They talk about the straw that broke the camel's back, but really it should be the password that wiped out my memory bank.
I was going along the -with instant recall of my bank PIN(密码), my mobile phone number and the date of my cousin's birthday before I downloaded a gas station payment app for its new customer discount. It asked me to create a password. When I typed in “gas 1”, it was rejected for not being complex enough. I tried again: “I Hate Hearless Oil Companies@”. But that was too long and didn’t include “at least one number”. But here is the thing: as soon as 1 added the fresh password into my memory, I instantly forgot all the others. My brain had hit its limit for passwords. I now know nothing.
I had entered some passwords in a notebook. Of course, I didn't write down the actual passwords, in case it fell into the wrong hands. Instead, I masked them in a way that only a family member could figure them out. For example, I combined my bank PIN with our postal code, then added it to a list of phone numbers. It would fool even Albert Einstein.
Maybe we need a system like the one we use to remember people's names. You know, you form an association between a person's characteristics and their name by whispering “Skinny George, Skinny George”in heart after meeting them. The risk is that, upon seeing him, you’ll burst out the phrase. “Skinny George” might not mind, but it’s possible “Boring Betty” will. As for remembering passwords as you change them, you could simply use the first and last letters of your favorite singer's greatest hits, together with the year of their release.
Maybe I’ll try that one out—but only after describing the system in the notebook. Then I'll hide it in a place so secret that I'll never remember where it is.
4. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs
A. He fell for a marketing trick. B. He was driven mad by passwords.
C. He had a serious memory disorder. D. He was rejected by the gas station.
5. By mentioning Albert Einstein in paragraph 3, the author intends to ______ .

C
No one likes interruption. We are born to seek balance and order. No matter what it is that you are doing, being interrupted involves a forceful stop midway and then having to re-enter your previous state, sometimes with great difficulty.
Popular belief has it that interruption breaks the flow of your thinking and affects productivity negatively, and so it is advisable that you have an uninterrupted session of intensive work before your next break.
However, a Russian psychologist, Bluma Zeigarnik, might tell you otherwise.
The connection between interruption and memory came to her attention when she was dining in a restaurant. She noticed how the waitresses had an amazing memory of the detailed orders yet to be paid for, but scarce memory of the orders that were already completed.
Back in her laboratory, she conducted studies in which subjects were required to complete various puzzles. Some of the subjects were interrupted during the tasks. All the subjects were then asked to describe what tasks they had done. It turns out that adults remembered the interrupted tasks 90% better than the completed tasks, and that children were even more likely to recall the uncompleted tasks. In other words, uncompleted tasks will stay on your mind until you finish them!
In comparison to tasks that were already finished and ones that we haven’t even started, half-done projects are given the priority in the mental to-do list our brains sketch out for us. Zeigarnik described this finding in her doctoral thesis (论文) in the late 1920s, which was later called Zeigarnik effect.
One possible explanation is that with interrupted tasks, we are desperate for their closure to reclaim a sense of balance. Finishing them also means that we can finally clear up the mental backlog (积压的工作) and give the space to more upcoming tasks.
Zeigarnik’s effect can be found everywhere, especially used in media and advertising. Have you ever wondered why cliffhangers work so well or why you just can’t get yourself to stop watching that series on Netflix
Ernest Hemingway once said about writing a novel, “It is the wait until the next day that is hard to get through.” So next time, when you are interrupted, appreciate it and take advantage of it to promote your productivity.
