You be the judge: should my phone-addicted friend go on a mobile detox(戒斷)
The prosecution(控方): James
My housemate and best friend spends every waking minute on TikTok. I know she works in social
media, but she’s now seriously addicted to it, even after she’s clocked off. Besides, she needs to stop
playing videos loudly around the house when I’m watching TV.
The defence: Marley
My job means I have to be on the ball with what’s trending online. I think James is jealous because
he’s got a rather boring job in accounting. I don’t go around playing videos at full volume all the time; I
think that’s only happened a handful of times. He’s exaggerating(夸張) there.
The jury(陪審團)of Guardian readers
While Marley’s use of TikTok may seem excessive to some, ultimately it is up to her how she
chooses to use her time. If James can’t accept that, he should move out.
Margo.29
Marley needs to put her phone down, live in the moment and think less about her social media
presence. She is guilty of not valuing an honest friend because she thinks a better life awaits her on
TikTok.
Stewart. 35
As a fellow phone addict, I do have sympathy for Marley. However, it’s more than a little rude to
have the sound turned on while watching TV together.
Peter, 40
The excessive use of social media is a crime and reflects poor control over social habits. Marley
needs to be more considerate of others.
Steve, 6
Now you be the judge
In our reader feedback section, tell us: should Marley get off TikTok and get a life
21. What is Marley’s reason for spending time on TikTok
A. She prefers avoiding interaction with James.
B. She needs to stay updated on online trends.
C. She enjoys sharing popular videos.
D. She finds an accounting job dull.

23. Where does the text most probably come from
A. A legal paper. B. A court record.
C.An interactive column. D. A lifestyle survey.

When she was young, Sylvia Colt-Lacayo noticed she was particularly fascinated with on-
screen stories. Media offered an escape when life was hard.
Watching Glee, she was thrilled to see a character who used a wheelchair like her — until she
learned the role was played by an actor who was not disabled. “I remember feeling so heartbroken and
betrayed (背叛), for no reason other than the fact that I felt seen for once as a 10-year-old watching
Glee, and the power of that,” says Colt-Lacayo.
Now, Colt-Lacayo is graduating from Stanford with a degree in film and media studies and is
heading to Hollywood with a passion for increasing disability representation and diversity in general.
“Representation matters, and I also think that diverse storytelling is what is most compelling (令人信
服的),” she said.
Representation shaped Colt-Lacayo’s path to Stanford. As a disabled Latina girl, she struggled to
imagine going to college, in part because she never saw adult wheelchair users in the media. In high
school, she met another Stanford student who was also a wheelchair user at a conference. Suddenly, a
new story felt possible.
When she arrived at Stanford, Colt-Lacayo knew she was often the first visibly disabled student
her professors and peers had interacted with. Her parents had taught her to advocate for herself, and
while she doesn’t claim the label “activist”, she asks for what she needs.
“Yes, there’s something that is in my DNA that makes my body different from other people’s.
But really, what makes me disabled is that people treat me differently, and I do not have equal access
to resources,” she said.
She brought this perspective to her Stanford experience. For her senior thesis (論文), she wrote a
screenplay examining how growing up with a disability impacts one’s relationship with oneself and
one’s understanding of the world.
Colt-Lacayo aims to become an agent for screenwriters and film directors. She hopes that
sharing her story gives others the example she wished for when she was young,
24. How did Colt-Lacayo initially feel while watching Glee
A. Honored and confident. B. Overjoyed and inspired.
C. Heartbroken and betrayed. D. Sorrowful and sympathetic.

25. What helped Colt-Lacayo picture herself going to college
A. Her keen interest in films and media.
B. Diverse stories she heard about disability.
C. An example of a disabled Stanford student.
D. A passion for increasing disability representation.
26. What insight did Colt-Lacayo gain about living with a disability
A. It influences one’s outlook on the world and oneself.
B. It mainly involves overcoming physical limitations.
C. It offers special advantages for accessing resources.
D. It naturally leads one to grow into a social activist.
27. What is the best title of the text
A. Struggling to Enter Stanford B. Speaking up for Equality
C. Telling Stories That Matter D. Conquering Physical Challenges
C
Do you have a brain for math New research indicates that levels of two key neurotransmitters
(腦神經傳遞素 ) —— glutamate (谷氨酸 ) and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)can predict
mathematical abilities, suggesting brain chemistry may be playing a role in those who find math easy.
The new study, published in the journal PLOS Biology, recruited 255 subjects extending a range
of six-year olds in primary school to university students. The research focused on glutamate and
GABA, known to play a role in brain plasticity (可塑性) and learning. Based on prior research, the
focus was on two brain regions linked with mathematical abilities —— the left intraparietal sulcus
(IPS頂葉內溝) and the left middle frontal gyrus (MFG 腦額中回).
The results were interestingly different. In the youngest subjects high GABA levels and low
glutamate levels in the left IPS were consistently associated with high math skills. But in the older
university group the exact opposite was seen: low GABA and high glutamate were linked with strong
mathematical abilities. Levels of both neurotransmitters in the MFG did not associate with math skills.
The group was tested twice over 18 months, allowing the researchers to see if these
neurotransmitter levels could predict mathematical ability into the future. And it worked, with
neurotransmitter levels effectively predicting one’s success on math tests completed a year and a half
later.
Another recent study from the same research team looked specifically at GABA levels in MFG of
14 to 18 year olds. That research indicated MFG GABA levels could effectively predict whether a
student was still studying math or had ceased that subject years prior.

