Disney.Johannes Fritz, an Austrian biologist, needed to come up with a plan again if he was going to prevent his rare and beloved birds from going extinct.To survive the European winter, the northern bald ibis needs to migrate south for the winter over the Alps. But shifting climate patterns have delayed when the birds begin to migrate and they are now reaching the mountains too late to make it over the peaks, locking them in an icy death trap. Determined to save them, he decided to teach the birds a new, safer migration route by guiding them himself in a tiny aircraft. He was confident that he could succeed in this daring, unconventional plan.the last in the wild, causing the birds to disappear entirely from the wild. When Mr. Fritz was born 56 years ago, the northern bald ibis could be found in Europe only in captivity (圈养) .Mr.Fritz has spent his career reintroducing the birds into the wild. Through years of trial and error, he learned to fly like a bird. He modified (改装) a lightweight aircraft so it would fly at speeds slow enough for the birds to keep up. In 2004, he led the first flock from Austria to Italy, and has since led more migrations. But the route he originally taught the ibises does not work successfully. With climate change warming the area where the birds summer, they now start their migration at the end of October instead of the end of September. The trip is expected to take about six weeks, “Still, we’re optimistic that it’ll work,” said Mr. Fritz.His family and colleagues witnessed the risks he was taking. “But the unavoidable risks are necessary,” Mr. Fritz said. “It’s not so much a job, but my life’s purpose.”4．What was Johannes Fritz’s plan?A. To shorten bald ibises’ migration route.B. To lead bald ibises to migrate on a new route.C. To better the climate patterns for bald ibises.D. To find out a safer destination for bald ibises.5．What does the underlined word “devoured” in paragra ph 3 mean?A. Destroyed.B. Abused.C. Released.D. Raised.6．Why was Mr. Fritz’s initial route for the birds ineffective?A. Owing to the long time it consumes.B. For the slow speed of his modified aircraft.C. Because of the toughness along the first route.D. Due to higher temperatures in the summer habitat.7．Which of the following can best describe Mr. Fritz?A. Honest.B. Innovative.C. Straightforward.D. Demanding.As you’re drafting your New Year’s resolutions, you may think that it takes 21 days of repeating an action for that action to become a habit. So, you set out to go to the gym for 21 days, thinking that by day 22 heading to the gym will feel automatic—maybe even fun.However, that 21-day estimate isn’t true. A habit expert Wendy Wood found that this falsehood came from a self-help book in the 1960s and actually described how long it takes to get used to your new appearance after plastic surgery. It’s important to note t hat getting used to something is not the same thing as forming a habit, and perhaps the two concepts got confused along the way, giving rise to the term today.To figure out how long it actually takes to form a habit, Phillippa Lally, and her team did a series of research.They recruited 96 people and asked each person to choose one new habit and report each day on whether or not they did the behavior and how automatic the behavior felt. Some people chose simple habits like “drinking a bottle of water with lunch.” Others chose m ore difficult tasks like “running for 15 minutes before dinner.” At the end of 12 weeks, the researchers analyzed the data to determine how long it took each person to go from starting a new behavior to automatically doing it.The study found that it takes more than 2 months before a new behavior becomes automatic—66 days to be exact. And if you want to set your expectations appropriately, the truth is that it will probably take you anywhere from two months to eight months to build a new behavior into your life. Interestingly, the researchers also found that “m issing one opportunity to perform the behavior did not affect the habit formation process.” That is to say, it doesn’t matter if you mess up every now and then. Building better habits is not an all-or-nothing process.So, for those who wish to form certain habits, persistence is king. To form a good habit, we need to pay more energy and effort.8．What does “21days” actually mean according to Wendy Wood?A. The time one drafts a book.B. The time one develops a new habit.C. The time one gets used to something.D. The time one recovers from a surgery. 9．How did the researchers do the research?A. By doing questionnaires.B. By tracking people’s behaviors.C. By making predictions.D. By analyzing data of previous studies. 10．What can we infer from paragraph 5?A. Habits cannot be noticed easily.B. The amount of time a habit takes varies.C. One should perform a behavior constantly.D. It takes exactly 66 days to form a new habit.11．What is the best title of the passage?A. Habit—good or not?B. Better habit, better life?C. 21days to form a habit?D. Hit or miss with habits?The house had been cleaned and decorated elegantly. The air smelt fresh. Little labels on all we saw around the house displayed important details: date of purchase and the current selling price. We were at a garage sale. There was no talking or bargaining. Buyers could pick up at the listed price.All efforts that release cash that is locked into stuff touch me deeply. If they break conventional ideas, I will like them even more. It is my view that people love to follow suit and end up with emotions they ought to feel, rather than being true to themselves. To say that one does not care for one’s grandmother’s necklace is considered rude, so one would simply keep it in the locker and pass it on to the next generation.No longer so, I am guessing.It’s not always about money, but perhaps about considering one’s choices. My argument always is to use stuff, if you like it so much. Wear those pieces of jewellery; use those pieces of furnitures; take home those piles of old-time bedsheets. But if none of them fit into your current home, allow someone else to take them home. Turn those properties over instead of leaving them unused.Hoarding (囤积) is not a virtue. It is a waste of the money that is locked into the property you are hoarding. I may use it sometime in the future, say some. Give that a time frame. If you are holding something you haven’t used even once in five years, ask yourself if someone else may need it. Don’t sell if you don’t care for money; but do give it away.All else needs to earn their place for their value and usefulness for you. Celebrate the liberation from hoarding and let there be light!12．What do people often do at the garage sale?A. Purchase a garage.B. Label their belongings.C. Talk about decoration.D. Trade their unused stuff.13．Why does the author mention “neeklace” in par agraph 2?A. To call for respect towards the elderly.B. To advocate holding onto the family tradition.C. To show the financial condition of an average family.D. To prove people tend to follow suit against their wills.14．What does the author believe according to paragraph 4?A. It is a good idea to save money.B. A good taste counts in purchase.C. Unused items deserve a new owner.D. The outdated should be thrown away.15．What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To call on people to get rid of hoarding.B. To show his worry about wasting resources.C. To draw attention to conserving the traditions.D. To inspire people to spend more on meaningful things.二、七选五16．In our ever-evolving world, where both personal and professional areas are loaded with challenges, problem solving skills are increasingly valuable in the workplace. ①Here’s how to enhance your strategy.Clear and brief communication is the key to effective problem-solving, acting as the bridge that connects diverse perspectives toward a common goal. ② It involves choosing the right words, structuring information logically, and being mindful of the audience to ensure that your message is both impressive and comprehensible. Active listening, on the other hand, is the skill of receiving information.

