Manager Jan Millward has a background in facilitating activities for older people and also in farming. She describes the service: “Many people who are here have worked the land all their lives and need to get outside. When men come here, they feel they have a purpose. The Countrymen's Club cares for them and supports their families. Their wives take breaks for two to three hours a week and precious time to speak to other ladies.
“While the men are here, they can engage in woodworking, assist with animal care, or cultivate vegetables. Some simply desire a friendly conversation. We've even set up a polytunnel (塑料大棚) for them to pick flowers for their wives.”
Located in Ryland's Farm, a humble house filled with tools and craft projects stands as the heart of the Countrymen's Club. Here, the men gather with support workers to reflect on their day, perhaps sing a song and enjoy the tea and cake to their hearts' content.
Ryland's Farm becomes lively with activity as people tend to the animals. Some walk down the path, actively participating in planting. Jan explains: “When someone is referred to us, we invite them for a session. For instance, we once had a gentleman who was struggling with emotional despair. Building back his self-confidence and belief in himself was a gradual journey. We all need a sense of purpose in life, one that goes beyond the loneliness of being alone.”
Amid the background of Ryland's farm, Glenn Hamblin trims (修剪) the garden's bushes and shares his experience: “I had heart problems and needed quadruple bypass surgery（四重搭桥手术) . I have been in agriculture all my life. It's made a world of difference to me. It's not the place but the people who make it special.”
Acknowledging the crucial roles that farming and rural communities play in ensuring food security, environmental preservation, and local job opportunities is inspiring. It's equally encouraging to witness innovative solutions emerging to address the unique needs of these rural populations.
24. Why do people come to the Club according to Jan
A. To work the land for living. B. To care for and support their families.
C. To seek a sense of purpose of life. D. To set up a polytunnel for wives.

A. A chance to socialize with others. B. A skill to make tools and crafts.

A. He is able to cure serious heart problems. B. He benefits from the Countrymen's Club.
C. He has made a different world for people. D. He thinks that the place makes him unique.
27. Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage

B. Ryland's Farm: A Place of Healing and Purpose
C. Jan Millward's Vision for Rural Communities

C
Dr. Francis Collins, a renowned American scientist with both an MD and a PhD, holds an outstanding place in the scientific community. His groundbreaking work in mapping the entire human genome (基因) represents a monumental achievement in the history of science. In a recent interview, Dr. Henry inquired about the origin of Collins's dedication to a life in science. Collins owed his contribution back to a remarkable high school science lesson.
In this particular class, students were presented with sealed boxes containing unknown contents. The assignment was to determine what was inside the boxes without opening them, a task that required creativity, curiosity, and problem-solving skills. Collins explained that this assignment captured his imagination and sparked his desire to explore the unknown.
This lesson, Collins explained, was a powerful example of “education from the inside out.”
It stimulated a sense of internal curiosity and the urge to seek answers. In contrast, traditional education often follows a “from the outside in” approach, where teachers serve as authorities with the answers, and students are expected to learn and absorb the information. This traditional model can sometimes stifle curiosity and prevent students from developing a deep emotional connection with the subject matter.
Collins's experience highlights the importance of stimulating a curious mindset in education. When students are encouraged to explore and question, they are more likely to engage with the material, develop a deeper understanding, and memorize the information longer. This “education from the inside out” approach not only benefits students academically but also helps them develop the critical thinking and problem-solving skills necessary for success in life.
In conclusion, Dr. Francis Collins's dedication to science was lit by a high school science lesson that contained the principles of “education from the inside out.” This approach to learning, which promotes curiosity and problem-solving, is crucial for stimulating a deep understanding of subject matter and developing the skills necessary for success. Collins's story serves as a reminder that we can all be inspired to go after our passions and make meaningful contributions to the world through the power of education.
28. What is the function of Paragraph 1
A. To state the human genome. B. To present the interview.
C. To lead to the topic of the passage. D. To show the achievement of Dr. Collins.
29. Why did the remarkable science lesson inspire Collins
A. It had several sealed boxes. B. It stimulated him to determine and create.
C. It had unsolved assignments. D. It stimulated him to imagine and explore.
30. What does the underlined word “stifle” mean
A. kill B. change C. excite D. protect
31. What can we learn from Collins' story
A. Teachers serve as authorities in classes. B. Curiosity education makes a difference.
C. Subject matter and skills really count. D. Passion always takes priority for success.
D
Economist Tyler Cowen argues that traditional interview methods are not effective in determining the best candidates for a job, especially in creative roles. Candidates who are well-prepared often pass these interviews, but this only tests their preparation and not their abilities.
To determine the best candidate, Cowen suggests that interviewers concentrate on authenticity (真实性) and spontaneity (自发性) in their interactions with candidates, rather than relying on pre-written questions.
The interviewer should be trustworthy, Cowen argues, as it helps them better evaluate the authenticity of candidates. Eventually, “better allocation (分配) of talent” contributes to economic growth, and more thoughtful interview methods can help identify more talented individuals and elevate (提升) them to greater opportunities.
Cowen adds, “There are too many interview questions, and every interviewer is ready. For example, ‘What mistakes did you make in your previous job ’ But many candidates just didn't prepare well and didn't provide a good answer. So in most cases, for better candidates, you are actually just preparing for testing. But for more creative jobs, you will lose candidates with other qualities.”
“How to get people into what I call the “Real Mode” largely depends on who they are, as well as who you are. If I am interviewing a candidate, my favorite discussions are just those without scripts. I prefer to have these conversations without asking questions. I hope they are natural. I like spontaneity—how to achieve it depends on the environment, work, how much time you have, and many other factors.”
“An estimate suggests that since the 1960s, 20% to 40% of US economic growth has come from “better talent allocation”. If we had a fresher and more creative interview process, I do think people would be more thoughtful. They will think more deeply about the work they will be engaged in. I think we will find talents that we haven't seen so far. We will enable more people to have greater opportunities.”
32. How do the interviewers determine the best candidates
A. By judging if they are well-prepared. B. By asking pre-written questions.
C. By focusing on their real performances. D. By testing their work efficiency.
33. What does Cowen think of thoughtful interview methods
A. Useless. B. Crucial. C. Inspiring. D. Changeable.
34. What does the author mean by mentioning “better allocation of talent”
A. Stressing the importance of authenticity in interviews.
B. Explaining the role of interviews in evaluating candidates.
C. Rethinking interview approaches for better talent allocation.
D. Avoiding the impact of talent allocation to economic growth.
35. Who does the author probably intend to write to
A. An interviewer. B. An interviewee.
C. A graduate student. D. A career trainer.

