1、A case study is an in-depth study of one person, group, or event. In a case study, nearly every aspect of the subject's life and history is analyzed to seek patterns and causes of behavior. Case studies can be used in many different fields, including psychology, medicine, education, political science, and social work.
It's important to remember that the insights from case studies cannot be used to determine cause-and-effect relationships between variables. However, case studies may be used to develop theories that can then be addressed in experimental research.
There have been a number of notable case studies in the history of psychology. Much of Freud's work and theories were developed through individual case studies. Here is one great example of case studies in psychology.
Anna O was a patient of a physician named Josef Breuer. While she was never a patient of Freud's, Freud and Breuer discussed her case extensively. The woman was experiencing symptoms of a condition that was then known as hysteria, a state of uncontrolled excitement, fear or panic, and found that talking about her problems helped relieve her symptoms. Her case played an important part in the development of talk therapy (疗法) as an approach to mental health treatment.
As demonstrated in the case of Anna O, case studies offer valuable insights into understanding human behavior and developing treatment methods. When you are writing a case study, you should include a section where you discuss the case study itself, including the advantages and limitations of the study. You should note how the findings of your case study might support previous research. You should also describe some of the implications of your case study. What ideas or findings might require further exploration? How might researchers go about exploring some of these questions in additional studies?
Case studies clarify rare phenomena, inform practical involvement, and bridge clinical observation with experimental research to advance psychological understanding.
(1)、What is the main purpose of a case study?A、To develop experimental researches. B、To prove theories in different fields. C、To replace psychological theories with data. D、To analyze a subject's life patterns thoroughly.(2)、What can be learned from paragraph 2 about case studies?A、They can establish causal links. B、They support theory formation. C、They generate insufficient statistical data. D、They offer conclusive experimental evidence.(3)、What was the significance of Anna O's case?A、It marked the first case of hysteria. B、It helped Freud develop his theories. C、It aided the development of talk therapies. D、It showed the importance of medical treatment.(4)、What should case study writers include?A、Predictions about behavioral patterns. B、Comparison with experimental designs. C、Discussion of clinical observation methods. D、Evaluation of study strengths and weaknesses. -
2、It's a hot night on the western coast of Sri Lanka. A team of volunteers is patrolling (巡逻) a popular tourist beach on the outskirts of Colombo, searching for turtle (海龟) nesting sites. They gather in a circle, digging in the sand at dusk.
Turtle eggs have long been stolen as a food source by coastal communities, but more recently it is human activity of another kind that has proved a greater threat. As the city has expanded, restaurants and other tourist facilities have mushroomed along most parts of the country's western coast, bringing in more people, noisy music, and much plastic and chemical waste, all of which harms turtle nesting during the reproducing season.
Aware that life for the turtles was becoming more difficult, Muditha Katuwawala, one of the volunteers, expanded the activities of the Pearl Protectors to include regular patrols. Working with the coastguard, the volunteers help to find eggs laid in hazardous areas and remove them to a safe nesting place on the beach until they hatch.
Nevertheless, a significant threat to the turtles comes from the illegal hunters because once they find a nest, all the eggs are usually taken. "Certain restaurants and hotels sell these eggs to the foreigners as a novel food, at a good price," Katuwawala says. "So turtle eggs now have commercial demand." He says patrolling alone will not create a lasting impact on turtle conservation and it needs to be combined with educating coastal communities.
Another volunteer, Lara Wijesuriya, agrees. "It makes a difference to the community in how they perceive the problem and the solution," she says. "And it makes a difference to the volunteers in how they approach the problem. It bridges the gap."
In the southern part of the island, the Turtle Conservation Project has gone a step further by employing hunters to protect nests, providing an alternative income.
"When you finally see the baby turtles going into the ocean, it's really nice to know that you helped a life to live," Fernando, another volunteer, says.