Cohen Kadosh, one of the researchers working on the study, says this may indicate math
education can help stimulate the development of key brain regions. Further research will work on
whether certain learning interventions can help those children less interested in math so these brain
regions still get the developmental workout they need.
“Not every adolescent enjoys math so we need to investigate possible alternatives, such as
training in logic and reasoning that engage the same brain area as math.” says Cohen Kadosh.
28. What is the new study aimed at
A. Finding the tie between brain chemistry and math.
B. Exploring mental development of the subjects.
C. Testing the link between brain regions.
D. Revealing the structure of brain.
29. What can be learned from the findings
A. The levels of GABA decide one’s math skills.
B. Low MFG glutamate means poor math ability.
C. Neurotransmitters in the MFG affect math skills.
D. Math education may help with brain development.
30. Why does Cohen Kadosh propose investigating alternatives to math education
A. To make math easier and more approachable.
B. To increase students’ engagement with math concepts.
C. To reduce stress and anxiety associated with math.
D. To stimulate the same brain regions through different activities.
31. What can be the best title of the text
A. Factors Affecting Math Skills B. Ways to Promote Math Education
C. Math Ability Predicted by Neurotransmitters D. Brain Activities Involved in Math Study

Across the flat plateau of AlUla in Saudi Arabia, shades of gray-brown soil are dotted with areas
of dark rock— and a clearly defined circle of stones. Unmistakably constructed by humans, this
structure, called “standing stone circles” by archaeologists, was built around 7,500 years ago by a
people we barely know for a purpose we have long misunderstood.
In 2019, archaeologists from the University of Western Australia began excavating these
standing stone circles. Their initial idea was that these were structures built by Neolithic nomads (新石
器時代的游牧民) for some long-forgotten religious practices. However, excavating at multiple sites,
they found what turned out to be archaeological pay dirt—domestic rubbish. The remains of discarded

{#{QQABBQYEggigABIAABgCEwWgCEMQkgEAAYgOgFAAoAABSQFABAA=}#}
animal bones, household tools, and even jewelry, have reclassified the standing stone circles as
Neolithic homes.
Standing stone circles seem to have sprung up around 5,800 to 5,500 B. C. This coincided with a
warmer climate in the region that brought more regular rainfall and a landscape of rich grasses and trees,
good conditions for raising cattle and goats. But these were also good conditions for building permanent
structures. More abundant vegetation meant less pressure to keep moving the animals to fresh
grasslands, which made building homes more worthwhile. This, and the plateau’s abundance of stones,
may have encouraged the nomads to stay a while and build.
Excavations of these settlements are revealing something of this people’s way of life. They kept
cattle and goats for meat but continued to hunt and gather to expand their diet with hare, fruits and nuts.
The many grinding(磨碎) stones found on the sites suggest inhabitants were regularly grinding grains,
but these were likely to be gathered rather than farmed. The plateau sites have also revealed tools made
with materials from the sandstone valleys and jewelry shaped from shells from the Red Sea— these
Neolithic people had a complex culture involving travel and probably exchange.
The revelation overturns many of our assumptions about Neolithic AlUla. Here were a people
more settled and more civilized than history has given them credit for. Their story is just beginning to
be revealed, but already a very different picture of early AlUla is emerging.
32. What did the 2019 excavation finally identify the “standing stone circles” as
A. Religious sites. B. Domestic buildings.
C. Rubbish stations. D. Natural wonders.
33. What was a contributing factor in the building of the standing stone circles
A. The need to store goods. B. The worsening climate.
C. The richness of plants. D. The desire to raise more animals.
34. What is most likely true about Neolithic people’s way of life in AlUla
A. They made tools and jewelry purely from local materials.
B. They planted crops and kept cattle and goats.
C. They had interactions with other groups.
D. They relied entirely on hunting and gathering for food.
35. What is the purpose of the text
A. To promote a historical site. B. To introduce an ancient population.
C. To provide some new insights. D. To argue for some long- held beliefs.

Everyone knows that it takes 21 days to develop a new habit. We probably owe this particular
example of pop-psychology wisdom to Maxwell Maltz, the plastic surgeon who claimed to have
observed that individuals who had had an arm or leg cut off took an average of only 21 days to adjust to
the loss of a limb (肢體 ). 36 And therefore it must take 21 days to change a habit, maybe,
perhaps!
37 , as a new study by psychologist Phillippa Lally and her colleagues helps confirm. On
average, her subjects, who were trying to learn new habits such as eating fruit daily or going jogging,
took a depressing 66 days before reporting that the behavior had become unchangingly automatic.
38 . It couldn’t be just as easy to start eating a few more apples as to start finding five hours a week
to study Chinese.
Self-help culture sticks to the fiction of the 21-day rule, probably because it makes habit change
sound basically easy. 39 . Our brains are designed to take short cuts, making as many behaviors
as possible automatic. “Really,” asks the psychologist Ian Newby-Clark, “what would be the point of
having a habit that didn’t free up your mind to focus on more pressing matters ” Habits are meant to
be difficult to change.
Another problem is that we tend to think about habit change wrongly. We want to, say, stop
watching so much TV, but on the other hand, demonstrably, we also want to watch lots of TV—after all,
we keep doing it. We’re stuck deep in what the Greeks called “akrasia”: deciding on the best course of
action, then doing something else. 40 Simply stop watching TV is like dealing with a leaky
bathroom tap by repainting the kitchen. What’s required is an alternative way to feel relaxed and happy.
Maybe by looking at the problem differently we can slip out of them.
A. One problem with this is discouragingly simple: changing habits is hard
B. And some habits, unsurprisingly, were harder than others to make stick
C. Therefore, he reasoned the same must be true of all big changes
D. The way round this is to see that habits are responses to needs
E. We believe that habits are purely a matter of willpower
F. The 21-day rule does have some scientific basis
G. This is, of course, nonsense

