When Alex Lin was 11 years old, he read an alarming article in the newspaper about electronic trash, known as e-waste. The article said that people were burying old computers in backyards, throwing TVs into streams, and casting cell phones in the garbage. This was dangerous, because e-waste contains poisonous chemicals, which can leak into the environment, getting into crops, animals, water supplies — and people.
Alex showed the article to his friends. They spent several weeks gathering information about the chemicals in e-waste and their effects on humans. They researched how to handle e-waste properly and how it could be recycled. Then, they advertised in the local newspaper, asked residents to bring their unwanted electronics to a permanent e-waste drop-off center they set up for the town and found a responsible company to recycle the waste.
After setting up the center, Alex’s team began to think about how to reuse some of the old computers. “If we could restore computers ourselves and distribute them to students who didn’t have their own, we could help students in our area and protect the environment at the same time,” Alex says. He persuaded his school to start teaching students how to restore donated computers. Alex is especially proud of this part of his project. He was even thanked on video by the mother of one of the students who got a free computer.
Since e-waste is a global problem, Alex and his friends are spreading their project internationally. In 2007, they shipped a fully restored media center to a school in Mexico City. During spring break, they visited the school and helped educate the students about e-waste. They have also shipped two restored media centers to Africa — one to an Internet café in Cameroon and one to a cultural center in Nigeria.
Because of the work of people like Alex and his team, more and more people are getting the message about safely handling e-waste. As Alex says, “Today’s technology should not become tomorrow’s harmful trash.”
What phenomenon did the author point out in paragraph 1?
A. Electronic trash broke down slowly. B. Readers threw away newspapers.
C. People handled e-waste improperly. D. Poisonous chemicals were everywhere.
Which was the team’s first step to solve the problem of e-waste?
A. Learn about e-waste. B. Talk to local residents.
C. Advertise their needs. D. Found a drop-off center.
A
Why does the author mention Africa?
A. To compare the team’s projects. B. To show the team’s global effort.
C. To assess the team’s future plans. D. To praise the team’s contribution.
B
What has happened because of Alex’s work?
A. More teams study technology. B. More electronics are produced.
C. People become more eco-minded. D. Trash turns harmful underground.

You have probably had the experience of waking up in the middle of the night with an idea. It was such a good one that you told yourself to remember it the next morning. But, like the memory of your dreams, it fades fast away. One practical step you can take now is to keep a pencil or pad by your bed. Sometimes, you can also carry a pocket notebook so that ideas that strike you while waiting for someone or travelling on a train can be recorded. Later, you can transfer these jottings to your main notebook.
Apart from extending memory, the practice of keeping a notebook of those materials has one fairly obvious further benefit. The labor of copying them out gives you occasion to reflect deeply on them. As you slowly write, you have to pay attention to both the exact form and the content of what is being said. The act of writing impresses the words more deeply on your mind.
There are two important principles in keeping a notebook as a tool for creative thinking. First, write down ideas in the order they come to you. Give each idea a short title and, if possible, add the date. Do not try to organize everything too carefully, such as putting notes on cards or arranging them in alphabetical order. The second principle is to note down whatever impresses you as stimulating, interesting or memorable. At this stage, it does not matter whether the idea is right or wrong. What matters most is that it interests you. As Shakespeare once said, “No profit grows where no pleasure is taken.”
In this form, your notebook is a very useful tool for creative thinking on a variety of subjects that concern you, for this method brings together very diverse materials. When you look through your notebook, you will begin to notice various groups of links and connections. It is the mixing of these unrelated ideas — bringing together things that usually do not go together — that makes your notebook a source of new ideas.
What does the underlined word “jottings” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Short written notes. B. Careful long records.
C. Personal daily diaries. D. Printed study materi
A
What is a benefit of keeping a notebook?
A. It encourages labor. B. It shifts attention.
C. It weakens memory. D. It facilitates thinking.
D
What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning Shakespeare’s words in paragraph 3?
A. The importance of interest. B. The pleasure of profit.
C. The arrangement of entries. D. The impression of ideas.
A
How does the notebook help generate new thoughts?
A. By recording one type of subjects. B. By deleting disordered connections.
C. By organizing notes alphabetically. D. By linking unrelated ideas together.