8. What is a common practice to finish a task
A. Working in a focused period. B. Working with occasional breaks.
C. Working with a stop midway. D. Working in an interrupted session.
9. What is the finding of the Zeigarnik’s experiment
A. Interruption recalls details. B. Interruption betters memory.
C. Interruption disturbs balance. D. Interruption reduces productivity.
10. Which of the following is an example of the application of Zeigarnik’s effect
A. Fashion shows. B. Online news.
C. Talk shows. D. TV series.
11. What is the possible reason behind Zeigarnik’s effect
A. The desire for balance. B. The physical backlog.
C. The outside pressure. D. The upcoming tasks.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Zeigarnik效应,以及出现这种情况的原因。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Popular belief has it that interruption breaks the flow of your thinking and affects productivity negatively, and so it is advisable that you have an uninterrupted session of intensive work before your next break.(人们普遍认为,打断会打断你的思维,对工作效率产生负面影响,所以建议你在下次休息前进行一段不受打扰的高强度工作)”可知,完成一项任务的常见做法是精力集中地工作一段时间。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“It turns out that adults remembered the interrupted tasks 90% better than the completed tasks, and that children were even more likely to recall the uncompleted tasks. In other words, uncompleted tasks will stay on your mind until you finish them!(结果表明,成年人对被打断的任务的记忆比完成的任务高出90%,而孩子们甚至更有可能回忆起未完成的任务。换句话说,未完成的任务会一直留在你的脑海里,直到你完成它们!)”可知,Zeigarnik的实验发现“中断”能提高记忆力。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第四段的“In comparison to tasks that were already finished and ones that we haven’t even started, half-done projects are given the priority in the mental to-do list our brains sketch out for us. (与已经完成的任务和还没有开始的任务相比,完成了一半的项目在我们的大脑为我们勾画的待办事项清单中被赋予了优先级)”可知,Zeigarnik效应指的是完成了一半的项目在我们大脑的待办事项清单中被赋予了优先等级。由此推知,看电视连续剧是Zeigarnik效应应用的一个例子,因为电视连续剧的剧集有时间间隔,导致人们被“中断”,以至于时刻想着看剧这件事。故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段的“One possible explanation is that with interrupted tasks, we are desperate for their closure to reclaim a sense of balance. Finishing them also means that we can finally clear up the mental backlog (积压的工作) and give the space to more upcoming tasks.(一种可能的解释是,对于被打断的任务,我们迫切希望结束它们,以恢复一种平衡感。完成它们也意味着我们最终可以清理心理上的积压,为更多即将到来的任务腾出空间)”可知,Zeigarnik效应可能的一个原因是渴望平衡。故选A。
D
Mosquitoes carry malaria (疟疾), which kills thousands of people each year. Now some researchers are trying to use genetic engineering to make the annoying insects into partners in the fight against the disease.
For years, public health officials have tried to limit the disease by controlling mosquito populations. “But that approach is temporary,” says Anthony James, a professor of biology and genetics at the University of California, Irvine, “Because mosquitoes are extremely tough little insects, and their populations can quickly rebound.”
Therefore, James and his colleagues want to try a different approach: making mosquitoes themselves into malaria-fighting warriors, which is a complete departure from traditional ways of controlling malaria.
To understand how it works, it helps to understand the life cycle of malaria. The malaria pathogen (病原体) is a parasite (寄生虫) that grows inside humans. It’s passed via mosquitoes that move from person to person, sucking blood. “If we can make the mosquitoes difficult for the pathogens to survive, we can wipe out the disease,” he says. But making mosquitoes uninviting to malaria is a tough job.
To solve the problem, the team used a gene-editing technique called CRISPR. They started with genes from mice, whose immune systems do fight human malaria, engineered those genes, and then gave them to the mosquitoes.
It turned out the malaria-fighting antibodies which gene-edited mosquitoes produced worked very well. They reduced the number of parasites in the mosquito before they were passed to a human host.
James’ team are now working on planning a field trial, which he hopes could be conducted on an island or in another isolated location.
But genetically changing wild animals does not sit well with environmentalists. “There’s no need to engineer a mosquito,” says Dana Perls, senior program manager for the emerging technology program at the non-profit Friends of the Earth. Perls points out that naturally occurring methods for reducing malaria appear to be showing promise, as does a new vaccine (疫苗) against the disease. “Why take unnecessary risks and release a species that can’t be recalled once it’s released into the wild ” she asks.
