As 2019 draws to a close, it can be helpful to think about finishing what you have started.
With that in mind, here are some thoughts on finishing projects and seasons well.
Finishing projects
One step to finishing a project comes near the beginning:define what it means for the
project to be finished. This could mean getting an article published, submitting a report to your
boss or teacher, or creating designs for a product. 67
In order to finish projects, you must also plan out the steps you will take. Break your big task
into smaller ones, and give yourself a short-term deadline for eachof them. 68 .
Then when you do finish - celebrate! Take some time to enjoy your accomplishment and
reward yourself for all your hard work. Also take some time to consider how the project went
what you did well, and what needs improvement. 69 .
Finishing the year
As we come to the end of 2019, it’s good to take some time to pause and reflect on the past
year. What goals did you reach or what have you learned? What would you like to do differently
next year?
While you’re thinking, consider things you’re thankful for from the year. You could make a
list of 12, one for each month, or 52, one for each week. Or just write down as many things as you
can think of. This will help you end the year with a positive attitude.
70 . If you make mistakes, recognize them and then move on. No one can
change the past, but you can learn from it and create a new future.
By finished projects and years well, you can move toward your long-term goals and set
yourself up for future triumphs.

Directions：Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentences can
be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Can just one person make a difference? You bet! In a community every person counts, and
getting involved is not difficult. Take stock of your own talents and interests. ____47____ Don’t wait
for someone else to act first. Take the initiative! Once you see what you can accomplish, you’ll want
to keep going.
Here are just a few ways to make a difference in your community. How many more ways can
you come up with?
Clean up the community. People often throw litter in places where there is already litter. And the
problem only becomes worse until someone gets fed up and does something. Could your
neighborhood use a cleanup? Neighborhood cleanups are often sponsored by local businesses or
schools. But if your community doesn’t have a cleanup program, get together with friends to organize
one. You could pick up garbage in a larger area twice a year, or you could clean a smaller area every
few months. ____48____
Include the isolated. Do you know anyone who is housebound? Almost all neighborhoods have a
few people who have to stay at their homes. These people are often elderly and unable to leave their
homes to perform simple tasks. ____49____ By letting them“borrow”your legs and eyes, you can
make them feel included. You can run errands for them like shopping or paying bills. They might like
you to read to them if their eyesight is failing. Governments provide some of the services these
people need, but programs cannot give them friendship; that’s what communities are for!
____50____ Reading clubs are popular all over Europe and North America. Members might
read at home to prepare for discussion, or they might read aloud to each other and talk about what
they just read. Either way, a book or article can spark lively discussion and this often challenges
people to take action.
A. Cleaning your community will have a positive effect on others in society.
B. They find a need or an issue you really care about.
C. But they belong to the community, too.
D. Living in a clean neighborhood will be its own reward.
E. Don’t hesitate to take part in the community’s activity.
F. Round up some readers.

only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.
A. They thus focused on two elements that are typical for contemporary work environments.
B. The researchers used online questionnaires to obtain data.
C. The notion that obtaining external feedback about one’s idea is essential for increasing
creativity is deeply rooted in society.
D. The most important in that: when an organization stimulates feedback seeking, it needs to
ensure that this work environment is excellent enough to use the benefits of feedback.
E. The question, however, is whether these beneficial effects always occur.
F. The creative achievements were assessed by their direct managers.
[来源:学_科_网 Z_X_X_K]
Seeking feedback not always sufficient for stimulating creativity
It is widely believed that seeking feedback from colleagues, managers, friends and family
enhances employees’ creativity. But is this always the case? No, a positive effect depends on the
work, environment. This is the conclusion of new joint research study led by UvA work and
organizational psychologist Roy Sijbom.
___67___ For example, managers are encouraged to engage customers in order to confirm
whether their business model is workable and scholars attend conferences to obtain feedback on their
research results. A definite assumption is that individuals who have obtained feedback will also
actually（be able to）use it.
“The idea is simple: seeking feedback from different sources – also known as feedback source
variety – benefits one’s creativity since it leads to a greater diversity of viewpoints”，says Sijbom.
“And the more diverse the viewpoints, the more it benefits one’s creativity because by combing all
the different viewpoints new perspectives will emerge that in turn will result in more creativity.
___68___”
The researchers examined how specific characteristics of the immediate work environment
influence the relationship between feedback source variety and creative performance. ___69___ One
is the recognized rate of change of performance standards. The other is the extent to which
employees feel they have sufficient time to develop creative ideas at work（experienced creative time
pressure）.“We discovered a growing relationship between the search for input from a variety of
feedback sources and creativity, but only when performance standards within an organization are
changing and when a relatively low creative time pressure is experienced”，says Sijbom.
Sijbom offers several recommendations.“___70___ In a more concrete sense, organizations can,
for example, consider using feedback workshops in which employees are encouraged to reflect on
diverse feedback and equipped with techniques and strategies on how to absorb feedback in their
daily work. In addition, managers should not only stimulate their employees to actively cultivate
relationships with potential feedback sources within and outside the organization, but also provide
sufficient time to process the feedback obtained from these relationships.”