Have free-flowing brainstorming sessions that allow for the exploration of diverse ideas without immediate judgment.

Creating a culture that opens the eyes of mistakes within a team or organization encourages an environment where individuals feel comfortable admitting errors.The journey to becoming a skilled problem solver is an ongoing process of growth and improvement. ⑤ __ Remain curious and open to acquiring new knowledge and skills that are directly applicable to your problem-solving attempt. That ensures you stay ahead of evolving challenges and acquire the skills needed to navigate an ever-changing landscape.Furthermore, participating in industry events, joining professional associations and connecting with mentors can offer insights that enrich your problem-solving skills.A. Seek continuous learning opportunities.B. Therefore, comprehension is a vital skill to develop.C. Effective conversation begins with the art of expression.D. Problem-solving at its best requires the out-of-the-box thinking.E. And they could help you achieve more in your personal life too.F. Each misstep provides an opportunity for reflection and learning.G. Each individual brings unique information to overcome challenges.三、完形填空（15空）Filkin’s Drift, a band of two in UK, have been highlighting sustainability (可持续性) inworking to spotlight sustainability and the environment in their work.17．A. completed B. planned C. canceled D. delayed18．A. failed B. ended C. slowed D. closed19．A. scheduled B. interrupted C. appreciated D. relocated20．A. picked out B. taken up C. caught up D. set aside21．A. security B. relaxation C. reputation D. environment22．A. researchers B. followers C. musicians D. professors23．A. instruments B. documents C. envelopes D. photographs24．A. compete B. perform C. advertise D. conclude25．A. crucial B. profitable C. practical D. colorful26．A. evaluate B. clear C. outline D. further27．A. constantly B. secretly C. randomly D. differently28．A. inform B. request C. inspire D. permit29．A. possible B. flexible C. typical D. private30．A. limit B. creation C. upgrade D. need31．A. examines B. joins C. employs D. declines四、短文填空32．Flowers, birds, figures and landscapes seem to jump out of the pictures on the walls of craftsman Hao Ruxiang’s workshop.

The boy thought that there was no man to come and that the piece of paper was of no more use for him, so he burnt it that evening.The next afternoon, someone knocked at the door. The boy opened it. A man was standing at the door and said, "Where is your father?" The boy put his hand into his pocket at once and looked for the piece of paper. He could not find it.

They live next to each other and their farms are both at the foot of the mountain. So they can help each other. But neither of them is clever. They're both poor though they work hard. Most villagers have built new houses, but they still live in the low and broken houses. They never find out why.Once Uncle Li went to town to buy some medicine for his wife. In the town he heard the apples in a city were expensive. He told Uncle Wang about it as soon as he went back. Theydecided to carry some apples to the city. They borrowed some money from their friends and bought nearly 1,000 kilograms of apples in the villages and carried them to the city on a tractor. Bad luck! A lot of apples has already been carried there when they arrived. A few days later they had to sell them at a low price (价格)。