12. What can we know from the second and third paragraphs
A. Mosquitoes reproduce quickly.
B. Mosquitoes depart from malaria.
C. Mosquitoes are malaria-fighting warriors.
D. Mosquitoes’ populations are under control.
13. According to the text, which of the following are attractive to the malaria pathogen
A. Mice. B. Parasites. C. Mosquitoes. D. Gene-edited mosquitoes.
14. What is environmentalists’ attitude toward this new approach
A. Tolerant. B. Favorable. C. Objective. D. Disapproving.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Limiting Malaria by Controlling Mosquito Populations
B. Controlling Malaria by editing Mosquitoes’ genes
C. Curing Malaria with Gene-edited Mosquitoes
D. Preventing Malaria with a new vaccine
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍科学家想通过编辑蚊子的基因来控制疟疾,但环保人士反对这一做法。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Because mosquitoes are extremely tough little insects, and their populations can quickly rebound. (因为蚊子是非常顽强的小昆虫,它们的数量可以迅速回升)”可知,蚊子的繁殖速度很快。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“The malaria pathogen (病原体) is a parasite (寄生虫) that grows inside humans. It’s passed via mosquitoes that move from person to person, sucking blood. (疟疾病原体是一种生长在人体内的寄生虫。它通过蚊子在人与人之间传播,吸血)”以及“If we can make the mosquitoes difficult for the pathogens to survive, we can wipe out the disease (如果我们能让蚊子难以让病原体存活,我们就能消灭这种疾病)”可知,蚊子能吸引疟疾病原体。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“But genetically changing wild animals does not sit well with environmentalists.(但是,改变野生动物的基因并不受环保人士的欢迎)”和“Why take unnecessary risks and release a species that can’t be recalled once it’s released into the wild (为什么要冒不必要的风险,释放一个一旦被释放到野外就无法召回的物种 )”推知,环保人士对改变蚊子基因来消灭疟疾的方法是反对的。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并结合第三段“Therefore, James and his colleagues want to try a different approach: making mosquitoes themselves into malaria-fighting warriors, which is a complete departure from traditional ways of controlling malaria. (因此,詹姆斯和他的同事们想尝试一种不同的方法:让蚊子自己成为抗击疟疾的战士,这与控制疟疾的传统方法完全不同)”和倒数第三段“It turned out the malaria-fighting antibodies which gene-edited mosquitoes produced worked very well. They reduced the number of parasites in the mosquito before they were passed to a human host. (事实证明,经过基因编辑的蚊子产生的抗疟疾抗体效果非常好。它们减少了蚊子体内寄生虫的数量,然后将它们传给人类宿主)”可知,本文主要介绍科学家想通过编辑蚊子的基因来控制疟疾。故B项“Controlling Malaria by editing Mosquitoes’ genes (通过编辑蚊子基因控制疟疾)”可作为本文的最佳标题。故选B。
II 七选五(每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
Does your cat or dog suddenly get a burst of energy and perform athletic features around the house Welcome to the world of zoomies—intense periods of high-energy activity including running, jumping and rolling.
You might see post-bath zoomies, midnight zoomies and out of-nowhere zoomies. They have a lot in common with play. ____16____ If the zoomies are occurring as part of your animal’s regular play routine, this implies your animal is enjoying themselves. We don’t yet know if zoomies are more likely to occur at certain times of the day, or more in some than others. ____17____
Zoomies are mentioned a lot, but there is also little scientific research on what causes them, or how often they occur. Yet some conclusions can be drawn from experience. ____18____ In dogs, this is commonly a play bow- where the dog appears to “bow” to another to signal it is eager to play. In cats, an invitation may include repeatedly rolling over. If this is the case, your animal is likely experiencing excitement and a desire to interact with you.
____19____ Context is key. You should consult with your vet (兽医) if your dog or cat is displaying the behaviour (in particular, circling) for too long. It might be a sign of a repetitive behaviour disorder. If you struggle to distract or stop the behaviour, or if it is resulting in injuries, seek professional assistance.
Even if you don’t get the call of the zoomies yourself, take a moment to enjoy and even join your dog or cat in having fun. ____20____
A. Sometimes we all need to run wild.
B. This makes zoomies a whole load of fun.
C. It is our duty to figure out what they want exactly.
D. Nothing is more annoying than a midnight zoomie.
E. However, we do consider them evidence of a pretty good mood.
F. Sometimes, however, zoomies may be a sign of a medical condition.
G. In dogs and cats, zoomies can include an invitation for others to join.
【答案】16. B 17. E 18. G 19. F 20. A

(然而,我们确实认为它们是好心情的证据)”符合语境,选项中的them指代上文zoomies。故选E。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Yet some conclusions can be drawn from experience. (然而,我们可以从经验中得出一些结论)”和下文“In dogs, this is commonly a play bow- where the dog appears to “bow” to another to signal it is eager to play. In cats, an invitation may include repeatedly rolling over. If this is the case, your animal is likely experiencing excitement and a desire to interact with you. (对狗来说,这通常是一个玩耍的鞠躬——狗狗向另一只狗“鞠躬”,表示它渴望玩耍。对猫来说,一个邀请可能包括反复翻滚。如果是这样的话,你的动物可能会感到兴奋,并渴望与你互动)”推知,空处应陈述其中的一个结论——狗和猫疯跑可能是邀请同伴或主人和自己一起玩耍。G项“In dogs and cats, zoomies can include an invitation for others to join. (对狗和猫来说,疯跑可能包括邀请其他同类加入)”符合题意。故选G。
【19题详解】
根据下文“Context is key. You should consult with your vet (兽医) if your dog or cat is displaying the behaviour (in particular, circling) for too long. It might be a sign of a repetitive behaviour disorder. (事情发生的来龙去脉是关键。如果你的狗或猫长时间表现出这种行为(特别是盘旋),你应该咨询你的兽医。这可能是重复行为障碍的征兆)”可知,有时疯跑可能是猫狗生病的迹象。F项“Sometimes, however, zoomies may be a sign of a medical condition. (然而,有时,疯跑可能是一种疾病的征兆)”符合题意,开启下文,且与上文疯跑代表猫狗开心形成转折。故选F。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Even if you don’t get the call of the zoomies yourself, take a moment to enjoy and even join your dog or cat in having fun. (即使你自己不想疯跑,也要花点时间享受,甚至和你的狗或猫一起玩得开心)”推知,空处应陈述为什么自己不想,但也要和猫狗疯跑的原因。A项“Sometimes we all need to run wild.(有时,我们都需要疯跑)”符合题意。故选A。

Dubai’s Museum of the Future, named as one of the 14 most beautiful museums on the planet in a list by National Geographic magazine this July, opened in February 2023. It promises visitors an immersive (沉浸式的) experience that uses technology to represent art and encourages guests to imagine what the future could be like.
