I was the only kid in college with a reason to go to the mail box, because my mother never
believed in email, in Facebook, in texting or cell phones. I was literally waiting by the mailbox to get
a letter with a warmest comfort from her.
So when I moved to New York and got depressed, I did the only thing I could think of. I wrote
those same kinds of letters like my mother for strangers, and tucked them all over the city: in cafes,
in libraries, and even in the subway. I blogged about those letters and promised if asked for a hand-
written letter, I would write one.
Overnight, my inbox became this harbor of heartbreak — a single mother in Sacramento, a girl
being bullied in Kansas, a 22-year-old immigrant, all asking me to write them and give them a reason
to wait by the mailbox. And this is how I initiated the act The World Needs More Love Letters.
Today I run a global organization fueled by those trips to the mailbox. It is a miracle. But the
thing about these letters is that most of them have been written by people brought up in a paperless
world where some best conversations happen on a screen. We have learned to diary our pain onto
Facebook, and we speak swiftly in twitter.
Therefore, I've been carrying this mail crate （大木箱） with me these days, which is a magical
icebreaker. So I get to tell total strangers about a woman whose husband was traumatized （受精神
创伤） from war, and how she left love letters throughout the house saying, Come back to me. And
a man, who had decided to take his life, slept safely with a stack of letters just beneath his pillow,
handwritten by strangers who were there for him.
These stories convince me that letter-writing will never need to be about efficiency, because it
is an art now, all of it: the signing, the scripting, the mailing.
24. Why did the author share her experience in college?
A. To show her care for her family. B. To convey her love for writing letters.
C. To express her feelings attached to letters. D. To prove her consistency in writing letters.
25. What caused the author to launch the act?
A. She advocated the paperless lifestyle.
B. She intended to provide professional aid.
C. She tried to improve her communication skills.
D. She aimed to give emotional support with letters.
26. Why does the author call the mail crate a magical icebreaker?
A. It cures people of mental diseases. B. It serves as a conversation starter.
C. It has magic power to melt ice. D. It empowers people to be brave.
27. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Family Letters Are Priceless B. Love for Writing Never Declines
C. World Needs More Love Letters D. Hand-written Letters Improve Efficiency
C
Nanako Hama was holding a light envelop. When she tore it open with care, locks of hair
emerged. Many strangers send Hama locks of their hair, hoping to recycle it.
People generate a huge amount of hair waste. Nearly all of that waste ends up in landfill, where
it can release harmful greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change. But hair possesses useful
qualities that it's a shame to simply throw it away. That's why people all around the world, like Hama,
have been collecting hair and finding innovative ways to recycle it, including making mats （垫子
） out of it for removing oil leaks in the ocean.
Hama is part of the nonprofit Matter of Trust （MoT） members working at more than 60
centers dotted across 17 countries, using machines to make hair donated from local salons and
individuals into square mat, which are then used to clean up the floating oil. Hair is particularly well-
suited for this, says MoT co-founder Lisa Gautier. That's because its rough sort of outer layer lets
oil stick to it. MoT's mats have been used in major oil leaks, including the 2010 Deepwater Horizon
and 2007 Cosco Busan incidents.
In a 2018 study, Murray, an environmental scientist at the University of Technology Sydney, in
Australia found that mats made of recycled human hair could absorb 0. 84 grams of oil onto its surface
for every gram of hair - significantly more than polypropylene （聚丙烯）， a type of plastic that's
typically used to clean up floating oil. Besides, hair is also useful as fertilizer （化肥）. Hair contains
a relatively high nitrogen （氮）， a chemical element crucial for plant growth, and each lock of
hair is made of roughly 16 percent of this essential nutrient. Last year, more than 560 gallons of liquid
fertilizer made from human hair was sold to farmers in northern Tanzania and the feedback from the
farmers has been very encouraging.
It's just a great way to use hair in a productive way. Hair is an answer literally hanging in front
of our eyes-for oil and soil, Hama says.