The walk I’d plotted was 22 miles to the coast. It is enough to get the legs 41 and the mind
cleared. But the real 42 for me was walking to a definite point in our country’s outline.
I was wondering if I’d have the endurance (耐力) and determination to do it. I am, after all, in my
late 40s. I 43 the coast at 7: 00 am. I was, for the day, an arrow. My line of flight was as straight
and short as I could make it.
44 the five-hour mark, I was in a good state of body and mind. The 45 of the usual
routine had been eased by daydreams. From this point on, the 46 seemed to change. The banks on
either side were larger, and the grasses longer, even though the sea was still miles off.
Things were getting 47 . Despite feeling like I was nearly “there”, I still had four miles to go. I
was hurting my knees. I 48 the painkillers down with my secret weapon: coffee. Studies have
shown caffeine 49 endurance and it kept me going.
Try as I might, I still couldn’t see my walk’s end. I could even smell a(n) 50 in the air, but
the horizon remained 51 in salt marsh (鹽沼地). Then, almost without realizing it, I was “there”.
Where I had hoped to see the 52 , I saw salt marsh, like the chocolate milkshake of the North
Sea! Feeling like a bit of a fool, I headed down into the nearest marsh and left my boot prints in the mud.
The seven-and-a half-hour walk had hurt my 53 , but I’d acted on an old idea, done it, and
54 it off my list. I was now free to think of new ones and move on, in this dawn of possibilities we
all face. Life is too short to let ideas stagnate (停滯); now’s the time to turn them to 55 .

LA-based AD100 designer Jamie Bush embraces natural materials and bold designs that inspire
and delight. Originally trained 56 an architect, Bush is drawn to timeless pieces with clean lines,
such as minimalist furniture and bedding. When it comes to designing the perfect bedroom, here’s 57
Bush would approach it.
“You can use timeless pieces as a handsome 58 (found) for many aesthetic(美學的 )
languages,” Bush says. For example, Bush imagines thoughtful designs in a Scandinavian-style
bedroom 59 he’d center the space with a solid wood bed frame and headboard in a natural color.
The headboard creates a 60 (remarkable) simple setup, and it takes about five minutes to assemble
with no tools. “This furniture 61 (make) without veneers(飾面),” he says. “I like that you can see
the wood grains, the knots, and the natural imperfections in the product.”
To maintain a consistent horizon line, Bush would arrange two 4x3 storage units in 62
U-shape around three walls opposite the bed. 63 (allow) for infinite artful displays, the storage
units’ open drawers can be added or removed to create endless customizations that will never look 64
(date). “These pieces aren’t going to recall a certain day and age,” he says. “In 10, 15, 20 years from
now, these pieces 65 (be) timelessly in fashion.”

閱讀下面材料, 根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段, 使之構成一篇完整的短文。
Little free libraries have been dotting communities around the globe since the first one was set up
in Hudson, Wisconsin in 2009. During the pandemic (疫情 ), many people turned these libraries into
little free stores to help neighbors in need. The stores were filled with canned food, peanut butter, and
toilet paper. In Australia, a mother and her daughter decided to open a free plant stand to share flowers
and joy with her community.
Because of the pandemic, people were enclosed and lonely. This was certainly true of Vicky
Robinson and her daughter Rachel, who live in Redan, a suburb of Ballarat in Victoria.
The pair watched people walking by who looked sad and decided to come up with a way to cheer
them up. “So we thought, ‘what can we create through our home education that can put a smile on
people’s faces ’” the mother and daughter said.
Vicky looked at her front grassland and flowering rose bushes and suddenly had a bright idea.
Understanding that gardening was a natural treatment that helped her relax, she came up with the idea
for a plant exhibition stand that was like a little free plant library.
Her husband is a cupboard maker so he built a two-storied stand on their property line and filled
it with young plants and succulents (多肉植物) reproduced from their own plants. In bold letters, there
is a sign that reads, “Need a plant Take a plant. Have a plant Leave a plant.”
Despite having lived in Redan for 30 years, Vicky said that she never felt connected with her
community before. There is little cost involved in setting up the little free plant library. “It’s all worth it
just to see their smiles. We have developed trust with the community,” she said. “It leaves a legacy. It
creates a bond in a circle, from generation to generation.”