What are the exhibitions inside
Five of the seven floors are main exhibition spaces, each designed to look like a futuristic film set. The museum takes visitors on a journey to the year 2071 and creates scenes of what the future could be like in topics such as outer space resource development, ecosystems and bioengineering, health, wellness and spirituality.
How to get tickets
Entry to the museum costs Dh150, but is free for pre-school children, persons with disabilities and citizens aged 60 and over. Half price for students.
The tickets are on sale on the museum’s website www.motf.ae.

They talk about the straw that broke the camel's back, but really it should be the password that wiped out my memory bank.
I was going along the -with instant recall of my bank PIN(密码), my mobile phone number and the date of my cousin's birthday before I downloaded a gas station payment app for its new customer discount. It asked me to create a password. When I typed in “gas 1”, it was rejected for not being complex enough. I tried again: “I Hate Hearless Oil Companies@”. But that was too long and didn’t include “at least one number”. But here is the thing: as soon as 1 added the fresh password into my memory, I instantly forgot all the others. My brain had hit its limit for passwords. I now know nothing.
I had entered some passwords in a notebook. Of course, I didn't write down the actual passwords, in case it fell into the wrong hands. Instead, I masked them in a way that only a family member could figure them out. For example, I combined my bank PIN with our postal code, then added it to a list of phone numbers. It would fool even Albert Einstein.
Maybe we need a system like the one we use to remember people's names. You know, you form an association between a person's characteristics and their name by whispering “Skinny George, Skinny George”in heart after meeting them. The risk is that, upon seeing him, you’ll burst out the phrase. “Skinny George” might not mind, but it’s possible “Boring Betty” will. As for remembering passwords as you change them, you could simply use the first and last letters of your favorite singer's greatest hits, together with the year of their release.
Maybe I’ll try that one out—but only after describing the system in the notebook. Then I'll hide it in a place so secret that I'll never remember where it is.
4. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs
A. He fell for a marketing trick. B. He was driven mad by passwords.
C. He had a serious memory disorder. D. He was rejected by the gas station.
5. By mentioning Albert Einstein in paragraph 3, the author intends to ______ .
A. show how secure his passwords were
B. challenge the intelligence of scientists
C. prove the uselessness of his passwords
D. promote a more scientific password system
6. What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A. To encourage readers to use password notebooks.
B. To recommend a password-remembering method.
C. To complain about the trouble caused by passwords.
D. To point out the importance of using complex passwords.
7. What is the tone of the text
A. Inspiring. B. Indifferent. C. Humorous. D. Serious.
C
No one likes interruption. We are born to seek balance and order. No matter what it is that you are doing, being interrupted involves a forceful stop midway and then having to re-enter your previous state, sometimes with great difficulty.
Popular belief has it that interruption breaks the flow of your thinking and affects productivity negatively, and so it is advisable that you have an uninterrupted session of intensive work before your next break.
However, a Russian psychologist, Bluma Zeigarnik, might tell you otherwise.
The connection between interruption and memory came to her attention when she was dining in a restaurant. She noticed how the waitresses had an amazing memory of the detailed orders yet to be paid for, but scarce memory of the orders that were already completed.
Back in her laboratory, she conducted studies in which subjects were required to complete various puzzles. Some of the subjects were interrupted during the tasks. All the subjects were then asked to describe what tasks they had done. It turns out that adults remembered the interrupted tasks 90% better than the completed tasks, and that children were even more likely to recall the uncompleted tasks. In other words, uncompleted tasks will stay on your mind until you finish them!