(1)、What is a greater threat to turtle nesting recently?A、Urban expansion. B、Illegal hunting. C、Industrial activity. D、Destructive overfishing.(2)、What does the underlined word "hazardous" in paragraph 3 mean?A、Risky. B、Scenic. C、Public. D、Crowded.(3)、What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4 and 5?A、The business value of turtle eggs. B、The threat of illegal hunting to turtle eggs. C、The role of volunteer efforts in conservation. D、The need of combining patrolling and educating.(4)、Which is a suitable title for the text?A、Economic Benefits of Turtle Eggs B、Joint Efforts in Turtle Conservation C、Traditional Practices in Turtle Protection D、Coastal Tourism Challenges in Sri Lanka -

7、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mary was the art teacher for primary school students. On this particular day, she was guiding them through the process of drawing a scenic landscape. Akila yawned(打哈欠), clearly disinterested - drawing wasn't her thing. A small group of students gathered around Tina, laughing at her unusual drawing: a sun sporting sunglasses and trees topped with ice cream cones.
Mary instructed Tina firmly but with unease, "Draw it the way I showed you." As the lesson continued, doubt crept into Mary's mind. Had the joy of creativity been overshadowed by the pressure to fit in? She scanned the room, observing her students' faces – some concentrated, others uncertain. Akila's disinterest was clear and Tina's imaginative drawing had been met with ridicule instead of praise.
After class, Mary sat down with Tina, her tone softening, "Why did you draw the sun with sunglasses and the trees with ice creams?" she asked gently.
Tina's eyes sparkled with a touch of rebellion (叛逆)-"I love ice cream, and I thought the sun would look cool with sunglasses. Why do we always have to draw like everyone else?"
Mary paused, her thoughts racing. Tina's drawings weren't just curious —they were a window into a world where imagination ruled, where rales could be bent into delightful chaos. Was she, by enforcing a rigid style, killing that very creativity?
The next morning, Mary walked into the classroom with a renewed sense of purpose. She placed a large sheet of paper in front of the class and announced a new project: they would create a collective(集体的)artwork titled "Our Dream World" with no rules. They were free to use colors, shapes, and patterns however they wished.
At first, the students hesitated, unsure of this newfound freedom. Akila leaned back, skeptical of what seemed like another pointless exercise. But Tina, her creativity no longer restricted, eagerly grabbed her crayons and began to draw with abandon. Then, Maya joined in. And then Michael...

9、阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Have you ever sunk a spoon and a pair of chopsticks into a deep bowl of hot pot? If so, then you know that this widely-appreciated dish can be (absolute) delicious and fun to eat. Typically (associated) with Chinese food, hot pot is commonly seasoned with all kinds of traditional Chinese ingredients, ranging from raw shellfish sliced mushrooms. Today hot pot is enjoyed all across Asia, which begs the question: Where, exactly, did hot pot originate?
Some historians trace its beginnings back to boatmen living along the Yangtze and Jialing rivers around Chongqing, China, invented an inexpensive and efficient way to eat. Others believe early hot pots (link) to Mongol soldiers. As they traveled and camped across Asia and beyond, they'd sit around the fires, (enjoy) hot soup in one of their overturned helmets (头盔).
Nowadays there are three major styles of hot pot. Sichuan hot pot (feature) strong and spicy flavors. Cantonese hot pot is a much (mild) version with less spicy seasoning. The third one is Mongolian hot pot, which is similar to the original version of hot pot. Despite the variations of this dish, makes hot pot become a favorite dish all over the world is its inclusiveness-everyone is free to add their favorite (item) right into the pot, cooking and eating as they go.

11、At 40, I fell in love with cycling and joined a local cycling club. I befriended cycling lovers and we often went cycling together. I decided to go on a solo (独自的) cycling journey from Singapore to Indonesia.
My late grandfather was born in Bagansiapiapi, Indonesia. Growing up, I'd hear all kinds of stories about his childhood before he moved to Singapore. I was anxious to visit his birthplace but I never acted on it until the idea of cycling there came to mind. And I decided to go big — make the whole journey across the island and head to the northernmost tip of Indonesia.