Dear Jasper,
I’m glad that you found my presentation on biodiversity research at the “3-Minute Science Speech
Activity” interesting. It’s been a really cool project, and it was filled with challenges.
The biggest problem I encountered was the limited experimental conditions and equipment, which
made it difficult to analyze the data I collected. To address this issue, I sought help from my biology
teacher, who was incredibly helpful with several alternative methods for data analysis. Then, I adopted a
creative approach, computer modeling, to estimate the impact of different environmental variables on
species diversity and distribution within a specific ecosystem.
As you can see, it wasn’t plain sailing, but I worked it out eventually. Isn’t that what science is all
about (119詞）
Yours,

Dear Jasper,
I’m really glad you liked my 3-minute Science Speech. You asked about the challenges in
biodiversity research in your email, and here’s what I’ve got to say.
There are tons of challenges for a senior high like me to conduct biodiversity research! When I was
cataloging the scientific names and growth cycles of the plants in Wenzhou Sanyang Wetland Park, I
had trouble identifying some unfamiliar plant varieties. So, I did extensive rescarch using online
databases. You know what I found a website that allowed users to upload images for professional
identification of various plants. My biology teacher was a huge help as well. She even introduced a
professional botanist to me.
These challenges didn’t stop me. Instead, they made me more determined. After all, that’s what
science is all about. So, keep that curiosity about science alive, Jasper, and don’t hesitate to reach out if
needed.（147詞）
Yours,

On the first day, all their plants were taken away. Vicky and Rachel watched with a sense of
accomplishment as the last plant was carefully plucked from the soil and taken by a grateful passer-by.
They had set out to brighten their neighbors’ lives with greenery, and the swift disappearance of the
plants from the stand was a clear sign that their idea was being embraced. As the sun set, they reflected
on the day’s events, feeling a sense of connection to their community that they had never experienced
before. Little did they know that their stand was about to become a symbol of giving and growth.
The next day a wonder happened. As Vicky and Rachel walked to their plant stand, they were
astonished to see it filled with even more plants than before. Colorful succulents, vibrant flowers, and
lush green plants greeted them, and a small note hung from the sign. “Thank you for your kindness.
Here are some plants to add to your collection.” The note was signed by several neighbors, and Vicky
and Rachel realized that their small act of kindness had sparked a community-wide movement. People
were bringing plants to share, creating a beautiful and vibrant garden that brought joy to all who passed
by.
【導語】本文以人物為線索展開。文章講述了 Vicky Robinson和她的女兒 Rachel在疫情期間為了

W: Welcome everybody to today’s team meeting. Thank you very much for attending. But has anybody
seen Charles
M: Yeah, I did see him in the kitchen making a cup of tea. So I’m sure he won’t be long.

M: Hi, Jane. Do you have any plans for this weekend
W: Not really. Just reading and maybe doing some grocery shopping. How about you
M: I’m thinking of having an outing if the weather holds up. There’s a beautiful trail in the forest that
I’ve been wanting to explore. Would you like to join me
W: Why not That sounds like a perfect plan. I hope the weather cooperates so we can enjoy it fully.

W: Good afternoon, officer. I need to report a break-in. Someone entered my home while I was away.
M: Sorry to hear that. Can you tell me when this happened
W: I left for work at around 8 a.m. and came back at about 6 p.m. That’s when I noticed my back door
was open.
M: Did you see any signs of forced entry, like broken locks or windows
W: The lock and the windows didn’t look damaged, but my belongings were everywhere inside.
M: What items are you aware are missing at this point
W: My laptop, some cash that was in a drawer, and a few pieces of jewelry. I can provide a list and
descriptions.
M: That would be helpful. We’ll get in touch for a follow-up.
W: Thank you, officer.

W: Hey, Steve, I hear you started a band.
M: Yeah, I play the guitar and some friends and I got together to start making music. We’ve been
practicing for a couple of months and I think we’re ready to have a concert.
W: Great. Are you going to have the show soon
M: Yeah, hopefully sometime in the next couple of weeks. We’re pretty busy preparing for the final
examinations, but I think we can squeeze in a show before summer starts.
W: Cool. Where is it going to be
M: We wanted to do it in the campus music hall. We play rock and roll. It’s kind of loud, so it’d sound
great in there. The problem is the Music Hall’s already been booked for the next few weekends.
W: So what are you going to do
M: Well, there are no weekends left before summer, but there is an opening next Tuesday night. We
could do the show then.

W: Yeah, I’m trying to pay attention. It’s been pretty bad in some places, heat waves, hurricanes, and it’s
been the wettest January on record in the UK at the moment.
M: Right. So do you think that’s because of climate change Are you a climate change believer or a
climate change denier
W: Well, I think it’s hard to deny, really. I think what humans do to the planet is going to have some
consequences. And science is science. You know, it’s backed up by evidence and facts. And scientists
don’t say things until they know it’s true.
M: I see. I’ve read quite a lot about it. And yes, there is science to support it. But I don’t know, there are
also a lot of questions that aren’t answered yet. It’s a very complex issue. I mean, these global
systems of weather, we just don’t really understand them.