In comparison to tasks that were already finished and ones that we haven’t even started, half-done projects are given the priority in the mental to-do list our brains sketch out for us. Zeigarnik described this finding in her doctoral thesis (论文) in the late 1920s, which was later called Zeigarnik effect.
One possible explanation is that with interrupted tasks, we are desperate for their closure to reclaim a sense of balance. Finishing them also means that we can finally clear up the mental backlog (积压的工作) and give the space to more upcoming tasks.
Zeigarnik’s effect can be found everywhere, especially used in media and advertising. Have you ever wondered why cliffhangers work so well or why you just can’t get yourself to stop watching that series on Netflix
Ernest Hemingway once said about writing a novel, “It is the wait until the next day that is hard to get through.” So next time, when you are interrupted, appreciate it and take advantage of it to promote your productivity.
8. What is a common practice to finish a task
A. Working in a focused period. B. Working with occasional breaks.
C. Working with a stop midway. D. Working in an interrupted session.
9. What is the finding of the Zeigarnik’s experiment
A. Interruption recalls details. B. Interruption betters memory.
C. Interruption disturbs balance. D. Interruption reduces productivity.
10. Which of the following is an example of the application of Zeigarnik’s effect
A. Fashion shows. B. Online news.
C. Talk shows. D. TV series.
11. What is the possible reason behind Zeigarnik’s effect
A. The desire for balance. B. The physical backlog.
C. The outside pressure. D. The upcoming tasks.
D
Mosquitoes carry malaria (疟疾), which kills thousands of people each year. Now some researchers are trying to use genetic engineering to make the annoying insects into partners in the fight against the disease.
For years, public health officials have tried to limit the disease by controlling mosquito populations. “But that approach is temporary,” says Anthony James, a professor of biology and genetics at the University of California, Irvine, “Because mosquitoes are extremely tough little insects, and their populations can quickly rebound.”
Therefore, James and his colleagues want to try a different approach: making mosquitoes themselves into malaria-fighting warriors, which is a complete departure from traditional ways of controlling malaria.
To understand how it works, it helps to understand the life cycle of malaria. The malaria pathogen (病原体) is a parasite (寄生虫) that grows inside humans. It’s passed via mosquitoes that move from person to person, sucking blood. “If we can make the mosquitoes difficult for the pathogens to survive, we can wipe out the disease,” he says. But making mosquitoes uninviting to malaria is a tough job.
To solve the problem, the team used a gene-editing technique called CRISPR. They started with genes from mice, whose immune systems do fight human malaria, engineered those genes, and then gave them to the mosquitoes.
It turned out the malaria-fighting antibodies which gene-edited mosquitoes produced worked very well. They reduced the number of parasites in the mosquito before they were passed to a human host.
James’ team are now working on planning a field trial, which he hopes could be conducted on an island or in another isolated location.
But genetically changing wild animals does not sit well with environmentalists. “There’s no need to engineer a mosquito,” says Dana Perls, senior program manager for the emerging technology program at the non-profit Friends of the Earth. Perls points out that naturally occurring methods for reducing malaria appear to be showing promise, as does a new vaccine (疫苗) against the disease. “Why take unnecessary risks and release a species that can’t be recalled once it’s released into the wild ” she asks.
12. What can we know from the second and third paragraphs
A. Mosquitoes reproduce quickly.
B. Mosquitoes depart from malaria.
C. Mosquitoes are malaria-fighting warriors.
D. Mosquitoes’ populations are under control.
13. According to the text, which of the following are attractive to the malaria pathogen
A. Mice. B. Parasites. C. Mosquitoes. D. Gene-edited mosquitoes.
14 What is environmentalists’ attitude toward this new approach
A. Tolerant. B. Favorable. C. Objective. D. Disapproving.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Limiting Malaria by Controlling Mosquito Populations
B. Controlling Malaria by editing Mosquitoes’ genes
C. Curing Malaria with Gene-edited Mosquitoes
D. Preventing Malaria with a new vaccine

You might see post-bath zoomies, midnight zoomies and out of-nowhere zoomies.

In cats, an invitation may include repeatedly rolling over. If this is the case, your animal is likely experiencing excitement and a desire to interact with you.
____19____ Context is key. You should consult with your vet (兽医) if your dog or cat is displaying the behaviour (in particular, circling) for too long. It might be a sign of a repetitive behaviour disorder. If you struggle to distract or stop the behaviour, or if it is resulting in injuries, seek professional assistance.
