Seeing Math on the Page
Math and literature are probably two of the subjects that bring students headaches.However, scientists wonder(21)_____the beauty of math can be found in literary works.Once Upon a Prime:The Wondrous Connections between Mathematics and Literature,a book published recently by UK mathematician Sarah Hart,(22)______(present)some interesting thoughts about "three".She argues that the beauty of this number is indeed evident in many works of western literature and languages in general.
‘Three’is the minimum number(23)_____a two-dimensional shape can be defined.For example,three sticks can create a triangle,a stable structure.Many common phrases are in three words,such as"ready,set,go".Being the first things kids may learn,some nursery rhymes have a word(24)________(repeat)three times,such as"row,row,row your boat".In stories,there are usually three main characters,such as Harry,Ron and Hermione in the Harry Potter series.For a series of novels,there are usually three books(25)________________four,according to Hart.
Why is it always the third son who behaves differently from his two older brothers,thus (26)_______(win)the princess?"The reason for this,"Hart explains,"is obvious.We require two repetitions to get to know the pattern,(27)__________the breaking of the pattern in the third character can surprise or amuse us."
Similarly,another study by researchers at the University of Vermont also connected math and storytelling.They analyzed more than1,300fiction books and arranged for10,000words from the books(28)____________(rate)by50participants on a happiness scale of1to9.Then the ratings(29)_(categorize)into different graphs,which showed how the readers'emotions changed while reading.It turned out that each story fit perfectly into one of six basic graphs,a mathematical pattern.
“The idea that one would(30)_____choose between mathematics and literature is something of a tragedy,"Hart says,"The two fields are fundamentally linked".

Farm of the Future in the Sky
Five storeys off the ground at Colorado State University,a highly unlikely garden grows under a long row of rooftop solar panels.It's late November at9am,when the temperature is-2℃and the wind is cutting.Not long before my arrival,researchers had pulled the last __31__crops out of the soil under the panels.In their place,cool-season foods like leafy greens still grow,__32_from the intense sunlight up there.
This is no ordinary green roof,but an expansive and___33____outdoor laboratory.The idea behind it is explained by Jennifer Bousselot,the director of the rooftop farm.Solar panels tend to get too hot on conventional roof tops,and that heat reduces their efficiency while plants help cool them off."If you have plants under there,"Bousselot said,"they create ideal___34____for solar panels to operate.Also,the shade of the panels encourages the growth of plants.A win-win solution."
Therefore,the overall goal of the rooftop farm is to grow more food for___35___urban populations while generating clean energy and making buildings more energy efficient.Without the sun beating down__36_on a bare roof,green roofs boost a building's energy efficiency by about10percent.That is,you don't need to run as much air-conditioning to__37___cool the place during a heat wave.This innovative approach can also maximize land use,making urban spaces not just consumers of resources,but also active___38___to both energy and agricultural production.
However,being__39___on a rooftop comes with more challenges than a typical farming site. The wind loads on a roof make it challenging to install a tracking system and irrigation(灌溉)is also trickier.The expenses are substantially increased due to higher__40___costs and the difficulties of moving and installing all the sensors and materials high in the air.
It is obviously early days for rooftop farms,but some effects were already evident.Instead of being big,dead spaces,roofs may act as booming ecosystems.
III.Reading Comprehension
Section A(15分)
Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B, C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
“So…tell me about yourself.”
The toughest job interview question may seem like a softball from the interviewer's perspective:It seems___41____because it feels like a free pass:no request for real-life examples, no technical challenge,not even the feared"What's your biggest fault?"Just…tell me anything.
Receiving such an open invitation invites more___42____than opportunities,because you're
given no framework for your response—just a blank,clue-free paper.I often see this__43situation in my point-making workshops:communicating without a point.
What your prospective employer most needs from you is a point("T am an important asset(资产)to the company"),not a___44___("All about me").But how do you get from the interviewer's broad question to a specific and___45___point?
Start with realizing that your interviewer already knows your job history thanks to your resume(简历).So you should be more than your___46__.Remember that interviews are more about making strong___47__than proving qualifications.This is a two-step process that will require some homework.First,identify what the organization specifically needs from this role. Second,__48_your response to position yourself as the best person to fill that need.
Identifying the organization's need means examining the job description like a treasure map. Phrases like“required,”"must have,"and"highly desired"mean what they say,so___49__those in your planning.Items further down the list or labeled"preferred"may be less important,even if you meet those standards.The__50___of a job description can be telling as well.Descriptions that sound personal,or come right out and say"sense of humor preferred"indicate a workplace where people like to have fun.__51_,a very formal job posting might indicate a conservative workplace where people are expected to be serious about the work.
Pulling from these soures,write down the three personal qualities they're most looking for like“self-starter,""team player,"or"interest in healthcare".Now change the___52___slightly to "I'm aself-starter"or“At work,my approach is.…."Then pick a story from your professional life that53__you filling that particular need of the job.Feel free to add details,but don't__54___the primary elements.Assume they can smell a lie from a mile away,whether they can or can't.
In this way,you should do more than just widen eyes in the room.Why?Because you've matched who you are and your personal story with the company's brand and primary need.You didn't just tell them about you;you pointed out why you___55___to them.