I made sure I planned my first solo ride around Indonesia well. My whole trip would cover more than 1,600 km. I aimed to cycle around 100 km to 140 km a day, which would take about four to six hours. I had to leave room for flexibility. Possible bicycle breakdowns and accidents needed to be taken into account.
During the first leg of the journey, I hardly felt tired because I was so driven by my excitement. Reaching Bagansiapiapi, I immediately asked about the history relating to the large Chinese community there. I learned that a Chinese family surnamed Tan did live there for years. In the 1940s, they moved to another part of Southeast Asia. The locals couldn't remember the names so I wasn't sure whether it was my grandfather's family. All the small pieces of the history reminded me of the hard work of my forefathers to find a better life for their later generations.
Once, I got lost while cycling towards Lake Toba. Luckily, a family of three showed me the right directions. The whole journey was unforgettable. I was thankful that I could witness the land where my grandparents had ever lived and that I had completed such a challenging cycling journey myself.
A. I knew I had to make it happen.
B. At age 49, I developed a thirst for adventure.
C. My cycling journey was not without challenges.
D. Or I was just feeling extra tired on a certain day.
E. However, the possibility left me feeling excited and satisfied.
F. I took note of a few potential hostels and other accommodations.
G. I felt a little regret for not exploring more of my family's detailed history.

12、Have you ever walked into a room and forgotten why you went there, or been about to speak but suddenly realized you had no idea what you were going to say? The human brain normally balances countless inputs, thoughts and actions, but sometimes, it seems to short-circuit (短路). So what really happens?
Understanding why we forget first requires us to tear down the myth about memory. "It is generally believed that memory is just one thing," said Susanne Jaeggi, a professor of psychology. "Indeed, there are very different components of memory, and they're also related to different cognitive (认知的) processes."
There are two different types of memory: long-term and working memory. The former is a broad category of memories that involve experience and skills stored in the brain for extended periods. On the other hand, thoughts in working memory are only present for a brief period.
"Working memory is like the sketchpad (速写本) of conscious thought," said Earl K. Miller, a professor of neuroscience at MIT. "Every piece of new information, inner dialogue and sensory input is routed through working memory and certain characteristics of working memory explain why we forget those thoughts."
First, psychologists estimate that people can hold only about four to seven "chunks" (块) of information — such as letters, digits, words or phrases — in their working memory at a time. Rather than being aware of all of these "chunks" all at once, the brain bounces around from one idea to another, making it more likely to forget one.
Second, the brain quickly wipes out unimportant things from working memory to make room for new information. So unless those short-term memories are transferred into long-term memories (a process called consolidation), they'll soon disappear.
But for those who regularly struggle with thoughts slipping their mind, Jaeggi and Miller have some words to say. In the first place, Miller says multitasking makes forgetting more likely. Jaeggi mentions if you walk into a room and forget why you went in there, go back into the room you were before. The context clues might give the brain the extra boost it needs to reach back a few seconds in working memory and bring back the thought that's already gone.
(1)、What can be learnt about human brains from paragraph 1?A、They can become easily overloaded. B、They experience occasional memory slips. C、They are sensitive to a short circuit condition. D、They frequently switch between different tasks.(2)、What role does working memory serve as according to Earl K. Miller?A、A strategy for making multitasking brains. B、A place for recording experience and skills. C、A short-term space for processing information. D、A tool for increasing the amount of sensory input.(3)、What is Jaeggi's suggestion for recovering a lost thought?A、Setting a reminder ahead of time. B、Centering on the new task at hand. C、Returning to the previous context. D、Visualizing the thought in your mind.(4)、What is a suitable title for the text?A、The Secret of Memory Loss B、Cognitive Processes in Learning C、Multitasking's Impact on Memory D、The Importance of Working Memory -
13、We've all been in a position where our phone runs out of battery, but we don't have anywhere to charge it. Well, what if the clothing you were wearing could help you out? It's an option that isn't as strange as you might think. Now the latest fashion breakthrough is taking "activewear" in an entirely new direction: researchers at Nottingham Trent University have developed a new fabric that can keep small devices charged.
