You are required to select one word for each blank from

23、 a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use

24、 any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passage.In whats probably the craziest headline Ive ever written, Ive reported that 26 in livestock protection are happening with scientists painting eyes on the butts of cows. The experiment is based upon the

25、 idea that farmers whore protecting their herd from lions would shoot and kill lions in an effort to protect their livestock. While this makes a lot of sense, it results in many lion deaths that 27 would have been unnecessary. Researchers in Australia have been 28 and testing a method of trickery to

26、 make lions think they are being watched by the painted eyes on cow butts.This idea is based on the principle that lions and other 29 are far less likely to attack when they feel they are being watched. As conservation areas become smaller, lions are increasingly coming into contact with human popul

27、ations, which are expanding to the 30 of these protected areas.Efforts like painting eyes on cow butts may seem crazy at first, but they could make actual headway in the fight for conservation. “If the method works, it could provide farmers in Botswana-and 31 with a low-cost, sustainable tool to pro

28、tect their livestock, and a way to keep lions safe from being killed.”Lions are 32 ambush(埋伏)hunters, so when they feel their prey has 33 them, they usually give up on the hunt. Researchers are 34 testing their idea on a select herd of cattle. They have painted half of the cows with eyes and left th

29、e other half as normal. Through satellite tracking of both the herd and the lions in the area, they will be able to 35 if their psychological trickery will work to help keep farmers from shooting lions.A) advances I) otherwiseB) boundaries J) predatorsC) challenging K) primarilyD) currently L) retor

30、tedE) determine M) spottedF) devising N) testimoniesG) elsewhere O) wrestleH) neverthelessSection BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which th

31、e information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Resilience Is About How You Recharge, Not How You EndureA As constant travelers and parents of a 2-year-old, we some

32、times fantasize about how much work we can do when one of us gets on a plane, undistracted by phones, friends, or movies. We race to get all our ground work done: packing, going through security, doing a last-minute work call, calling each other, then boarding the plane. Then, when we try to have th

33、at amazing work session in flight, we get nothing done. Even worse, after refreshing our email or reading the same studies over and over, we are too exhausted when we land to soldier on with(继续处理) the emails that have inevitably still piled up.B why should flying deplete us? Were just sitting there

34、doing nothing. Why cant we be tougher, more resilient(有复原力的) and determined in our work so we can accomplish all of the goals we set for ourselves? Based on our current research, we have come to realize that the problem is not our hectic schedule or the plane travel itself; the problem comes from a

35、misconception of what it means to be resilient, and the resulting impact of overworking.C We often take a militaristic, “tough” approach to resilience and determination like a Marine pulling himself through the mud, a boxer going one more round, or a football player picking himself up off the ground

36、 for one more play. We believe that the longer we tough it out, the tougher we are, and therefore the more successful we will be. However, this entire conception is scientifically inaccurate.D The very lack of a recovery period is dramatically holding back our collective ability to be resilient and

37、successful. Research has found that there is a direct correlation between lack of recovery and increased incidence of health and safety problems. And lack of recovery whether by disrupting sleep with thoughts of work or having continuous cognitive arousal by watching our phones is costing our compan

38、ies $62 billion a year in lost productivity.E And just because work stops, it doesnt mean we are recovering. We “stop” work sometimes at 5pm, but then we spend the night wrestling with solutions to work problems, talking about our work over dinner, and falling asleep thinking about how much work wel

39、l do tomorrow. In a study just released, researchers from Norway found that 7.8% of Norwegians have become workaholics(工作狂). The scientists cite a definition “workaholism”as “being overly concerned about work, driven by an uncontrollable work motivation, and investing so much time and effort in work

40、 that it impairs other important life areas.”F We believe that the number of people who fit that definition includes the majoriy of American workers, which prompted us to begin a study of workaholism in the U.S. Our study will use a large corporate dataset from a major medical company to examine how

41、 technology extends our working hours and thus interferes with necessary cognitive recovery, resulting in huge health care costs and turnover costs for employers.G The misconception of resilience is often bred from an early age. Parents trying to teach their children resilience might celebrate a hig

42、h school student staying up until 3am to finish a science fair project. What a distortion of resilience! A resilient child is a well-rested one. When an exhausted student goes to school, he risks hurting everyone on the road with his impaired driving; he doesnt have the cognitive resources to do wel

43、l on his English test; he has lower self-control with his friends; and at home, he is moody with his parents. Overwork and exhaustion are the opposite of resilience and the bad habits we acquire when were young only magnify when we hit the workforce.H As Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz have written, if

44、you have too much time in the performance zone, you need more time in the recovery zone, otherwise you risk burnout. Gathering your resources to “try hard” requires burning energy in order to overcome your currently low arousal level. It also worsens exhaustion. Thus the more imbalanced we become du

45、e to overworking, the more value there is in activities the allow us to return to a state of balance. The value of a recovery period rises in proportion to the amount of work required of us.I So how do we recover and build resilience? Most people assume that if you stop doing a task like answering e

46、mails or writhing a paper, your brain will naturally recover, so that when you start again later in the day or the next morning, youll have your energy back. But surely everyone reading this has had times when you lie in bed for hours, unable to fall asleep because your brains is thinking about work

47、. If you lie in bed for eight hours, you may have rested, but you can still feel exhausted the next day. Thats because rest and recovery are not the same thing.J If youre trying to build resilience at work, you need adequate internal and external recovery periods. As researchers Zijlstra, Cropley and Rydstedt write in their 2014 paper: “Internal recovery refers to the shorter periods of relaxation that take place within the frames of the work day or the work setting in the form of short scheduled or unscheduled breaks, by shifting attention or changing to other work tasks w
