Monica Bertagnolli is an oncologist (腫瘤學家) at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and a professor of surgery at Harvard Medical School. Growing up in Wyoming, she was well aware of the lack of health care resources in rural areas. Access to in-depth care for cancer patients is hard to get. She’s worked throughout her career to change that.
In Wyoming, there’s a great distance to travel between where people live and where they can find a cancer specialist. “If you need treatments and they have to be administered every day, and if it’s 120 miles from where you live, that ends up being a huge barrier to receiving the kind of care you need.”
And now Monica serves as the vice president of the Coalition (聯盟) of Cancer Cooperative Groups (CCCG) — an international network of individuals who work to improve the quality of life and survival of cancer patients by increasing participation in cancer clinical trials.
She said, “One of the really important things is, we’re trying to make sure that cancer clinical trials can get to every single patient who needs them in my own state.” The coalition set up sites in northern and southern Wyoming that are able to run clinical trials. Before those trials became available, patients would usually go to Denver or Salt Lake City — a three-to-seven-hour drive.
Monica’s efforts to increase access to the health care needs of her rural Wyoming patients also include helping to develop new policies that will allow patients to participate in more clinical trials, and linking them with a regional doctor who can get them the access to the care they need.
In addition to the clinical trials, Monica said that technology’s progress like better cell phone and internet service in the mountains of Wyoming, as well as social media, has helped rural residents stay in touch with loved ones and medical professionals despite their distance. She is trying to advocate strongly for those changes to continue.
“I still consider myself part of Wyoming and I am very devoted to making sure that patients can get access to care.”
24. What do rural cancer patients in Wyoming need most
A. Medical treatment. B. Better housing
C. Further education. D. Public transportation.
25. How has Monica helped the cancer patients
A. By training medical professionals. B. By offering clinical trials.
C. By improving internet service. D. By advocating financial aid.
26. Which of the following can best describe Monica
A. Determined and loyal. B. Honest and generous.
C. Dedicated and responsible. D. Grateful and courageous.
27. What is a suitable title for the text
A．A hope for cancer patients B. A push for progress
C. A pioneer for cancer treatment D. A helper for cancer patients
C
From students to executives, intelligence is shown to be a key factor in better leadership, as it is vital for navigating through complex situations like market changes and legal obstacles. But new research on leadership suggests that having a higher IO can be viewed as harmful.
Past studies indicate that groups led by smarter individuals tend to perform better objectively, yet some research suggests followers perceive extremely intelligent leaders as less effective. Dean Simonton from the University of California, proposed that such leaders’ complex ideas might be difficult for people to grasp, their solutions harder to carry out, and followers might find it harder to relate to them. Recently, Simonton and his team put this theory to the test.
The researchers looked at 379 male and female business leaders, across fields that included banking, retail (零售) and technology. The managers took IQ tests, and each was rated on leadership style and effectiveness by an average of eight co-workers. IQ positively correlated with ratings of leader effectiveness, strategy formation, vision and several other characteristics—up to a point. The ratings peaked at an IQ of around 120, which is higher than 8 percent of office workers. Beyond that the ratings declined. The researchers suggest the "ideal" IO could be higher or lower in various fields, depending on whether technical versus social skills are more valued in a given work culture.
“It’s an interesting and thoughtful paper,” says Paul Sackett, a psychology professor at the University of Minnesota. “To me, the right interpretation of the work would be that it highlights a need to understand what high-IQ leaders do that leads to lower opinions by followers. The wrong interpretation would be, ‘Don’t hire high-IQ leaders.”
The study’s lead author, John Antonakis, a psychologist at the University of Lausanne, suggests leaders should use their intelligence to generate creative metaphors (隱喻) that will persuade and inspire others—the way former U. S. President Obama did. “I think the only way a smart person can signal their intelligence appropriately and still connect with the people,” Antonakis says, “is to speak in appealing ways.”
