You keep secrets from each other; you keep secrets from yourselves. Secrets1 you; secrets drive you apart. Keeping a secret can be a burden, while sharing secrets can be a 2 , whether it's with your old friend or a supportive family member.
For children, learning to keep secrets is a(n) 3 milestone. In one study, researchers asked kids who were three, four, and five to play hide-and-seek and to keep a secret about a surprise. 4 to do the two tasks connected strongly with each other, and with the kids' social cognition(认知). At three, the kids were fairly 5 at these tasks. By the age of five, most children can keep a secret, their cognitive development 6 the demands of this task.
For adults, this is7 behavior. "8 all adults of normal intellectual and psychological functioning do keep personal secrets at one time or another," writes Anita E. Kelly, author of The Psychology of Secrets.
Yet 9 ages and cultures, multiple studies show the personal health 10 of sharing your private hopes and fears with trusted friend--and the corresponding 11 of keeping some secrets entirely to yourself.
Truly 12 relationships depend on really seeing another person, which means knowing the deep reaches that not everyone has access to. However, we can never completely merge with (融入) another, nor should we — being an adult requires 13 healthy boundaries — but sharing these soft parts of ourselves allows others to love us, just as 14 others' secrets allows us to love them. The sweet spot is to 15 more of the secrets than we feel comfortable with. But never all of them.

2、 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There's a belief that it is inadvisable to have plants in the bedroom. The concern is about how plants breathe. While plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen in the day, at night this is the opposite. But to tell whether sharing our bedroom with our plants is a risk to health,
we have to consider three things.
This is tricky to answer as it depends on everything from species to light levels and even room temperature, Also, there's not much research on the exact measurements in indoor settings. Thankfully, in 2015, researchers at Turkey's Kastamonu University found that houseplants like ficus(榕树) and yuccas(丝兰), when sealed(密封) in glass boxes, absorb between six and eight times as much CO2 in the day as they emit at night. This results in a significant net reduction over a full day.
Secondly, we should compare the impact of plants on air quality with that of other potential competitors, such as a partner, A single human breath contains around
40.000ppm of CO2, more than 10 times the effect a plant could have in 8 hours. Also, consider this. Indoor plants grow in less light than they would ideally get in nature. So, they photosynthesize(光合作用) at a lower rate. This further reduces their impact on air quality.
Finally, it is obvious that we don't live in the sealed boxes in which these studies are carried out. Even our movements can influence its flow.
In conclusion, the plant effect in our homes is very small in many ways. If sleeping near plants were bad for your health, camping in a forest would be definitely deadly.
A. Firstly, how do plants breathe at night?
B. So enjoy houseplants whenever you like.
C. Firstly, do plants emit more CO2 at night?
D. Camping can be a good escape if you are worried.
E. This means they compete with us for air when we sleep.
F. Indoor air is constantly exchanged through doors and windows.
G. So you might want to send your partner away before your plants.

3、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
The conventional language of career success moves in only one direction: up. If you really succeed, you reach the top. But there is another type of career path. Sideways moves without a promotion or a pay rise, can be a benefit to employees and organizations alike.
A study carried out by Donald Sull of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and his co-authors in 2021 found that the availability of lateral(横向的) career opportunities has a marked impact on keeping employees. When they decided whether to stay in the company or not, chances to move sideways were two and a half times more important than pay. Another paper, by Xin Jin of the University of South Florida and Michael Waldman of Cormell University, concluded that lateral moves did not just benefit organizations: employees who experienced them were more likely to be promoted and to enjoy higher wage growth later in their careers than employees who did not. You can move up by first moving sideways.
The crab-like(螃蟹般的) career has other things going for it. One is that it is a good way to learn new things. As hiring processes increasingly emphasize skills, employers are likely to put comparatively less emphasis on CVs and comparatively more weight on what you know. Messrs Jin and Waldman reason that the upper ranks of companies tend to be people whose capabilities are broad, not deep; that may explain why lateral moves are good for promotion prospects. Along with skills come contacts. Transferring between teams usually means building a bigger internal network. Opening the door to more lateral moves is partly a practical matter. Some bigger employers have "internal talent marketplaces" in which employees can find and apply for jobs elsewhere in the company; smaller firms have fewer such opportunities to offer.