M: Jane, you are so fair-skinned. Do you get burnt easily in the sun
W: I do. I have to be careful not to get burned. I’m careful with my sunscreen cream. How about you
M: Well, I’m not a sunbather. I can’t think of anything more boring than sunbathing, to be quite honest
with you. I’d rather be more active doing some sort of swimming, some sort of activity.
W: I enjoy swimming in the ocean, too. If I go to the beach, I don’t sunbathe at all. I sit in the shade
until I just want to swim in the ocean. I also love to go diving to see something. That’s a lot more fun.
M: Yeah, see something and explore a bit. I mean the sea creatures are actually fascinating really. When
you go diving, it’s as if you have gone into a new world.
W: Yes, but it is a pity that I couldn’t do that here in Sweden.
M: Yeah, the water is too cold and there is not much to see underwater. But I know a Danish girl, very
strong, blond hair and every day of the year without fail she swims in the sea.
W: Oh, my goodness!
M: When there are big blocks of ice in the sea, she will still be swimming. She really believes that it is
good for blood circulation, but I don’t want to follow her.

You be the judge: should my phone-addicted friend go on a mobile detox(戒斷)
The prosecution(控方): James
My housemate and best friend spends every waking minute on TikTok. I know she works in social
media, but she’s now seriously addicted to it, even after she’s clocked off. Besides, she needs to stop
playing videos loudly around the house when I’m watching T V.
The defence: Marley
My job means I have to be on the ball with what’s trending online. I think James is jealous because
he’s got a rather boring job in accounting. I don’t go around playing videos at full volume all the time; I
think that’s only happened a handful of times. He’s exaggerating(夸張) there.
The jury(陪審團)of Guardian readers
While Marley’s use of TikTok may seem excessive to some, ultimately it is up to her how she
chooses to use her time. If James can’t accept that, he should move out.
Margo.29
Marley needs to put her phone down, live in the moment and think less about her social media
presence. She is guilty of not valuing an honest friend because she thinks a better life awaits her on
TikTok.
Stewart. 35
As a fellow phone addict, I do have sympathy for Marley. However, it’s more than a little rude to
have the sound turned on while watching TV together.
Peter, 40
The excessive use of social media is a crime and reflects poor control over social habits. Marley
needs to be more considerate of others. Now you be the judge In our reader feedback section, tell us: should Marley get off TikTok and get a life 21. What is Marley’s reason for spending time on TikTok A. She prefers avoiding interaction with James. B. She needs to stay updated on online trends. C. She enjoys sharing popular videos. D.

When she was young, Sylvia Colt-Lacayo noticed she was particularly fascinated with on-
screen stories. Media offered an escape when life was hard.
Watching Glee, she was thrilled to see a character who used a wheelchair like her — until she
learned the role was played by an actor who was not disabled. “I remember feeling so heartbroken and
betrayed (背叛), for no reason other than the fact that I felt seen for once as a 10-year-old watching
Glee, and the power of that,” says Colt-Lacayo.
Now, Colt-Lacayo is graduating from Stanford with a degree in film and media studies and is
heading to Hollywood with a passion for increasing disability representation and diversity in general.
“Representation matters, and I also think that diverse storytelling is what is most compelling (令人信
服的),” she said.
Representation shaped Colt-Lacayo’s path to Stanford. As a disabled Latina girl, she struggled to
imagine going to college, in part because she never saw adult wheelchair users in the media. In high
school, she met another Stanford student who was also a wheelchair user at a conference. Suddenly, a
new story felt possible.
When she arrived at Stanford, Colt-Lacayo knew she was often the first visibly disabled student
her professors and peers had interacted with. Her parents had taught her to advocate for herself, and
while she doesn’t claim the label “activist”, she asks for what she needs.
“Yes, there’s something that is in my DNA that makes my body different from other people’s.
But really, what makes me disabled is that people treat me differently, and I do not have equal access
to resources,” she said.
She brought this perspective to her Stanford experience. For her senior thesis (論文), she wrote a
screenplay examining how growing up with a disability impacts one’s relationship with oneself and
one’s understanding of the world.
Colt-Lacayo aims to become an agent for screenwriters and film directors. She hopes that
sharing her story gives others the example she wished for when she was young,
24. How did Colt-Lacayo initially feel while watching Glee
A. Honored and confident. B. Overjoyed and inspired.
C. Heartbroken and betrayed. D. Sorrowful and sympathetic.

25. What helped Colt-Lacayo picture herself going to college
A. Her keen interest in films and media.
B. Diverse stories she heard about disability.
C. An example of a disabled Stanford student.
D. A passion for increasing disability representation.
26. What insight did Colt-Lacayo gain about living with a disability
A. It influences one’s outlook on the world and oneself.
B. It mainly involves overcoming physical limitations.
C. It offers special advantages for accessing resources.
D. It naturally leads one to grow into a social activist.
27. What is the best title of the text
A. Struggling to Enter Stanford B. Speaking up for Equality
C. Telling Stories That Matter D. Conquering Physical Challenges
C
Do you have a brain for math New research indicates that levels of two key neurotransmitters
( 腦 神 經 傳 遞 素 ) —— glutamate ( 谷 氨 酸 ) and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)can predict
mathematical abilities, suggesting brain chemistry may be playing a role in those who find math easy.
The new study, published in the journal PLOS Biology, recruited 255 subjects extending a range
of six-year olds in primary school to university students. The research focused on glutamate and
GABA, known to play a role in brain plasticity (可塑性) and learning. Based on prior research, the
focus was on two brain regions linked with mathematical abilities —— the left intraparietal sulcus
(IPS 頂葉內溝) and the left middle frontal gyrus (MFG 腦額中回).
The results were interestingly different. In the youngest subjects high GABA levels and low
glutamate levels in the left IPS were consistently associated with high math skills. But in the older
university group the exact opposite was seen: low GABA and high glutamate were linked with strong
mathematical abilities. Levels of both neurotransmitters in the MFG did not associate with math skills.
The group was tested twice over 18 months, allowing the researchers to see if these
neurotransmitter levels could predict mathematical ability into the future. And it worked, with
neurotransmitter levels effectively predicting one’s success on math tests completed a year and a half
later.
Another recent study from the same research team looked specifically at GABA levels in MFG of
14 to 18 year olds. That research indicated MFG GABA levels could effectively predict whether a
student was still studying math or had ceased that subject years prior.

