B.Talentedandpatient.CWarmheartedanddevoted. D.Hardworkingandtraditional.【答案】24.B25.C26.D27.C【解析】【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了英国人SteveWells参与护树志愿项目，投身树木病虫害监测的事迹。【24题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“IfIcanhelptoprotectourbeautifultreesandwoodlands,thenIhavespentmytimewell.(如果我能帮忙保护我们美丽的树木和林地，那么我的时间就没有白费)”可知，Steve认为自己的时间“得值”的原因是能助力保护树木和林地。故选B项。【25题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Sometimeshisworkinvolvesmorethanjustlookingattrees,withreportsfollowedupwiththecollectionofsamples(样本),whicharesenttoForestResearchfortesting.(有时他的工作不仅仅是观察树木，还要在提交报告后收集样本，并将样本送往森林研究所进行测试)”可知，Steve除观察树木外，额外的工作是提交后续报告并收集树木样本。故选C项。【26题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Ifthetreescouldtalk,Iimaginethestoriestheycouldtellmeaboutwhathashappenedaroundthemovertheyears.Ireallylikesurveyingatplacesofhistoricinterestforthatreason.(如果树木会说话，我能想象出它们会告诉我这些年来周围发生的故事。正因如此，我非常喜欢在历史遗迹处进行勘查)”可知，Steve喜欢在历史遗迹勘查树木，是出于对古树背后故事的好奇。故选D项。【27题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中“Hespendsmostofhisweekendsdoingso,pluseveningssometimes,alongsidehisdayjob.

(他周末的大部分时间都在做这件事，有时晚上也会这样做，除了白天的工作)”Steve自愿花费大量业余时间参与护树工作，最后一段中“TheWoodlandTrustrecentlyaskedhimtobeealeadvolunteertohelpandsupportothervolunteers,andheisexcitedaboutwhathissecondyearofsurveying(勘查)willbring.(林地信托基金会最近邀请他成为一名首席志愿者，帮助和支持其他志愿者，他对自己第二年的测量工作感到兴奋)

”中他欣然接受领头志愿者的职责帮助其他志愿者等内容可知，Steve热心公益且对志愿工作尽心尽力，可用热心且投入来形容他。故选C项。CHaveyoueverwishedyoucouldturnbacktimeanddosomethingdifferently?Maybeyou’vesaidsomethinghurtfulorfailedatest.Everyonemakesmistakes;theimportantthingisnottopanic.Rememberthatmessingupfromtimetotimeispartofbeinghuman.Whenyoumesssomethingup,it’seasytofeelannoyedandfrustratedwithyourself.However,mistakesgiveyourbrainachancetoadjustwhatit’sdoingandlearn,soyougetthingsrightinfuture.Infact,theyaresuchanimportantpartofbeinghumanthatyourbodyoftenknowsthatyouhavemadethembeforeyoudo.Scientistssaywhenyoumakeamistake,likefallingoffabike,yourbraincreateselectricalactivity.Thissendsasignal(信号)totherestofyourbrainbeforeyouevenhittheground.Studiesshowthesesignalsteachyoutobemorecarefulnexttime.Makingmistakesteachesyouresilience,whichmeansbeingabletobounce(弹回)backfromdisappointmentsorchallenges.EnglandfootballerLaurenHemp,whowonthewomen’sEuroswiththeLionessesthissummer,sayssometimestheteammakes“mistakeaftermistake”inmatches,butthisjustmakesthemmoredeterminedtoplaybetter.“Evenwhenthingsaren’tgoingourway,wecanstilltrytoturnitaround,”shesays.Whatseemslikeadisaster(灾难)atthetimecansometimesbefunnyafterwards.Soifyoucringeaboutsayingthewrongthinginclass,youcouldbesharingajokeaboutitsoon.“Tryingtofeelfortablewhenthingsgowrongmayseemstrangebutisamorepositivewayforward.Sothebestwaytolearnfromyourmistakesistodealwiththeminadirectmanner”,saysProfessorPragya.Thisisbecauseyouoftenfeelembarrassedbyyourmistakes,soyoutrytohidethemfromothers,whichmakesyoumorelikelytorepeatthem.Whenyou’renotbeinghardonyourself,it’seasiertolearnandthishelpsyoudothingsdifferentlynexttime,sheexplains.28.Whydoestheauthormention“fallingoffabike”inParagraph2?A.Toprovethateveryonemakessillymistakes.B.Toarguethatmakingmistakesisdangerous.C.Toshowhowthebrainrespondstomistakes.D.Toillustratehowmistakescancausephysicalharm.29.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“cringe”inParagraph3probablymean?A.Feelproud.