The prototype (原型) includes 1,200 tiny solar panels, each measuring just 5 by 1.5 millimeters. It can generate 400 milliwatts of electrical energy, enough to charge electronic devices.
"Until now very few people have considered their clothing products could be used for charging electronic devices," explains Theodore Hughes-Riley, an associate professor of Electronic Textiles. "The material which we have developed appears and behaves the same as any ordinary fabric, as it can be washed in a machine. Besides, because the tiny solar cells are comprised of silicon (硅), wearers aren't able to even notice a discrepancy between the fabric's composition and that of standard clothing."
Potential products include items like outerwear, backpacks and other carrying bags using the material, all of which could allow wearers to keep their devices charged during the day. "Electronic fabrics really have the potential to change people's relationship with technology, as this prototype shows how we could live without charging many devices on the wall," adds Theodore.
Solar power innovations are key to transforming human society from fossil fuel technologies, and are coming into a variety of fields. The European Space Agency, for example, plans to experiment with solar panel systems orbiting above Earth. Since there are no real "days" or "nights" in space, potential solar power generation could be as much as 8 or 9 times greater than what's currently achievable here on Earth's surface. As powerful as that may one day be for us, it's encouraging to know even changes like the composition of our clothing can help promote the necessary renewable energy shift for our species.
(1)、Why is the new fabric special?A、It can adjust people' body temperatures. B、It can change clothes' colors in the sun. C、It can produce electricity from sunlight. D、It is much tougher than standard clothing.(2)、What does the underlined word "discrepancy" in paragraph 3mean?A、Distinction. B、Mismatch. C、Improvement. D、Similarity.(3)、How does the innovation impact our relationship with technology according Theodore?A、By making electronic devices much cheaper. B、By decreasing the demand for fixed chargers. C、By making us more aware of our energy use. D、By increasing our dependence on electronics.(4)、What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A、Solar power is more useful in space than on Earth. B、Solar energy will soon take the place of fossil fuels. C、Space exploration has no impact on Earth's energy. D、Small changes can lead to a renewable energy future. -
14、Catherine Borowski and her partner Lee Baker are the founders of Graphic Rewilding, a project to place huge nature-inspired artworks into the urban landscape. "We just want to add the colour and diversity of nature into run-down spaces, urging people to notice and find joy in the world around them," says Baker.
Baker, a painter, has long understood the benefits of biophilic (热爱自然的) design. Having suffered a breakdown 10 years ago, Baker found that drawing flowers was the only way to lift his spirit. It was around this time that Baker met Borowski, and joined her production company as a creative director. The pair have worked together ever since launching Graphic Rewilding in 2021.
Since then, they've decorated many buildings at locations including Earl's Court station, Lewes Castle and Westfield Shopping Centre in Shepherd's Bush—all hand drawn by Baker. "We love galleries, but we focus on public art. This way, our work is out there for everyone to enjoy," Baker says.
The pair believe that flowers have serious power, even when they're not real. "We know that spending time in nature is good for us, but studies show that even pictures of plants have a positive effect on the mind," says Baker. He discovers from the research that images of plants in hospital waiting rooms can help reduce feelings of stress inpatients.
Even so, they admit that art is no match for Mother Nature. "Some people expressed concern that our project might hurt real rewilding efforts. But both can coexist," says Borowski. "Of course, we want more green space. But we aren't gardeners. We're artists. In the absence of nature, we want to create inspiring spaces through art."
Overall, the response has been hugely positive. "The joy that these artworks bring is evident," says Borowski, highlighting an early project in Crawley, West Sussex, where they painted brick walls, billboards, benches and even bins. "There were so many smiling faces," she says. "Putting art into a place that previously felt unloved feels like developing joy where there was none."