A confusing conflict is unfolding in companies embracing various AI-related tools. The number of companies with fully AI-led processes has nearly doubled since 2023. Yet a recent study found that 95% of organizations see no measurable return on their investment in these technologies.
A research team at BetterUp Labs has identified one possible reason: employees are using AI tools to create low-effort, passable looking work that ends up creating more work for their coworkers, a phenomenon referred to as “workslop” — AI-generated work content that looks like good work, but lacks the quality to meaningfully advance a given task.
Using machines to help with thinking is not new. We throw hard mental work to technologies like Google because it’s easier to search for something online than to remember it. However, workslop shifts the burden of the work downstream, requiring the receiver to interpret, correct, or redo the work. In other words, it transfers the effort from the creator to the receiver.
Employees reported spending an average of almost two hours dealing with each instance of workslop, which costs millions of dollars per year. There were also emotional costs. When asked how it feels to receive workslop, 53% employees report being annoyed, 38% confused, and 22% offended. The most alarming cost may be interpersonal. Workslop is having a significant impact on collaboration at work. About half of the employees think colleagues who send workslop are less creative, capable, and reliable, 42% viewed them as less trustworthy, and 37% less intelligent.
Generative AI is not appropriate for all tasks, nor can it read minds. Leaders will do best to model thoughtful AI use that has purpose and intention and set clear rules for their teams. Frame AI as a collaborative tool, not a shortcut. Employees should form a “pilot mindset”, using AI to accelerate (加速) specific outcomes with specific usage and uphold the same standards of excellence for work done by humans plus AI as by humans alone.
What does the confusing conflict refer to in paragraph 1?
A. An advance in generative AI tools.
B. An increase in fully AI-led processes.
C. A mismatch between funding and return in AI.
D. A trend of companies embracing AI technologies.
C
How does workslop affect employees?
A. It saves time and reduces costs. B. It improves collaboration at work.
C. It makes employees less intelligent. D. It creates extra work and emotional stress.
D
What is the author’s suggestion for team leaders?
A. Accelerate normal usage of AI. B. Guide their workers with specifics.
C. Favor work done by humans alone. D. Raise standards of excellence for work.
B
What is a suitable title for the text?
A. AI-related Tools Lose Their Appeal
B. AI-powered Machines Help with Thinking
C. AI-led Investment Sees Measurable Profits
D. AI-generated Workslop Ruins Productivity
D
We’ve all been there, sitting in the middle of a conversation that suddenly hits a dead end, leaving us desperately searching for something to say. 36 The key is to be prepared. It can be helpful to keep a few topic ideas up your sleeve, so you can revive the conversation if it starts to drag.
Introduce a new topic. If the current subject has run its course, switching to a new topic is recommended. 37 When their interest begins to flag, it’s better to switch to something new, even if we feel we have more to say on the topic.
38 Discovering shared interests or experiences can give us lots to talk about. Whether it’s a mutual hobby, a favorite TV show, or a recent event, we can ask the person their views and share our own thoughts. In this way, people can see each other’s perspectives, respect each other’s differences, and avoid arguments.
Use humor. A light-hearted joke or funny observation can break the ice and ease any tension. Laughing with someone is a great way to bond with them. 39 By starting your conversation with a funny question, you set a friendly tone for even the most serious subjects.
Pay a compliment. Giving sincere praise or acknowledging something interesting about the person can make them happy and set a positive tone for the conversation. 40 Or “Your company logo is really cool; tell me more about it”.
A. Offer a personal story.
B. Find common ground.
C. For example, “I love your shirt, where did you get it?”
D. It can help to pay closer attention to our partner’s interest.
E. The good news is that such a conversation can be rescued.
F. Introduce a quick and simple game like “Would You Rather?”

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。
It was Christmas again. From the living room window, I watched my younger brother Roy climb out of the driver’s seat. His arrival brought me joy but also that familiar feeling of guilt torturing me every Christmas.
The memory went back to the time when we were kids. Our parents had little money, and even at Christmas we expected little. Then one December, after my father’s work injury, an insurance settlement brought an unexpected fortune, which meant the most special Christmas with real presents for the first time in my nine-year-old life.
I knew exactly what I wanted: the cowgirl boots from every advertisement. Momma and Daddy put up our first real tree. Brightly wrapped gifts started to appear underneath it. But I only had eyes for a long box with my name on it, just the right size for boots. Every glimpse sent my heart racing. It was the Christmas I’d always dreamed of — until I ruined it.
Alone at home one afternoon, I secretly opened the box. Then my heart sank. Inside were no boots. In a desperate, unforgivable anger, I tore into other presents, one after another. Still no boots!
That evening, I heard my father yelled: “How could you?” Roy was being blamed. Sadly, he was too young and afraid to say anything for himself. I also stayed silent, too ashamed and afraid to tell even Roy the truth. Then Christmas came, and I couldn’t share my family’s excitement when we sat cross-legged around the tree. “No use pretending you haven’t seen what’s inside,” Daddy said when Roy tore into a gift. I’d ruined Christmas for myself and for Roy, too.
For decades, I carried the secret. I never shook a gift box before Christmas, and I feared opening presents with Roy nearby. But years later, that Christmas evening, over after-dinner coffee, I found myself alone with my brother. Now is your chance, I thought. Come clean.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150 个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Roy, I have something to tell you,” I said. ________________________________________

possible answer:
“Roy, I have something to tell you,” I said. His eyes met mine, and I saw his concern. “Do you remember that Christmas we got presents because of Dad’s insurance settlement?” Roy frowned as if he had to think hard to remember. “Oh, sure. I haven’t thought about that for ages.” I took a deep breath and let it all out. “I have a confession. I was the one who opened the gifts. I let you take the blame. I’m so sorry. I was afraid of how mad you’d be if I admitted the truth, and as time went on, it only got harder. Can you ever forgive me?” I held my breath, waiting for his reaction.
Understandingly, Roy looked at me with a big smile on his face. “We have to admit that fear makes cowards of us all,” he said with a smile, “so it is no big deal but a childhood experience.” He leaned over and hugged me. “I forgive you. You shouldn’t have carried that all these years.” His words echoed in my mind, and the heaviness lifted from my shoulders. I thought the Christmas of the insurance settlement had the potential for being the most special Christmas ever, and truly it was, but in a different way.
