When David Carter started to study art at the University of Texas （UT） at Austin in 1971, he had big dreams of becoming an artist or a writer.But he quitted college at 23 after he hurt his hand in an unpleasant incident.He developed schizophrenia （精神分裂症） later and spent many years without a home.
Carter liked to spend time around UT, because he dreamt of being able to continue his study in the university and becoming a writer.After running into Carter many times, UT student Ryan Chandler decided to interview him for a project for The Daily Texan, the student newspaper of UT.
“I interviewed him on Austin's homeless problems.After I heard his story, we kept in touch and really became friends.I learnt he wanted to get back to UT, so I decided to help him,” said Chandler.“He had accumulated 87 hours, very close to a degree.Now, with changing degree requirements, he only has 64 hours to go.”
With the help of Chandler, who worked with the university admissions office, Carter was assigned an adviser by UT's College of Fine Arts.“It's the greatest gift I've ever received,” Carter said.“He did what had to be done to get me back to school, and I couldn't have done it without him.”
After seeing a magazine article about Carter, a UT schoolmate decided to pay his tuition fees without telling Chandler his name.
Doug Dempster, dean of the College of Fine Arts, said in a statement, “David Carter's decision to complete his degree is a testament to finishing well what was started, and interrupted, even many years earlier.We welcome him back as we do many students each year whose education could not be completed easily.We're going to help him through his remaining course work.”

&19& 体裁：议论文 &20& 题材：人生哲理 &21& 词数：357 &22& 难度：&23& &24& 建议用时：8分钟
There seems to be a lot of opinions these days about what is fair, and what is not.Most people tend to believe life should be fair.Some of the 99% seem to believe life has somehow treated them unfairly, and some of the 1% feel life hasn't treated them fairly enough.My questions are these: What is fairness Is life fair Should life be fair
We clearly have no choice about how we come into this world.We have little choice early in life.But as we grow older, choices abound.I have long believed that while we have no control over the beginning of our life, the majority of us have the ability to influence the outcomes we attain.Fairness is a state of mind, and most often, an unhealthy state of mind.The state of our lives cannot, or at least should not, be blamed on our parents, our teachers, or our society—it's largely based on the choices we make, and the attitudes we adopt.
Life is full of examples of the uneducated, the mentally and physically challenged people born into war-torn areas, who could have complained about life being unfair, but who instead chose a different path.Regardless of the challenges they faced, they had the character to choose their contribution over complaint.
I agree that challenges exist.I agree that many have an uphill battle due to the severity of the challenges they face.What I disagree with is the attempt to use fairness to solve all problems in the world.Rules and orders don't create fairness, but people's desire and determination can work around most life challenges.
It doesn't matter whether you are born with a silver spoon, plastic spoon, or no spoon at all.A friend of mine came to this country from Africa in his late teens, barely spoke the language, drove a cab while working his way through college, and is now the president of a firm offering technology services.Stories such as this are all around us—they are not miracles, nor are they the rare exception.They do, however, demonstrate blindness to the mindset of the fairness.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。作者讨论了公平问题，阐述了人生没有绝对的公平，但要勇敢面对不公平的道理。
1.What does the underlined word “abound” in Paragraph 2 mean ( )
C
A.Change completely. B.Remain the same. C.Exist in numbers. D.Disappear entirely.
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句前的We have little choice early in life.可知，此处表示人生的初期几乎没有选择；根据But可知，此处表示语义的转折，由此可推测画线词所在句表达“但当我们长大以后，选择就变多了”。故画线词应表示“变多”，C项表示“大量存在”，与之意义最为接近。故选C项。
2.What opinion does the writer agree with ( )
A
A.Most of us can influence the results we achieve. B.Our background determines our choices.
C.People's desire and determination create unfairness.
D.We should depend on fairness to solve all problems.
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中的I have long believed that while we have no control over the beginning of our life, the majority of us have the ability to influence the outcomes we attain.可知，作者认为虽然人无法掌控自己的出身，但我们大多数人都能够作出影响自己人生历程发展的选择。故选A项。
3.What is the primary purpose of the text ( )
A
A.To promote efforts over complaint. B.To stress the importance of fairness.
C.To share an inspiring story of a friend. D.To prove that fairness is a state of mind.
解析 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其根据第三段内容可知，全文围绕着“没有绝对的公平”这一话题展开论述，作者认为重要的是自己的态度。第三段列举的例子是生活对一些人不公平，他们有的人无法接受教育、有的人有身体上或者精神上的障碍等，可不管他们面对什么样的困境，他们都选择作出自己的贡献，而不是一味地抱怨，此处举例支撑作者的观点。由此可推知，文章的主要目的是告诉人们要努力进取而不是抱怨。故选A项。
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text ( )
B
A.Fairness Is Justice B.Life Is Not Fair—Deal With It
C.Fairness Comes First D.Fairness Creates Chances
解析 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据最后一段中的It doesn't matter whether you are born with a silver spoon, plastic spoon, or no spoon at all.以及Stories such as this are all around us—they are not miracles, nor are they the rare exception.They do, however, demonstrate blindness to the mindset of the fairness.等内容可知，本文用身边的事例阐述了人生中没有绝对的公平，但我们要勇敢面对不公平的道理，B项符合文章主题，故选B项。