Embracing sideways movement also requires the right attitude. Lots of managers like to keep talent to themselves, at the expense of workers and firms. And moving sideways still has less cachet(声望) than moving upwards. Most people find it not so easy to accept.
(1)、How does the author develop paragraph 2?A、By telling personal stories. B、By providing research findings. C、By comparing different career paths. D、By making remarks on scientific reports.(2)、What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 mean?A、Lateral moves involve gaining new skills. B、Lateral moves are mainly for networking purposes. C、Transferring between teams leads to a larger network. D、Contacts are more important than skills in lateral moves.(3)、What do many managers think of lateral career moves?A、They are a way to keep talent within the company. B、They are seen as a threat to the manager's own positions. C、They could potentially lead to talent loss within the team. D、They could contribute to the company's growth in the long run.(4)、Who may embrace lateral moves?A、Bosses who value short-term profits. B、Employees who are eager for more skills. C、Managers who appreciate long-term stability. D、Job hunters who are interested in smaller firms. -
4、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Have you ever forgotten a lunch date and stood up a good friend? This can be embarrassing and might indicate that your memory isn't as sharp as before. How can we improve our memory? According to Charan Ranganath's book, Why We Remember, there are many strategies.
Taking good care of our physical bodies will improve our brain health generally, and so improve memory, says Ranganath. But we can also use the nature of memory to make certain memories stand out.
Events are more memorable when they are novel. So, if we want to draw on a memory later, we can focus more on unexpected things in an experience. For example, going to a new restaurant with your partner will make the experience more memorable than going to one where you often dine.
When it comes to learning, we can use special tricks. For example, we can use the phrase "King Philip came over for good spaghetti(意大利面)" to remember biological classification: kingdom(界), phylum(门), class(纲), order(目), family(科), genus(属), species(种).
However, memory is not just about recalling. It is subjective and can change over time because our brains reconstruct memories each time we recall them. "Each time we revisit the past in our minds, we bring present information that can invisibly, and even dramatically change our memories," says Ranganath.
Factors like how recently something happened, how much something is repeated, and how we are feeling at the time will change how well we recall a memory. Also, the people around us can affect our memory for an event, by either sharing their own memory or by their expectations of how an event should be remembered. That's why two people witnessing a street fight may see different things occurring, but eventually come to have similar memories about what happened. Their memories influence each other, more so if they talk it through after the fact.
While we can use our memory to remember important lessons from life, we must also be humble. By understanding the way memory works, we can learn to strengthen it for the things we need to know and to avoid some of the pitfalls.
(1)、Which of the following actions can enhance the memorability of an event?A、Repeating a familiar routine. B、Experiencing something new. C、Engaging in physical activities. D、Focusing on everyday occurrences.(2)、Why does the author mention "King Pilip came over for good spaghetti?A、To highlight the unreliability of our memory. B、To illustrate how easily memories are forgotten. C、To demonstrate a memory aid technique for recalling. D、To help readers remember the order of biological classification.(3)、What can we learn about the process of recalling memories from paragraph 6?A、Memories change our feelings when recalled. B、Memories remain permanently fixed over time. C、Memories become more detailed with recalling. D、Memories may change after the event is discussed.(4)、What might be the best title for the passage?A、Why do we forget important dates? B、How do we reconstruct memory over time? C、How can we improve and understand our memory? D、Why do we remember certain events more than others? -
5、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
On November 2, 2021, my friend Lou messaged me with a challenge: "Amy and I are not buying any new clothes for a year…" My immediate reply was, "Definitely!" This might not be what people who know me would expect. As a child, I once invited a girl to my birthday party just because I had seen her in a beautiful dress. My love for fashion has continued into adulthood.
However, I am also aware of the significant issues in the fashion industry: it's highly polluting. There's also the problem of waste, with the West often dumping(丢弃) unwanted clothing in other regions.
So, when the invitation appeared, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to reset my relationship with clothes.
The year pushed me to embrace better habits. I've always enjoyed looking for second-hand items, but when my only pair of trainers broke in an unfixable way, I urgently needed a replacement. The Vinted app helped me find one almost as quickly as buying new.
I put more effort into making clothes. You quickly realize the labor involved once you start making shorts by yourself. Besides, removing the ease of buying new pushed me towards fixing instead, though a low point was taking a much-loved pair of shoes to a cobbler(修鞋匠), only to be told it'd be "cheaper to buy new".