(1)、What is the Graphic Rewilding project aimed at?A、Bringing cities to life through art. B、Promoting people's appreciation of art. C、Promoting biodiversity in urban areas. D、Raising people's eco-friendly awareness.(2)、What led Baker to fall in love with biophilic design?A、His working experience in the wild. B、His research on the benefits of plants. C、A collaboration with Catherine Borowski. D、A comforting experience of drawing flowers.(3)、What distinguishes Graphic Rewilding from gallery exhibitions?A、It gives access to everyone B、It creates hand-drawn designs. C、It focuses on famous buildings. D、It expressed itself more artistically.(4)、How do most people react to the pair's artworks?A、Indifferent. B、Doubtful. C、Appreciative. D、objective. -

16、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Squeaky wasn't expected to do much around the house, but she was responsible for looking after her sister Louise, who was intellectually disabled. People in their Harlem neighborhood often made fun of Louise, but Squeaky didn't hesitate to stand up for her. As Squeaky was an incredibly fast runner, she could just run away if things got too heated. In fact, Squeak y won many races she competed in, sometimes losing to her classmate and friend, Gretchen. These days, Squeaky and Gretchen were talking about who of them would win in the coming May Day race.
Squeaky often ran around the neighborhood, training for races and performing breathing exercises, and Louise usually went together. Louise often caused trouble in public, drawing the anger of neighbors to whom Squeaky must apologize. But Squeaky didn't mind as long as Louise didn't interfere (干扰) with her training.
Presently, Squeaky was practicing running in the neighborhood with Louise when she spotted Gretchen running towards them. When they came close, they all stopped. Gretchen looked at Louise in curiosity, which was taken as a provocation by Squeaky, who stepped forward in defense. Gretchen stepped back and smiled kindly.Relieved, Squeaky introduced Louise to Gretchen and explained why she was defensive.
Gretchen laughed, saying she was curious because she was surprised that Louise should be able to run as fast as Squeaky. "Is she also training for the May Day race?" Gretchen asked.
Squeaky's eyes lit up. "Why haven't I ever thought of this?" she thought. Gretchen's words reminded her of an idea she had never thought of. "I decide to quit running and coach Louise instead. I have many awards, but Louise has nothing," she told Gretchen. Gretchen was almost touched to tears by Squeaky's consideration for her sister. "Can I work together with you?" Gretchen asked with enthusiasm. The two friends looked at each other in agreement.

20、Classroom environments play a crucial role in students' learning experiences. A setting filled with too many things can look untidy. Therefore, teachers are supposed to be careful with what they want their classroom to look like. While controlling all factors may be challenging, teachers can manage the materials on classroom walls to reduce distractions (分散注意力的事)。
A student's working memory processes visual and verbal (口头的) information. Too many posters, regulations, or information sources can overload a student's working memory, making it difficult to focus and process information.
The average preschool is overloaded with labels, lists, and rules, which can decrease children's ability to focus and learn. Decorations are sometimes mistaken for quality. Experts point out that reading and writing performances are particularly affected by levels of stimulation, while math benefits from student-centered and personalized classroom designs. Involving students in designing their learning space can give them a sense of ownership and pride.
The color of the classroom is another critical factor. Red and orange can make students feel nervous, while blue and green are calming. Younger children may respond well to bright colors like yellow, but older students benefit from light shades of blue and green. The International Association of Color Consultants North America emphasizes the importance of appropriate color design for creating conducive (有利的) learning environments and promoting health. Such settings are likely to cause students to become uninterested in learning.
Therefore, teachers should be mindful of the impacts of visual stimuli on their students and work to minimize distractions for better academic performance.
A. It distracts students and negatively impacts their academic performance.
B. Classrooms often become text and picture-rich from early education levels.
C. Teachers should consider featuring student works to promote student worth.
D. Alternatively, colorless and poorly lit classrooms are often considered boring.
E. Classroom environments are intended to stimulate enthusiasm and participation.
F. Overstimulation in the environment increases competition for a student's attention.
G. A combination of bright and light colors benefits academic performance and health.
