual loss of $933m —roughly the amount distributed to the city ’s health department.

Type the words “kind of ’ or “perhaps ” into an email in Microsoft Outlook and the program might well tell you to think again.

To me, this suggestion precisely expresses something we’ve got wrong in society. We live in a world that __43__ those who speak with confidence—even when that is misplaced—and gives very little opportunity to perform to those who __44__ doubt. “We tend to listen to those experts who tell us a simple, clear and confident story. Why? Because that’s __45__ satisfying,” says Dan Gardner, author of Future Babble, “That’s saying ‘let me sweep away the uncertainty for you’. ”
Research shows that the human brain is “programmed” to hate __46__: a 2022 study found that when volunteers were given electric shocks, their stress levels were highest when they had no idea whether they were going to be given a shock—higher even than subjects who were told they would __47__ get one.
We should first know that while confident-sounding experts might be giving us what our brains desire, the __48__ they are providing is probably false. Psychologist Philip Tetlock divided up forecasters into “foxes” and “hedge hogs”. Foxes consider all sorts of different approaches and perspectives, and combine those into distinct conclusions. __49__, hedgehogs tend to view the world through the lens of one single defining idea. That makes the hedgehogs __50__ forecasters but more likely to get attention.
Perhaps we care less about the truth and more about enjoying some sense of __51__ however short-lived that might be. But wouldn’t it be better if we held experts to account? Mr. Gardner suggests tagging speakers with some kind of record of previous __52__ much as we are given performance statistics for racehorses or baseball players.
Highly confident statements also __53__ polarization (两极化), encouraging others to respond in the same kind of language when they disagree. “There’s a natural tendency to push back with equal amounts of __54__ says Daniel Drezner, a political scientist.
Is it time to give a bit more attention to the __55__? Full of certainty on the need to stop paying so much attention to those expressing certainty, I say yes.

Hazel Mayfield usually cooks the Thanksgiving meal for her extended family
in Houston, Texas. She usually welcomes friends and neighbors who are eager to
taste her fried turkey, green bean casserole, candied yams, homemade cornbread dressing, and dirty rice—just a few of her signature dishes. Known as Sugar Mama, because her grandchildren thinkshe’s so sweet, the 9 year-old typically likes
to do her own shopping for the ingredients to make her special dishes.
“My mother is the head cook of the family,”said Panulette Mouton, Mayfield’s daughter. “Because of h er reputation, you know, there’re people in
and out all day and every family comes through. They want to get some of Sugar Mama’s cooking, and some of them would like to learn from her how to cook the food. ”
But Mayfield hasn’t been to the grocery store since March. And there is little
about Thanksgiving in 2022 that’s usual. Because of Covi19, the deadly virus
that has killed millions in the U.S. and spoiled life around the world, everything
is different. Since limiting close face-to-face contact with others is the best
way to reduce its spread,hundreds of thousands of American families have
re-imagined the holidaywith virtual celebrations and canceled or delayed travel plans. There can only be small gatherings with people in their households in response to COVID-19.
This year, Mayfield’
absence of a big gathering.They’ve explained to their young children and grandchildren why this year’s Thanksgiving is different. Mayfield’s youngest daughter, Michelle Sanders, says it’s tough to help her grandchildren understand
why they can’t see some of their other family members and why they have to stay
at home, celebrating Thanksgiving all by themselves.
“It’s really hard, trying to explain to them,” Sanders said. “When- you’re
talking to them and they want to come over, you have to tell them no. They really don’t know how to be careful. ” Sanders added, “And, they don’t understand that, being three, four, and six, you know they don’t really understand that. So, it’s...it’s really, really hard, and heartbreaking. ”

A. Children are too young to understand the situation.
B. Children are always careless on Thanksgiving Day.
C. It’s tough to help children overcome their problems.
D. Adults should show patience when talking with kids.
59. What do we know about the effect of COVID-19 according to the passage?

Picture this: it’s the late 1970s and the punk music scene is starting
to take hold. The band releases the album ParallelLines, which becomes the greatest hit. Everyone wants to attend her concert and some teenage girls even dream to
be her. Now 75, Harry bares all about herself in Face It, starting from her childhood. Part shocking, this book is as humorous, moving and vigorous as its subject.

If there is no obvious connection among what we see, the brain will substitute in the rest of the information without you even noticing, Beck
says in the chapter Memory. In this “user’s guide for your brain”, he argues that mistakes are the keys to success.He combines science with
brain-boosting advice and real-life stories to take the reader on a fascinating adventure through human memory.

PENGUINE RANDOM HOUSE
When was the last time you listened to someone? Really listened without thinking about what you wanted to say next? And when was the last time someone really listened to you? Compared with talking, listening isn’t considered so important, argues journalist Kate Murphy, but she insists it is actually the more powerful position in communication. Her insights could transform your conversations, your relationships and your life.