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了我们应该如何应对考试焦虑。
1.___
E
解析 上文Stress can improve your work performance and help you think more quickly and more efficiently.提到了压力在生活中带给我们的好处；下文These high levels of stress and anxiety have harmful effects on both your mental health and your performance.提到了压力过大和焦虑太多会不利于健康。所以设空处应起到过渡的作用，承上启下，与前文形成转折，并引出下文的话题，即压力有时还是会给健康带来害处的。E项（话虽如此，但压力有时候会转化为焦虑，这是不可抗拒的）符合语境。
2.___
D
解析 上文说明找到引起焦虑的原因可以帮助减轻其带来的影响，所以下文应该介绍找到焦虑的原因后，会有什么样的结果。D项（一旦你处理好原因，你就能更好地应对焦虑）与前文逻辑一致，符合语境。
3.___
G
解析 上文列举了会带来更大焦虑的一种情况，设空处应该承接前文，讲述这种焦虑产生的结果。G项（这通常意味着你将自己置于失败或失望之中，因为你害怕自己永远不会觉得“足够好”）符合语境。
4.___
F
解析 上文提到了减少考试焦虑的关键是做好充分的准备，同时列举了具体的方法；下文说明我们要根据自己的实际情况来安排，所以设空处应该介绍做充分准备也是视情况而定的。F项（但这可能会根据你的学习进度和学而改变）符合语境。
5.___
A
解析 设空处的位置在本段的开头，根据文章结构可知，设空处应为本段的主旨句，概括本段大意。下文提到持续学习会使我们疲惫，因此，在学习的同时也要注意休息，要劳逸结合，A项（而且，不要忽视照顾自己）符合本段大意。

In a classroom in rural Kenya's Rift Valley, a student takes notes alongside her fellow classmates.She wears the same school uniform—a grey skirt and a green sweater.However, she is more than 80 years older than other students.Priscilla Sitienei said she went back to class to set a good example for her great-grandchildren and to start a new career.“I'd like to become a doctor because I used to be a midwife （助产士）,” she said, adding that her children were supportive of her decision.
Back in 2003, the government of the East African country began an education campaign to help pay for the cost of primary schooling, allowing some older members of society who had missed out on education in their younger days to continue to pursue their dreams.This has given Sitienei more than an education.She's also become a film star.She travelled to Paris in 2021 for the first showing of a film about her journey titled Gogo, which means “grandmother” in her native Kalenjin language.She'll also be heading to New York City soon for the launch of the film there.
Sitienei said her aims were far more practical than becoming a movie star.She had the idea when her great-granddaughter dropped out of school after getting pregnant.Sitienei said, “I jokingly asked her if she had money remaining on her school fee and she said yes, so I told her that I'd use it to attend school.” Sitienei hoped that her great-granddaughter would continue with her studies.But when she refused, Sitienei decided to go to school herself.
Sitienei also enjoys other school activities, including physical education classes.“It keeps me fit.I get to jump around, even though not as much as they can do, but I at least move my body.That's my joy,” she said.
Her teachers use Sitienei's wide experience to keep the peace during lessons.“I appoint Sitienei to help control the class.It works.When I go outside, the class remains silent,” said Leonida Talaam, her class teacher.