28. Why are some high-IO leaders regarded as less effective
A. Followers assess them irresponsibly.
B. They fail to express themselves properly.
C. Followers lack understanding power.
D. They perform better by objective measures.
29. What does the IQ tests indicate
A. IQ isn’t related to leader effectiveness.
B. IQ tests are useless and imperfect.
C. IQ can be affected by certain factors.
D. IO is related to people’s social status.
30. What can be inferred from what Paul Sackett says
A. The research can be interpreted differently.
B. He was not involved in the research.
C. High-IQ leaders can’t be employed.
D. The research is interesting and accurate.
31. The “Obama” example in the last paragraph illustrates ______.
A how to communicate with people effectively
B. how to be a high-IQ leader in the future
C. what is the appealing way to speak to voters
D. what is the best way to generate creative metaphors
D
New research has found a link between the height of ceilings in exam halls and the performance of students. While the shape of a room can't make you smarter, the environments we're in have an effect on us. The authors of the study suggest that big and open rooms, with high ceilings, make it harder for students to focus on what's in front of them.
A previous study from some of the same researchers, making use of brain mapping technology and virtual reality, had found a relationship between cognitive ability and the perceived size of a person's surroundings. Here, the team wanted to do some realworld testing.
“We were curious to apply our lab findings to a realworld dataset and see if being in a large space while having to concentrate on an important task would result in a poorer performance，” says Isabella Bower.
The study analyzed exam results from 15，400 students over eight years and across three campuses, referencing their scores against what was expected based on the coursework they'd previously submitted.
In exam rooms with high ceilings, students tended to underperform compared to those taking exams in rooms with a “standard” ceiling height, even after accounting for age, gender, time, subject and prior exam experience—other factors potentially affecting the results.
“The key point is that large rooms with high ceilings seem to disadvantage students and we need to understand what brain mechanisms(機制) are at play, and whether this affects all students to the same degree，” says Bower.
Those are questions that future research can find out. It's clear that environment matters—and that we might not give students the best chance for success by holding exams in rooms that aren't custombuilt for the purpose.
“Examinations have been a key part of our education system for over 1，300 years, shaping students' career paths and lives，” says Jaclyn Broadbent. “It's crucial to recognize the potential impact of the physical environment on student performance and make necessary adjustments to ensure all students have an equal opportunity to succeed.”
(　　)32. How is the new study different from the previous one
A. It finds a link between environment and student performance.
B. It rules out potential factors that may influence the results.
C. It makes use of brain mapping technology and virtual reality.
D. It is conducted in a realworld situation instead of in labs.
(　　)33. What is future research expected to find out
A. Whether exam rooms with high ceilings will disadvantage students.
B. Whether other factors could potentially affect the results of the study.
C. Whether students are equally affected in exam rooms with high ceilings.
D. Whether brain mechanisms affect students in exam rooms with high ceilings.
(　　)34. What's Jaclyn Broadbent's attitude to holding exams in highceilinged rooms
A. Supportive. B.. Opposing. C. Objective D. Unclear.
(　　)35. In which column of a magazine can we probably find this text
A. Health. B.. Celebrity. C. Science D. Architecture.

Research has shown that loneliness is a major threat to longevity(長壽). People who are lonely or socially isolated(孤立的) have a higher risk of damaged immune function and depression. On the other side, healthy friendships can help us cope with stress and live happier, longer lives.
__36__ A Harvard study found that when a person gets happy, their friends living within one mile have a 25% higher chance of feeling happier too.
Here are tips from relationship experts for making and deepening friendships.
Be active
__37__ And if they do, they might not be sustainable. A study found that the belief that friendships were based on external or uncontrollable factors—luck, basically—predicted greater loneliness five years later.
Be optimistic
Researchers found that receivers of an unexpected communication, such as a short note or a small gift, appreciated the gesture a lot more than the sender thought they would. __38__ But not just in the obvious way. We often underestimate how much people like us. If we assume we're going to be liked, we become more likable—warmer, friendlier and more open.
Make a list
Write down the names of several people you know but would like to be closer to. Then reach out to each of them: Send a text message or an invitation to meet for a coffee. __39__
Practice
__40__ Social skills are like muscles—we can work them. In a 2022 study, participants were required to talk to strangers every day for a week. By the end, people were less worried about being rejected and more confident they could keep the conversation going.
