No one had called me Melissa in months.Hearing my name was something I took for
granted before I was out of work.But now I wasn't spending time with the people who know
me as Melissa:my co-workers,fellow writers,and friends.
I had been at home with my two children for months.Evan,age nine,and Delaney,six,call
me Mom or Mama.And I realize that I am fortunate to have wonderful little people in my life
who call me Mama—even at 2:00 a.m.when one of them is sick.
Something happened when I stopped hearing my name,though.It became a whole other
type of isolation.Before I became Mrs.Face or Mama,I was Melissa.
I never really had a problem with my name.I never considered a name change.Even as an
adult, I have never thought a different name would suit me better.I am Melissa,and my name
is a big part of my identity.
After a few months at home,I decided to do something just for me.I signed up for a
writing class that I'd wanted to take for a long time.Before I became a housewife,I couldn't get
to the class because of childcare concerns.But now I was so excited to be enrolled in the
class.At our first session,the instructor began class by addressing us all by name and
introducing our first prompt.
“I want you to start by writing‘Right now,I am,'and then continue with whatever follows
that.” she said.
I started writing my piece.Ten minutes later,she asked us to begin sharing.“Melissa,we'll
start with you,”my teacher said.
I cleared my throat and read my first line.“Right now,I am happy,I said.“I'm happy to
be interacting with other adults,happy to be writing,and especially happy to hear my name.
24.What can we infer about the author?
A.She is a caring person.
B.She is skilled in writing.
C.She values her own identity.
D.She enjoys interacting now.
25.What can we learn about the author's mood after signing up for the class from the text?
A.Distracted.
B.Depressed.
C.Determined.
D.Delighted.
26.What does the underlined word“prompt”in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.Address.
B.Task.
C.Advice.
D.Friend.
27.What is the text?
A.A news report.
B.A book review.
C.A personal essay.
D.A science fiction.
C
Can you imagine getting a tooth pulled out or other major dental procedures without
pain-killer?A scientist colleague of mine used a“focus in”technique instead of requesting
pain-killer at the dentist.Each time the dentist touched the tooth,my colleague felt bubbles of
joy,and this lasted until the dentist interrupted by asking,“Why are you smiling?”
A fair question at this point is why anyone would want to be fully aware of intense or
painful procedures.But what may sound like a punishing choice—to directly face hurt or
suffering—may in some instances be beneficial.A stream of scientific articles suggests that
there are benefits in turning toward discomfort or negative emotions with acceptance.In
addition,all of us can gain from finding ways to cope with stress and suffering—particularly
when larger circumstances are beyond our control.As a researcher who has studied
meditation(冥想)for more than 20 years,I believe that the development of calmness,a central
element of certain mindfulness meditation practices,can help.I'm not advocating for people to
put themselves in dangerous or painful positions.But when we push ourselves into
challenging or confusing situations,much like trainers who push athletes just past their
comfort zone to make gains,learning often happens.Indeed,a 2022 study with more than 2,000
people demonstrated that those participants who were publicly encouraged to push themselves
into awkward,uncomfortable situations—including taking classes to boost self-confidence and
reading about opposing viewpoints—later reported the greatest degree of personal growth.
My own research indicates that meditation provides an ideal way to practice turning
toward discomfort-particularly when it trains up one's calm mind.People who reported higher
levels of calmness reported less psychological distress(困扰).
Right now people are hurting for many reasons and looking for ways to cope.Without
question,there are many important steps we need to take collectively to respond to these
challenges.But we can each build our ability to recover on a personal level as well by
cultivating greater acceptance of our experience—good or bad,painful or pleasant—in the
present moment.
28.The author uses the first question in Paragraph 1 to________.
A.introduce the topic.
B.illustrate an argument.
C.highlight an opinion.
D.promote a pain-killer.
29.What is the benefit of turning towards discomfort and negative emotions?
A.It helps in avoiding suffering fully.
B.It increases psychological distress.
C.It leads to personal growth.
D.It promotes a sense of calmness.
30.What is the author's view on putting oneself in dangerous or painful positions?
A.The author encourages it as a way to improve fitness.
B.The author discourages it due to its potential harm.
C.The author believes it is necessary for personal growth.