Cohen Kadosh, one of the researchers working on the study, says this may indicate math
education can help stimulate the development of key brain regions. Further research will work on
whether certain learning interventions can help those children less interested in math so these brain
regions still get the developmental workout they need.
“Not every adolescent enjoys math so we need to investigate possible alternatives, such as
training in logic and reasoning that engage the same brain area as math.” says Cohen Kadosh.
28. What is the new study aimed at
A. Finding the tie between brain chemistry and math.
B. Exploring mental development of the subjects.
C. Testing the link between brain regions.
D. Revealing the structure of brain.
29. What can be learned from the findings
A. The levels of GABA decide one’s math skills.
B. Low MFG glutamate means poor math ability.
C. Neurotransmitters in the MFG affect math skills.
D. Math education may help with brain development.
30. Why does Cohen Kadosh propose investigating alternatives to math education
A. To make math easier and more approachable.
B. To increase students’ engagement with math concepts.
C. To reduce stress and anxiety associated with math.
D. To stimulate the same brain regions through different activities.

Across the flat plateau of AlUla in Saudi Arabia, shades of gray-brown soil are dotted with areas
of dark rock — and a clearly defined circle of stones. Unmistakably constructed by humans, this
structure, called “standing stone circles” by archaeologists, was built around 7,500 years ago by a
people we barely know for a purpose we have long misunderstood.
In 2019, archaeologists from the University of Western Australia began excavating these
standing stone circles. Their initial idea was that these were structures built by Neolithic nomads (新石
器時代的游牧民) for some long-forgotten religious practices. However, excavating at multiple sites,
they found what turned out to be archaeological pay dirt—domestic rubbish. The remains of discarded
高三 12 月考英語試卷 6
animal bones, household tools, and even jewelry, have reclassified the standing stone circles as
Neolithic homes.
Standing stone circles seem to have sprung up around 5,800 to 5,500 B. C. This coincided with a
warmer climate in the region that brought more regular rainfall and a landscape of rich grasses and trees,
good conditions for raising cattle and goats. But these were also good conditions for building permanent
structures. More abundant vegetation meant less pressure to keep moving the animals to fresh
grasslands, which made building homes more worthwhile. This, and the plateau’s abundance of stones,
may have encouraged the nomads to stay a while and build.
Excavations of these settlements are revealing something of this people’s way of life. They kept
cattle and goats for meat but continued to hunt and gather to expand their diet with hare, fruits and nuts.
The many grinding(磨碎) stones found on the sites suggest inhabitants were regularly grinding grains,
but these were likely to be gathered rather than farmed. The plateau sites have also revealed tools made
with materials from the sandstone valleys and jewelry shaped from shells from the Red Sea—these
Neolithic people had a complex culture involving travel and probably exchange.
The revelation overturns many of our assumptions about Neolithic AlUla. Here were a people
more settled and more civilized than history has given them credit for. Their story is just beginning to
be revealed, but already a very different picture of early AlUla is emerging.
32. What did the 2019 excavation finally identify the “standing stone circles” as
A. Religious sites. B. Domestic buildings.
C. Rubbish stations. D. Natural wonders.
33. What was a contributing factor in the building of the standing stone circles
A. The need to store goods. B. The worsening climate.
C. The richness of plants. D. The desire to raise more animals.
34. What is most likely true about Neolithic people’s way of life in AlUla
A. They made tools and jewelry purely from local materials.
B. They planted crops and kept cattle and goats.
C. They had interactions with other groups.
D. They relied entirely on hunting and gathering for food.
35. What is the purpose of the text
A. To promote a historical site. B. To introduce an ancient population.
C. To provide some new insights. D. To argue for some long- held beliefs.