Directions:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
To us,the kitchen was a mysterious place.Our kitchen at home was so simple:an old Sparks oven,a refrigerator,a sink,and a table.At the New Eastern,it was a busy factory.Almost an entire wall was
taken up by a line of huge black woks(锅).This was my father's stage.He strode(大步走)the length of the four woks,each one fired up by gas flames underneath.Beneath him,blocks of wood,raised off the ground an inch or two,served to give his legs and feet some spring.
The sink was the size of a bathtub(浴);the refrigerator had glass doors and stretched three times as wide as the one at home.Every appliance was bigger,and there were things we never saw anywhere else,like the big metal oven in which my father hung long poles holding large pieces of pork.We could hear the fire roaring from the bottom of it.My dad would go about his business,and then,always at exactly the right time,he'd wander over,lift off the top,and take out several poles of barbecued pork—bright red,with black at the tips.If I happened by at that magical moment,I'd stop.“Yeet-gow!”I'd say.And he'd skillfully chop off a piece of the juicy, sweet meat.“One dollar!"he'd shout,and then hand it over.
My father made the best food in town.There was nothing he wouldn't try.He was once proud of a rock candy he invented and determined to sell at the front counter of the New Eastern. We,of course,served as his guinea pigs—we couldn't bring ourselves to tell him the sad truth: The candy was so hard that it was uneatable.I rolled a piece around my mouth.“Tastes good, Ba-Ba,”I said.Then,when he looked away,I spat it out.
Sometimes,he liked to invent stories to us.Watching my little sister Shirley biting on an apple, he'd lean over.“Don't eat the seed,"he said,"or an apple tree will grow inside you."“What?”“Yes.Right inside your stomach,an apple tree!”