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。
There was a small village in the heart of a big jungle. Surrounded by the magnificent mountains and in the shade of green trees, the villagers were used to their robotic daily tasks. None of them had the imagination or the will to try something new, except for one girl named Hannah.
Hannah was one of the few people in the village who could read and write. She was an adventurous spirit with an imagination far beyond her time. She loved to explore and would spend hours in the woods looking for new things.
One afternoon, while exploring, she came upon an abandoned cottage. Even though Hannah's mother had strictly warned her not to go wandering in abandoned places, her curiosity got the best of her. She tip-toed slowly to the door and slowly opened it and she was left astonished. In front of Hannah was a room full of books! The books were covered in dust, but they sparkled in the sunlight, just waiting to be explored. Hannah's excitement was visible on her face as she jumped up and down with joy!
It was breathtaking for Hannah as she realized that she had found a hidden treasure. She knew in her heart that she desired to read all of them so she quickly got to work. She dusted the books, the shelves, and what was left of the furniture. Hannah broomed, swept, and dusted all day long until she realized that it was dark and she had to go back to her home. But she couldn't leave without reading at least one book, so Hannah picked two books and decided to read them at her home.
She met her friends on the way home who were fascinated by what Hannah was carrying.
In her excitement, Hannah shared everything with her friends. She was thinking that her friends will share her excitement but instead, she just heard a roar of laughters! Hannah was confused by this reaction first, but then she realized that they really need the help from books for change.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
So she did not give up on the books in the cottage. _______________________________________________

Good afternoon, dear judges! My name is Li Hua, and I'm submitting my design for the English Club logo. It's a simple but meaningful design. It's shaped like a book, which represents learning and knowledge. The colors are blue and white, which look nice together and symbolize trust and clarity.
I chose these elements because I want the logo to show that our club is about learning and understanding different cultures. The book-shaped design also reminds us of the importance of reading and writing in English.
I really hope you like my design and choose it as the official logo for our English Club.
Thank you!

One possible version:
So she did not give up on the books in the cottage. She went home and all night long, she read the adventurous tales hidden in the book cover. The next day, she rushed to the cottage again, where she read more books. While immersed in the charm of reading, it seemed as if Hannah opened the doors to a much bigger outside world-literature, art, science, history. . . Books offered her endless inspiration and Hannah determined to share the power of reading with the people of her village.
She knew it would be a difficult journey, but she wanted to share the “gold” with everyone. Making this her task, Hannah started telling tales every day at her cottage, but only her best friends and family came to the readings. So, Hannah invited the few people who could read and write to join them together. Before long, the word of their famous tales spread through the village, appealing to more and more people to attend the readings. Gradually, Hannah successfully aroused people's interest in reading and the old cottage became a paradise for reading.