A. Friendships don't just happen.
B. Plus, happiness spreads easily.
C. Friends can't come to you in all the ways you need.
D. See if this small gesture might contribute to a deeper connection.
E. In contemporary society, many of us forget how to socialize.
F. Not surprisingly, a positive attitude can help us make friends.
G. Repeated activities come with a builtin gettoknowyou schedule.

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。
Meles Mauro fled from his village near Addis Ababa to the Nigeria capital because he had nowhere else to go. He was five years old and both his parents were dead. He’d headed to his aunt’s, but she had seven children and couldn’t take him in permanently. Soon Mauro was participating in the street economy, along with roughly 10,000 other orphaned kids in Addis. To survive, he shined shoes, sold peanuts and begged.
Then, when he was about nine, Mauro met Kelsey Golden. A year earlier, in 1996, Golden had flown from Germany to her hometown of Addis to visit her mother for the first time in well over a decade. Accompanying Golden were her husband, Scott Smillie (a social worker), and their two children. The family had come with the intention of helping street-involved children, but without a set target.
When they were walking on the street of Addis, their children found something confusing. “Why aren’t they wearing any shoes ” “Why do they just sit there aimlessly on the street without going to school ” Golden was constantly asked about the kids in the street, bringing her back into the memories of her childhood. Golden had left Nigeria in 1981 on a scholarship to Germany, where she finished her bachelor of science degree at the University of Alberta, began teaching, met Smillie and started a family.
Deep in her heart was the words by her father, a general who had passed away. Her father’s final wish was for his children to someday return to help their country and get orphaned street-involved children to class.
“Mom, do you see that boy, who seemingly looks hungry and wants my hamburger ”
Golden’s mind was drawn back to the present. Following the direction of her son’s finger, she noticed a boy, barefoot, in rags, sitting on the ground, eyes fixed on the hamburger.
Instantly she walked over to the boy, bent down and asked gently, “what’s your name ”
“Mauro, Meles Mauro.” the boy answered, eyes still on the burger.
“Would you like to have a lunch with us together
“Can I ” Mauro’s eyes fell on Golden, wide open in disbelief.
With the firm nodding from the woman, the boy’s face cracked a radiant smile and had the most delicious meal ever in his life.
注意： 1.續寫詞數應為150 左右；
2.請按如下格式在答題卡得相應位置做答。
With the help of the couple, Mauro enjoyed a wonderful life.

Aged 29, Mauro had a job as a professor in a college and he still stayed in touch with Golden.

第一節 Possible Version
Last Wednesday marked a significant milestone as our school library announced the opening of its new Foreign Book Corner.
The opening ceremony began with a warm welcome from our principal, who emphasized the importance of embracing diverse perspectives through literature. Following the opening remarks, a ribbon-cutting ceremony officially unveiled the Foreign Book corner, symbolizing a gateway to new worlds of knowledge. Then came the highlight: a book-giving activity, in which some student representatives were presented with some English Classics by the chief librarian, igniting students’ enthusiasm for reading more books.
The opening ceremony was a vibrant display of cultural exchange and it is sure to foster a deeper appreciation of global literature among students.
第二節Possible Version:
With the help of the couple, Mauro enjoyed a wonderful life. He had a pair of shoes to wear, a roof to live under and food to eat. What was more important, one day when he was asked if he was willing to go to school, his eyes were wide open. It was unbelievable that he should be offered the chance to have education, which was a dream most fantastic to him. The longer he stayed with the couple, the more he realized the kindness they conveyed to those in need. Amazingly, with their joint efforts, changes began to happen to those in poverty. Apart from necessary supplies and food, many received proper education, some even graduating with PHD.
Aged 29, Mauro had a job as a professor in a college and he still stayed in touch with Golden. “Some young people are addicted to drugs or they become pickpockets,” he says. “If you have school, that’s a good advantage to keep yourself from everything.” recalled Mauro, “But for her support, I could have been wandering on the street. For me, she’s like my mother.” Pleased to see the boy rising out of nowhere and making such great achievements, Golden was more determined to contribute more. “We’ve seen, based on those original kids, that education is the way out of poverty.” Golden had an even deeper connect ion to their work. Seeing Ethiopian orphans thrive, she felt she had done right by her dad. “That’s the dream of my father I’m seeing-right there in my face.”