Exoplanets：The Hunt Is On
Today scientists believe that planets could outnumber the stars. For centuries, scientists and
natural philosophers have proposed that stars in the night sky have planetary systems similar to our
own solar system. The existence of extrasolar planets, or exoplanets, has long been discussed.
___67___ Although not the first exoplanet discovery, a planet near a sun-like star was discovered by
astronomers in 1995. This kicked off an era of exoplanet hunting, with thousands of discoveries and
confirmations following in its wake.
___68___ However, in 2015 NASA’s Kepler space telescope found its first Earth-sized planet in
a “habitable”zone. This is the distance form a star where surface temperatures of a planet wouldn’t be
too hot or too cold for liquid water. So far, only a small slice of our galaxy, the Milky Way, has been
explored. Even so, scientists have confirmed over 3,500 exoplanets, with more being added every
day.
To detect exoplanets, scientists use data from a variety of sources. Large ground-based
telescopes, earth-circling and sun-circling satellites all collect different types of information. Because
exoplanets are so far away and very close to stars, it is very difficult to see them directly. ___69___
For example, when an exoplanet moves between its star and us, it causes a small drop in the star’s
brightness. Measuring this drop is the transit（凌日）method of discovery. NASA’S Kepler space
telescope has discovered many exoplanets this way.
As a planet circles a star, it pulls on it and causes it to shake. ___70___ Measuring these slight
changes is the radial velocity（径向速度）method of discovering planets. It is one of the most
productive methods for finding and confirming exoplanets.
These are just two examples of the many methods scientists use in their hunt for exoplanets,
hoping for more information and enhanced detail. As time progresses and technology improves, who
knows what else we may find!

Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in
the fewest possible words.
What colour is it today? What shape is that smell? What does that pain sound like? These
questions might seem like nonsense, but four people in 100 might think they make perfect sense.
That four percent have synesthesia, and they naturally experience certain senses together. One form
of this is pairing numbers or letters with a fixed colour – a blue “1” or a red “D.” Other synesthetes,
people with synesthesia, may think the word “hurricane” tastes salty. Yet others with “mirror-touch
synesthesia” see someone hit on the head and also feel the hit themselves.
Synesthesia is not completely understood though it is in our genes. The white matter (脑白质)
of synesthetes is organized differently from that of people without synesthesia, which may account
for the differences in perception (感知). Synesthesia is widely accepted and researched today, but
that hasn’t always been true. Though it caught scientific interest in the late 1800s, it was later rejected
as a self-created way of thinking. But as people have become more fascinated by the differences in
individual perception, a focus on synesthesia has been renewed. At the present time, scientists in
various fields are examining the phenomenon.
As scientists continue to study synesthesia, certain advantages have been noticed. Studies show
that the sensation connections that synesthetes experience aid them in abilities related to memory.
Researchers believe that this advantage may help stop the loss of cognitive (认知) function in the
elderly. This aspect of synesthesia could even help patients recover from brain injuries. Synesthetes
also tend to be artists, singers Pharrell Williams and Lady Gaga being some famous examples. Most
likely, synesthesia doesn’t give artistic sensitivity, but it’s understandable that seeing colours in
music, for instance, could inspire art.
Strong drugs and increasing blindness have been known to cause synesthesia, but these are not
good options for obvious reasons. One recent emphasis of the study of synesthesia is to determine
whether non-synesthetes can acquire it. For now, the University of East London is training adults to
establish letter-colour connections for memory improvement to some effect. It may not be long
before words taste like our favourite foods and our favourite songs look like fireworks.
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)