D.The author recommends it to those confused trainers.
31.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Turning Towards Discomfort:My Experience of Staying Stressful and Successful
B.Expanding Comfort Zones:The Difference Between Discomfort and Calmness
C.Mindfulness and Meditation:The Tools for Dealing with Stress and Suffering
D.Cultivating Calmness:The Benefits of Mindfulness in Enjoying Dental Operation

If you've seen the film Finding Nemo,you might remember the character Dory and her
attempts to speak“whale”.Now a team of scientists say they could be one step closer to doing
that.They used computer technology to analyze whale sounds and think they have translated
their first whale word.
Sperm whales don't speak a“language”in the same way as humans do,but they
communicate by using a series of clicks.Scientists from Project CETI,an organization
dedicated to translating sperm whale language,have spent years listening to the creatures.They
have placed microphones on whales and planted underwater microphones off the coast of the
Caribbean island of Dominica to overhear the animals' conversations.
Now the team is using artificial intelligence(AI,computer technology that allows a
machine to imitate human intelligence by learning as it goes along)to find patterns in the
whales' sounds.The scientists have been trying to match the sound patterns with the whales'
behavior to see if certain“words”match certain actions.This could reveal the meaning of each
individual sound or set of sounds.
So far,the scientists think they understand the signal for“dive”.They have also mapped
out a kind of sperm whale phonetic alphabet(phonetic means turning sounds into symbols).
However,like Dory,they have a long way to go before they can truly speakwhale.Unlocking
the language of sperm whales could help to protect them.Whales are an important part of
marine(海洋)ecosystems all over the world.Their bodies also store large amounts of carbon,
which helps to reduce pollution in the atmosphere.If humans spoke“whale”,it could be
possible to warn them away from dangerous objects and areas,such as fishing nets they can
become tangled in or shallow shorelines where they can get stranded.
32.How do sperm whales interact with each other?
A.By making sounds.
B.By using microphones.
C.By tail movements.
D.By eye contact.
33.What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A.Giving an example to show that whales don't speak a language.
B.Presenting new evidence on the interaction methods of whales.
C.Introducing a scientific way to locate the position of the whales.
D.Employing a novel approach to interpret the whale's language.
34.What could be a possible benefit of speaking“whale”?
A.To imitate the sounds made by whales.
B.To understand the behavior of fishers.
C.To tell whales about potential danger.
D.To reduce pollution in the atmosphere.
35.What is the author's attitude towards the project?
A.Unclear.
B.Hopeful.
C.Doubtful.
D.Indifferent.

多余选项。
Do you have bad habits?If so,you're not alone.__36__.So,if you are trying to get out of
things that make you ashamed,the following may be of help to you.
__37__
Both good habits and bad habits are similar because you can end up doing them without
thinking about it.Stepping back and seeing a bad habit's pattern in your life can help you
break free of it.For instance,if you smoke a cigarette after dinner every evening,you can break
the pattern and instead take a walk every evening after dinner.This breaks your bad habit
pattern,and you can establish a new habit pattern that will still give you a sense of a reward
like feeling healthier—without harm.
Establish new targets
It's easy to get stuck in bad habit patterns.If you smoke after dinner and want to stop
that,you begin to walk,which helps break the habit.But once you've broken the pattern,you
can take it to the next level.__38__.Walking two blocks instead of one or run around the
block can be your choice.Suddenly,you not only broke the habit pattern,but you've also
established new goals to motivate you.
Keep a diary
Writing down your daily struggles with a bad habit can help you break the habit.Keep
track of what triggers the bad habit or when you're tempted to do the bad habit.This will help
you understand yourself better and give you the ability to stop the bad habit. __39__.Write
down your temptations,and your feelings as you did to resist the habit.
Get help from friends or family
A good supportive community is essential for overcoming bad habits.Having people
around you who understand you and know how to help you will give you hope.Gather a close
set of friends or family around you.They may be able to stand with you,support you,and
challenge you.__40__
A.Set goals to do more
B.Break the habit pattern
C.Think about similar habits
D.Take your notebook with you
E.Most of us are guilty of something we dislike
F.So be kind and considerate to your family or friends
G.When you fall,these people can encourage you to try again