(C)
New research confirms that human footprints found in New Mexico are probably the oldest direct evidence of human presence in the Americas,a finding that upends what many scientists knew about human habitation and migration(迁徙).
The footprints were discovered at the edge of an ancient lakebed in White Sands national park.According to the new paper published in the journal Science,they date back to between21, 000and23,000years ago.Actually,the estimated age of the footprints was first reported in Science in2021,but some researchers raised concerns about the dates.Questions focused on whether seeds of water plants used for the original dating may have absorbed ancient carbon from the lake—which could,in theory,throw off radiocarbon dating by thousands of years.But the new study presents two additional lines of evidence for the older date range.It uses two entirely different materials found at the site,ancient pollen(花粉)and stone grains.
The reported age of the footprints challenges the once conventional wisdom that humans did not reach the Americas until a few thousand years before rising sea levels covered the Bering land bridge between Russia and Alaska,perhaps about15,000years ago.“This is a subject that's always been controversial because it's so significant.It's about how we understand the last chapter of the peopling of the world,”said Thomas Urban,an archaeologist(考古学家)at Comell University,who was involved in the2021study but not the new one.
Thomas Stafford,an independent archaeological geologist in New Mexico,who was not involved in the study,said he“was a bit suspicious before”but now is convinced.The new study isolated about75,000grams of pure pollen from the same stone layer that contained the footprints."Dating pollen is laborious but worthwhile,"said Kathleen Springer,a research geologist at the US Geological Survey and a co-author of the new paper.
Ancient footprints of any kind can provide archaeologists with a quick look of a moment in time.While some archeological sites in the Americas point to similar date ranges—including necklaces carved from giant animal remains in Brazil—scientists still question whether such objects really indicate human presence.“White Sands is unique because there's no question these footprints were left by people,"said Jennifer Raff,a scientist at the University of Kansas, who was not involved in the study.
63.The underlined word"upends”(paragraph1)is closest in meaning to“_______".
prises
B.connects
C.challenges
pares
64.According to the passage,what is special about the new research?
A.It shows the footprints were made by the Russians.
B.It offers more convincing lines of evidence for dating.
C.It confirms that the ancient humans enjoyed living by the lake.
D.It reveals the footprints are much younger than previously thought.
65.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that_____________.
A.necklaces are valuable objects for archaeologists to date animals
B.human footprints are often sure signs of human presence
C.ancient objects in Brazil are excluded from the study
D.White Sands is one important archaeological site
66.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A.Scientists Discovers New Species of Humans in Americas
B.Humans Reached Americas15,000Years Earlier Than Believed
C.American Archaeologists Unearthed Valuable Manmade Objects
D.New Research Confirms Early Human Presence in Americas
Section C(8分)
Directions:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need
A.The key is to look for places where improvements were done poorly.
B.An experienced agent is probably going to have a better eye than the buyer.

What to Know If Buying a Flipped House
House flipping is hardly new.For someone who is working in the real estate market,a flipped or recently renovated(翻新的)home can be very appealing.But how about you,the home-hunter?_____67____
You certainly don't need to avoid flipped properties.A flipped property does have some strong selling points.A lot of its features and fixtures have been replaced or improved.Certainly, you'll save on the time and trouble of doing the renovation yourself.But there are some things to watch out for if you're considering buying one.
____68____For example,Alice recently toured a flipped house whose kitchen drawer was blocked by the refrigerator and the dishwasher wasn't installed correctly-things that would
prevent people from being able to function in there.Addressing issues like these can become costly,especially if you haven't factored them into your budget.
Don't neglect your right to a professional inspection.____69_____So getting an expert to go take a thorough look at the property is crucial,to make sure everything is up to code.It's going to be really important to do your sewer(下水道)and separate roof inspections.Flipped houses may seem up-to-date on the surface,but shiny new finishes can sometimes mask substandard work.
Finally,flipped properties are rarely advertised as such.Therefore,it is crucial to work with aknowledgeable real estate agent.____70____When he tours a house that he suspects is being flipped,he'll check who owned the home previously,and will reach out to other agents in his network to see if anyone has experience buying from them.
IV.Summary writing(10分)
Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.
Dealing with One Missed Workout
It's a common dilemma(图局)for anyone on a training plan:You miss one workout and become awashed with guilt.To make up for it,you add those extra miles to your next workout. But according to the professionals,this isn't the right way to go about it."A single workout is not going to make or break a training plan.The key to training is consistency over time,"says John Raglin,PhD,professor in the Department of Kinesiology at Indiana University Bloomington.
When you miss a workout,the temptation is to think,"Oh,I've got to do more tomorrow". But when you try to catch up on your workouts,you run a couple of risks:"Certainly an injury,but also becoming over-tired,which could ruin your training after that,"says Raglin.This is a phenomenon called'non-functional overreaching',"he says.Eventually,this could lead to overtraining syndrome(综合症),which is characterized by a decrease in performance later due to a long-term increase in training load without adequate recovery.
So how do you move forward if you skipped a run or five?Well first,people download generalized training plans without understanding that they are meant to be adapted to life.There is a whole host of life stressors—job,kids,friendships,travel—and exercise is just another type of stress.Actually,when things get chaotic in your life,it may be necessary to just let go.Next,if you missed a workout,you have to ask yourself why:"Was it just because your schedule got out of hand or because you were feeling overly exhausted?"Understanding why you missed the workout can offer some insights into how to tailor your program to suit your lifestyle.

Missing one workout does not significantly impact a training plan.Trying to compensate by extra exercise causes risks like injury and over-tiredness.