Everyone knows that it takes 21 days to develop a new habit. We probably owe this particular
example of pop-psychology wisdom to Maxwell Maltz, the plastic surgeon who claimed to have
observed that individuals who had had an arm or leg cut off took an average of only 21 days to adjust to
the loss of a limb (肢體). 36 And therefore it must take 21 days to change a habit, maybe,
perhaps!
37 , as a new study by psychologist Phillippa Lally and her colleagues helps confirm. On
average, her subjects, who were trying to learn new habits such as eating fruit daily or going jogging,
took a depressing 66 days before reporting that the behavior had become unchangingly automatic.
38 . It couldn’t be just as easy to start eating a few more apples as to start finding five hours a week
to study Chinese.
Self-help culture sticks to the fiction of the 21-day rule, probably because it makes habit change
sound basically easy. 39 . Our brains are designed to take short cuts, making as many behaviors
as possible automatic. “Really,” asks the psychologist Ian Newby-Clark, “what would be the point of
having a habit that didn’t free up your mind to focus on more pressing matters ” Habits are meant to
be difficult to change.
Another problem is that we tend to think about habit change wrongly. We want to, say, stop
watching so much T V, but on the other hand, demonstrably, we also want to watch lots of TV—after all,
we keep doing it. We’re stuck deep in what the Greeks called “akrasia”: deciding on the best course of
action, then doing something else. 40 Simply stop watching TV is like dealing with a leaky
bathroom tap by repainting the kitchen. What’s required is an alternative way to feel relaxed and happy.
Maybe by looking at the problem differently we can slip out of them.
A. One problem with this is discouragingly simple: changing habits is hard
B. And some habits, unsurprisingly, were harder than others to make stick
C. Therefore, he reasoned the same must be true of all big changes
D. The way round this is to see that habits are responses to needs
E. We believe that habits are purely a matter of willpower
F. The 21-day rule does have some scientific basis
G. This is, of course, nonsense

The walk I’d plotted was 22 miles to the coast. It is enough to get the legs 41 and the mind
cleared. But the real 42 for me was walking to a definite point in our country’s outline.
I was wondering if I’d have the endurance (耐力) and determination to do it. I am, after all, in my
late 40s. I 43 the coast at 7: 00 am. I was, for the day, an arrow. My line of flight was as straight
and short as I could make it.
44 the five-hour mark, I was in a good state of body and mind. The 45 of the usual
routine had been eased by daydreams. From this point on, the 46 seemed to change. The banks on
either side were larger, and the grasses longer, even though the sea was still miles off.
Things were getting 47 . Despite feeling like I was nearly “there”, I still had four miles to go. I
was hurting my knees. I 48 the painkillers down with my secret weapon: coffee. Studies have
shown caffeine 49 endurance and it kept me going.
Try as I might, I still couldn’t see my walk’s end. I could even smell a(n) 50 in the air, but
the horizon remained 51 in salt marsh (鹽沼地). Then, almost without realizing it, I was “there”.

LA-based AD100 designer Jamie Bush embraces natural materials and bold designs that inspire
and delight. Originally trained 56 an architect, Bush is drawn to timeless pieces with clean lines,
such as minimalist furniture and bedding. When it comes to designing the perfect bedroom, here’s 57
Bush would approach it.
“You can use timeless pieces as a handsome 58 (found) for many aesthetic( 美 學 的 )
languages,” Bush says. For example, Bush imagines thoughtful designs in a Scandinavian-style
bedroom 59 he’d center the space with a solid wood bed frame and headboard in a natural color.
The headboard creates a 60 (remarkable) simple setup, and it takes about five minutes to assemble
with no tools. “This furniture 61 (make) without veneers(飾面),” he says. “I like that you can see
the wood grains, the knots, and the natural imperfections in the product.”
To maintain a consistent horizon line, Bush would arrange two 4x3 storage units in 62
U-shape around three walls opposite the bed. 63 (allow) for infinite artful displays, the storage
units’ open drawers can be added or removed to create endless customizations that will never look 64
(date). “These pieces aren’t going to recall a certain day and age,” he says. “In 10, 15, 20 years from
now, these pieces 65 (be) timelessly in fashion.”

第二節（滿分 25 分）
閱讀下面材料, 根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段, 使之構成一篇完整的短文。
Little free libraries have been dotting communities around the globe since the first one was set up
in Hudson, Wisconsin in 2009. During the pandemic (疫情), many people turned these libraries into
little free stores to help neighbors in need. The stores were filled with canned food, peanut butter, and
toilet paper. In Australia, a mother and her daughter decided to open a free plant stand to share flowers
and joy with her community.
Because of the pandemic, people were enclosed and lonely. This was certainly true of Vicky
Robinson and her daughter Rachel, who live in Redan, a suburb of Ballarat in Victoria.
The pair watched people walking by who looked sad and decided to come up with a way to cheer
them up. “So we thought, ‘what can we create through our home education that can put a smile on
people’s faces ’” the mother and daughter said.
Vicky looked at her front grassland and flowering rose bushes and suddenly had a bright idea.
Understanding that gardening was a natural treatment that helped her relax, she came up with the idea
for a plant exhibition stand that was like a little free plant library.
Her husband is a cupboard maker so he built a two-storied stand on their property line and filled
it with young plants and succulents (多肉植物) reproduced from their own plants. In bold letters, there
is a sign that reads, “Need a plant Take a plant. Have a plant Leave a plant.”
Despite having lived in Redan for 30 years, Vicky said that she never felt connected with her
community before. There is little cost involved in setting up the little free plant library. “It’s all worth it
just to see their smiles. We have developed trust with the community,” she said. “It leaves a legacy. It
creates a bond in a circle, from generation to generation.”