Every profession or trade, every art, and every science has its technical vocabulary, the function of which is partly to name things, or processes which
have no names in ordinary English, and partly to secure greater exactness in terminology (术语). Such special dialects are necessary in technical discussion of any kind. Being universally understood by those engaged or interested in the particular science or art, they have the accurateness of a mathematical formula (公式). Besides, they save time in these kinds of discussions, for it is much more
Different occupations,however,differ widely in the character of their special vocabularies. In trades and handicrafts, and other professions, like farming and fishery, which have occupied great numbers of men from remote times, the technical vocabulary is very old. It consists largely of native words, or of borrowed words that have worked themselves into the very central part of our language. Thus, though highly technical in many particulars, these vocabularies are more familiar in sound,and more generally understood,than most other technical terms. In law, medicine, and philosophy, the special dialects have also become pretty familiar to cultivated persons and have contributed much to the popular vocabulary. Yet among these professions, each one still possesses a large body of technical terms that remain essentially foreign, even to educated speech. And the proportion has increased in the last fifty years, particularly in the various departments of natural and political science and in the mechanic arts. Here new terms are coined with the greatest freedom, and abandoned when they have served their turn. Most of the newly-invented terms are restricted to special discussions, and seldom get into general literature or conversation.
Yet no profession is nowadays,as all professions once were, a close combination. Lawyers, doctors and men of science all communicate freely with others, not in a merely professional way. Furthermore, what is called “popular scie nce”makes everybody familiar with modem views and recent discoveries. Any important experiment, though made in a remote or provincial laboratory, is at once reported online, and everybody is soon talking about it—as in the case of AI.
63. What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean?
A. Technical terms which are not easy to use properly will not be welcome.
B. People who live in d ntown don’t have a preference for technical terms.
C. Technical terms are not widely employed though common in dictionaries.
D. Suburban people favor technical terms for they often appear in dictionaries.
64. What can be inferred from the second paragraph?
A. There are more ancient words in trades and handicrafts than in philosophy.
B. Most newly invented terms are usually put into use in daily conversations.
C. Most new technical terms will be abandoned for few can understand them.
D. Educated people are familiar with the special dialects in technological
fields.
65. Which of the following can best summarize the last paragraph?
A. Technical terms take on a rather different look as modem society develops
quickly.
B.People can well comprehend technical terms without much professional
knowledge.
C. Interchange among professions and faster spread of information popularize
technical terms.
D. Advanced ways of communication give a helping hand to the rapid spread of
technical terms.
66. According to the passage, we can conclude that _____.
A. there were once closer relationships among different professions
B. using technical vocabularies in daily discussions is trouble-saving
C. the main function of technical terms is to name newly-invented things
D. one reason why technical terms come into being is to ensure accuracy
: Completethe followingpassageby using the sentencesin the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.
A. This applies to face recognition, as is often the case.
B. As a matter of fact, it is advancing in the online field, too.
C. What face recognition needs is strict and urgent regulation.
D. But the prohibitions are so limited that they are hardly bans at all.
E. And it’s even less accurate for some minorities, which risks worsening rac ial
issues.
panies cannot let market make a final decision on the future of new
technology.
Calls to stop the use of face recognition technology are growing louder, but
it is already too late. Given its widespread use by tech companies and the police,
a permanent roll back is impossible.
The European Commission is considering temporarily banning the use of the technology in public spaces, giving politicians in Europe time to develop measures
to reduce the potential risks of face recognition systems. Some US cities, such
as San Francisco, have already implemented bans.
67__________ Public areas make up a small proportion of the physical spaces
we inhabit. What about the many that are privately owned, such as shops, schools and museums, in which face recognition is steadily being rolled out, sometimes
without our knowledge?
Most of us now associate face recognition with CCTV cameras (闭路电视摄像
机). 68__________ Facebook, for example, runs face recognition on users’ photos
to automatically identify them in other images on the site,which has been functioning for years. Russian search engine Yandex has a smart search function that, given one image of a face, can find pictures online of the same person even in different poses and lighting conditions.
Other concerns relate to the fact that the technology is imperfect.An independent analysis of a face recognition trial by London’s Metropolitan Police found that 81 per cent of matches the system flagged to a watch list of suspects were incorrect. 69__________
So what is the possiblesolution? When we consider both the rate at which the technology is developing and its widespread use nowadays, it is crystal-clear that
a ban on its use in public spaces would be too little, too late. 70__________ A
set of effective rules on when and how it can be used needs to be decided quickly. Face recognition technology is here to stay; implementing a temporary ban would
be the regulatory equivalent of burying our faces in the sand.
point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Some of the Earth’s creatures die mainly because of humans’ choices. These choices have nothing to do with food or shelter or anything else that helps humans survive. What kills millions of animals all over the world is that humans want
to make money by doing so. People use parts of animals for everything from hats
to handbags, from jewelry to ashtrays and to make powders that supposedly improve
a person’s life.
It is comforting to note that in the past decades, saving endangered animals has become a popular cause. Let’s take saving elephants as an example. For a long while in the late 1980s, wildlife protection groups made sure everyone saw pictures
or films of elephants with their faces cut off for their ivory. These groups also proved that certain populations of elephants are decreasing. As a result, most people stopped buying objects made of ivory. Laws against poaching (偷猎) were made stronger. Many countries made importing ivory illegal. Killing elephants for their ivory became more risky and less profitable.
However, deciding that a species is endangered and protecting it by law are
not always enough, as concern for certain species will become weak after a while.
In the late 1970s, people protested against the killing of seal babies. Everyone
was shocked to see young seals being killed in their icy habitat. The cruel activity stopped. But ten years later, the number of seal babies killed was higher than ever.
Other animal protecting movements have come and gone, such as saving the whales and protecting dolphins. The whale population appears to have increased for now. And the laws are finally changed in America to protect the dolphins that swim with tuna fish in parts of the Pacific Ocean. In the years to come, people’s focus will probably turn to some other endangered species. During this time, will the elephants be forgotten?