Even though the year is officially over, I'm hoping to carry on with what I've learned. I'm trying to consume less overall, with a one in, one out' rule with clothes. I've been noting down what clothes I wear each day, and whether I get 30 wears out of it (said to be the amount of times necessary to balance out the carbon emissions(排放) created to make a piece of clothing).
These approaches are what work. for me. But there are loads of different ways to do a fashion challenge. How useful, challenging, or appealing an approach sounds will vary from individual to individual. Whatever you do, roping in friends is recommended. They keep you motivated; they can also share ideas, and possibly clothes!
(1)、Why did the author accept the challenge of not buying clothes for one year?A、She accepted the challenge to satisfy her friend. B、She was concerned about the threat of fashion industry. C、She thought this would solve the problem of pollution. D、She had had enough of her deep connection with fashion.(2)、How did the author feel when told it would be "cheaper to buy new"?A、Shocked. B、Discouraged. C、Frightened. D、Confused.(3)、What does the number "30"in paragraph 6 mean?A、The author has been sticking to a 30-item clothing limit. B、A piece of clothing of good quality can be worm at least 30 times. C、The author would wear a piece of clothing 30 times for environmental reasons. D、If a piece of clothing was worn 30 times, no carbon emission would be produced.(4)、What is paragraph 7 mainly about?A、Suggestions the author gives to readers. B、The role of friends in achieving success. C、Uniqueness of the author's own experience. D、The change in the way the author views fashion. -

17、 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。
When I was eight years old, my family moved from Japan to Canada. In Japan, I was a lively girl who enjoyed sharing my dolls and jokes and loved making people laugh with my jokes and creating imaginative games to play with my friends. However, when we settled in Canada, I struggled to adapt. I was born shy and wasn't good at making new friends. During my first days at school I looked at others who were talking in groups happily. How I wish I were one of them!
We settled in a comfortable house with a nice garden where we grew vegetables—my responsibility. While I enjoyed looking after them, I often daydreamed about having a great garden like my classmate Alice's, with its roses. Despite living in the same neighborhood, Alice and I hardly talked.
It was a hurricane that brought Alice and I closer.
The hurricane struck on an afternoon. The gentle wind turned into a heavy storm, and the sky became dark with thick gray clouds. Gradually, the hurricane took shape. My entire family gathered in the bathroom, seeking shelter from the storm. Frightened, I sat close to my mom, knees in my chest. After the storm had passed, our worries and fears were replaced by relief that we were unharmed and that our house had remained undamaged.
As I stepped outside, I witnessed(见证) the extent of the damage the hurricane had caused to our neighborhood. Across the street, a tall tree had fallen, crushing(严重破坏) Alice's garden in front of her yellow house. We hurried over to check on it. Fortunately, none of her family was injured. However, her once-beautiful garden was in ruins, with the fallen tree destroying the roses and debris(碎片) spread everywhere. The roses that Alice used to be proud of were gone.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I was imagining how heartbroken Alice must feel seeing this when she appeared in the garden.
Looking at the restored garden, we could imagine attractive roses next spring.

19、 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。
The mouth-watering hot pots of Sichuan are as famous overseas as they are in China, and the hot flavour is enough (heat) up a cold midwinter evening or to let loose rivers of sweat on a summer afternoon. I gave it my first try last night, together a few local friends. As the soup bubbled slowly over a gas burner in the middle of the table, (it) surface was covered with a beautiful layer of chillies, Sichuan peppers, spring onions and red oil. Slowly at first, and then faster and faster, we tipped plates of fresh meat, fish and vegetables into the pot. The hot flavour quickened our laughter and conversation, (make) the meal the perfect way to relax with friends.
Sichuan hot pots are perfect for the damp, (fog) climate in which they were invented. They are believed to have started off in the late Qing Dynasty as a way for boatmen on the Yangtze River to keep warm during the cold and wet winters. In the beginning, the delicious dish was made (simple) by boiling vegetables, chillies and Sichuan peppers in water. Over time, it (expand) to include multiple options of soups, vegetables, meats and sauces, appealing to people of different (taste). What I love best about Sichuan hot pots is that they offer great opportunity to socialize with friends since a meal can last for hours. I instantly became a big fan of Sichuan hot pots I'll soon be back for more!