28. How does the author introduce the topic?
A. By presenting a scene. B. By detailing the background.
C. By describing the usage of hair. D. By praising an environmentalist.
29. What can the mat made of human hair do?
A. Improve soil. B. Prevent oil leaks.
C. Take in harmful gas. D. Clear the sea of oil.
30. Which qualities of hair contribute to its innovative use?
A. Its color and strength. B. Its length and amount.
C. Its weight and flexibility. D. Its structure and component.
31. Which best describes the future of hair waste as fertilizer?
A. Uncertain. B. Promising. C. Doubtful. D. Worrying.
D
German physicist Albert Einstein is one of the most famous scientists of all time, the
personification of genius and the subject of a whole industry of scholarship. In The Einsteinian
Revolution, two experts on Einstein's life and his theory of relativity -Israeli physicist Hanoch
Gutfreund and German historian of science Jurgen Renn - offer an original and penetrating （犀 利
的） analysis of Einstein's revolutionary contributions to physics and our view of the physical world.
For the first time ever, by setting Einstein's work in the long course of the evolution of scientific
knowledge, Gutfreund and Renn discover the popular misconception of Einstein as an unconventional
scientific genius who single-handedly created modern physics and by pure thought alone.
As a large part of the book explains, Einstein typically argued that science progresses through
steady evolution, not through revolutionary breaks with the past. He saw his theory of relativity not
as something from scratch, but a natural extension of the classical physics developed by pioneers
such as Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei and English physicist Isaac Newton in the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries, as well as nineteenth-century physicists.
The authors highlight how classical physics cannot be separated cleanly from modern
Einsteinian physics. The book also includes substantial sections on Polish astronomer Nicolaus
Copernicus and Galileo whose methods inspired Einstein. When Einstein considered himself as
standing on their shoulders, he meant that, without their contributions, he would not have formulated
（阐述） the theory of relativity.
The Einsteinian Revolution is an important and thought-provoking contribution to the scholarly
literature on Einstein and his surprising scientific creativity between 1905 and 1925. Gutfreund and
Renn might not have given the final answer as to why Einstein, of all people, revolutionized physics
in the way that he did. But they argue in fascinating detail that, to understand his genius, one must
take into account not just the earlier history of physics but also the history of knowledge more broadly.
Although not always an easy read, the book will interest physicists and historians alike.
32. What's the attitude of Gutfreund and Renn to the popular viewpoint on Einstein?
A. Opposing. B. Favorable. C. Ambiguous. D. Indifferent.
33. What does the underlined phrase from scratch probably mean?
A. From nothing. B. Up to a certain standard.
C. By learning from others. D. With previous knowledge.
34. What does the author mean to say by mentioning the famous physicists?
A. Their ideas were rejected by Einstein.
B. Their devotion to physics impressed Einstein.
C. Their research contributed to Einstein's success.
D. Their hard work deserved the worldwide respect.
35. Where is the text most probably taken from?
A. A guidebook to a course. B. An introduction to a book.
C. An essay on Albert Einstein. D. A review of physics development.

Problem solving skills are increasingly valuable in the workplace -- and could help you achieve
more in your personal life too. Here's how to enhance your strategy.
Develop analytical thinking
The key to effective problem-solving is the ability to break down complex issues into smaller,
more manageable components. 36 . This involves systematically deconstructing a problem,
understanding its differences and identifying the relationships between its various elements. Begin
by clearly defining the problem at hand, identifying its key components and recognizing the
interconnections between them.
Promote creativity
37 To develop creativity, you must engage in activities that can stimulate your imagination
and form new ideas. Additionally, exposing yourself to different fields, experiences and cultures can
serve as a source of creative problem-solving.
Strengthen communication skills
Clear and brief communication is the key to effective problem-solving, acting as the bridge that
connects diverse perspectives and adjusts individuals toward a common goal. Good communication
begins with the art of expression. This needs choosing the right words and structuring information
logically. Active listening, on the other hand, is the skill of receiving information with focus. 38 .
Learn from mistakes
Mistakes are not failures but a good way to success. 39 . Analyze what goes wrong, identify
areas for improvement and use this knowledge to inform your future problem-solving efforts. It not
only accelerates the learning process but also encourages collective problem-solving skills.
40
The journey to becoming an expert problem solver is an ongoing process of growth and
improvement. Seeking continuous learning opportunities ensures that you stay ahead of changing
challenges and acquire the necessary skills. Furthermore, networking with professionals in your field
provides a good way of shared learning.
A. Stay well informed
B. Seek continuous learning
C. Improving it requires a structured approach
D. Each mistake will give you a chance to think and learn
E. Out-of-the-box thinking is essential for problem-solving
F. These will make sure your message is easy to understand
G. It involves not just hearing words but understanding the differences

Okay! said Andy, and he ran back to his 52 .
I suddenly realized it was nice my son would take time out to 53 the wonder and beauty in