Dear Jasper,
I’m glad that you found my presentation on biodiversity research at the “3-Minute Science Speech
Activity” interesting. It’s been a really cool project, and it was filled with challenges.
The biggest problem I encountered was the limited experimental conditions and equipment, which
made it difficult to analyze the data I collected. To address this issue, I sought help from my biology
teacher, who was incredibly helpful with several alternative methods for data analysis. Then, I adopted a
creative approach, computer modeling, to estimate the impact of different environmental variables on
species diversity and distribution within a specific ecosystem.
As you can see, it wasn’t plain sailing, but I worked it out eventually. Isn’t that what science is all
about (119 詞）
Yours,

Dear Jasper,
I’m really glad you liked my 3-minute Science Speech. You asked about the challenges in
biodiversity research in your email, and here’s what I’ve got to say.
There are tons of challenges for a senior high like me to conduct biodiversity research! When I was
cataloging the scientific names and growth cycles of the plants in Wenzhou Sanyang Wetland Park, I
had trouble identifying some unfamiliar plant varieties. So, I did extensive rescarch using online
databases. You know what I found a website that allowed users to upload images for professional
identification of various plants. My biology teacher was a huge help as well. She even introduced a
professional botanist to me.
These challenges didn’t stop me. Instead, they made me more determined. After all, that’s what
science is all about. So, keep that curiosity about science alive, Jasper, and don’t hesitate to reach out if
needed.（147 詞）
Yours,

On the first day, all their plants were taken away. Vicky and Rachel watched with a sense of
accomplishment as the last plant was carefully plucked from the soil and taken by a grateful passer-by.
They had set out to brighten their neighbors’ lives with greenery, and the swift disappearance of the
plants from the stand was a clear sign that their idea was being embraced. As the sun set, they reflected
on the day’s events, feeling a sense of connection to their community that they had never experienced
before. Little did they know that their stand was about to become a symbol of giving and growth.
The next day a wonder happened. As Vicky and Rachel walked to their plant stand, they were
astonished to see it filled with even more plants than before. Colorful succulents, vibrant flowers, and
lush green plants greeted them, and a small note hung from the sign. “Thank you for your kindness.
Here are some plants to add to your collection.” The note was signed by several neighbors, and Vicky
and Rachel realized that their small act of kindness had sparked a community-wide movement. People
were bringing plants to share, creating a beautiful and vibrant garden that brought joy to all who passed
by.

M: Hi, Jane. Do you have any plans for this weekend
W: Not really. Just reading and maybe doing some grocery shopping. How about you
M: I’m thinking of having an outing if the weather holds up. There’s a beautiful trail in the forest that
I’ve been wanting to explore. Would you like to join me
W: Why not That sounds like a perfect plan. I hope the weather cooperates so we can enjoy it fully.

W: Good afternoon, officer. I need to report a break-in. Someone entered my home while I was away.
M: Sorry to hear that. Can you tell me when this happened
W: I left for work at around 8 a.m. and came back at about 6 p.m. That’s when I noticed my back door
was open.
M: Did you see any signs of forced entry, like broken locks or windows
W: The lock and the windows didn’t look damaged, but my belongings were everywhere inside.
M: What items are you aware are missing at this point
W: My laptop, some cash that was in a drawer, and a few pieces of jewelry. I can provide a list and

practicing for a couple of months and I think we’re ready to have a concert.
W: Great. Are you going to have the show soon
M: Yeah, hopefully sometime in the next couple of weeks. We’re pretty busy preparing for the final
examinations, but I think we can squeeze in a show before summer starts.
W: Cool. Where is it going to be
M: We wanted to do it in the campus music hall. We play rock and roll. It’s kind of loud, so it’d sound
great in there. The problem is the Music Hall’s already been booked for the next few weekends.
W: So what are you going to do
M: Well, there are no weekends left before summer, but there is an opening next Tuesday night. We
could do the show then.

W: Yeah, I’m trying to pay attention. It’s been pretty bad in some places, heat waves, hurricanes, and it’s
been the wettest January on record in the UK at the moment.
M: Right. So do you think that’s because of climate change Are you a climate change believer or a
climate change denier
W: Well, I think it’s hard to deny, really. I think what humans do to the planet is going to have some
consequences. And science is science. You know, it’s backed up by evidence and facts. And scientists
don’t say things until they know it’s true.
M: I see. I’ve read quite a lot about it. And yes, there is science to support it. But I don’t know, there are
also a lot of questions that aren’t answered yet. It’s a very complex issue. I mean, these global
systems of weather, we just don’t really understand them.

M: Jane, you are so fair-skinned. Do you get burnt easily in the sun
W: I do. I have to be careful not to get burned. I’m careful with my sunscreen cream. How about you
M: Well, I’m not a sunbather. I can’t think of anything more boring than sunbathing, to be quite honest
with you. I’d rather be more active doing some sort of swimming, some sort of activity.
W: I enjoy swimming in the ocean, too. If I go to the beach, I don’t sunbathe at all. I sit in the shade
until I just want to swim in the ocean. I also love to go diving to see something. That’s a lot more fun.
M: Yeah, see something and explore a bit. I mean the sea creatures are actually fascinating really. When
you go diving, it’s as if you have gone into a new world.
W: Yes, but it is a pity that I couldn’t do that here in Sweden.
M: Yeah, the water is too cold and there is not much to see underwater. But I know a Danish girl, very
strong, blond hair and every day of the year without fail she swims in the sea.
W: Oh, my goodness!
M: When there are big blocks of ice in the sea, she will still be swimming. She really believes that it is
good for blood circulation, but I don’t want to follow her.