Walking through an airport is never easy.Now imagine doing it if you were blind.That's the problem faced by Chieko Asakawa, a computer scientist and IBM researcher.Asakawa often flies between the US and Japan, making the journey monthly.If travelling alone, she has to be helped at both ends of the flight, which sometimes involves endless waiting.Searching for a better alternative led Asakawa to invent a high-tech suitcase that helps get her to the place she wants to go safely.
“I never relax when I travel alone,” she says.“I always think about what technology will help me travel more easily, quickly and comfortably.” It was this restlessness that led to the AI suitcase.
The idea has been in development since 2017 in a collaboration between IBM, other Japanese companies, and Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania.Asakawa says there are hopes to commercialise the suitcase and a pilot scheme is planned to use it in an airport, a shopping mall and
other public spaces.Though the current version is too full of tech to hold any clothes, that could change in the future, she says.
As a runner, Asakawa harboured Olympic dreams as a child, but a swimming accident at age 11 caused her to gradually lose her sight until, aged 14, she became totally blind.As an adult she has paid attention to developing accessibility technology.Among her creations are “aDesigner”, whose aim is to make websites for designers more user-friendly, and “IBM Home Page Reader”, the first voice browser to allow Internet access for blind people.Asakawa has won industry and government awards and been inducted into the US National Inventors Hall of Fame.
“Blind people usually use a white cane （手杖） or a guide dog.A smart suitcase will open up many doors for blind people, because we'd be able to go anywhere by ourselves.Without new technology, we cannot make our society more inclusive,” Asakawa says.“The suitcase is a great showcase for how AI and technology can change the lives of the blind.”
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了盲人浅川智惠子发明了一种高科技手提箱以帮助盲人去往任何地方。

2.What can we say about the suitcase ( )

A.It can hold a lot of clothes. B.It has yet to be widely used.

How would human beings react if we found out we're not alone in the universe What if we knew an alien civilisation was to invade （入侵） Earth What would we do
These are the questions asked in The Three-Body Problem.When a secret military project sends signals into space to get in touch with aliens, an alien civilisation in the face of destruction receives the signals and plans to invade Earth.Meanwhile, on Earth, people begin to separate into different groups: those who welcome aliens and those who want to fight against them.
The novel was written by Chinese author Liu Cixin and published in 2006.Translated into English in 2014 and almost 20 languages since, it was called an absolute “must-read in any language” by Booklist magazine.Liu has won several awards for it and in 2015, he became the first Asian to win the Hugo Award for Best Novel, the highest award in science fiction.
Just from the title, one could imagine that the text might be heavy with physics terms （术语）.But as US writer Jason Heller said, “Indeed this science fiction is full of lengthy passages explaining technical terms.But Liu Cixin supports all of that burning-brain theory with empathetic （感同身受的） characters and thrilling story plots.”
At the very heart of science fiction—and what makes it truly appealing to readers—is the concept of an uncertain future.This allows the author to push back the boundaries of readers' imaginations.Liu fully uses this approach to keep readers anxiously turning the page.While reading, they ask themselves, “What would I do ”
In an interview with The New York Times, Liu said, “China is on the path of rapid modernisation and progress, kind of like the US during the golden age of science fiction from the 1930s to the 1960s.The future in the people's eyes is full of not only attractions and hope, but also threats and challenges.That makes for very fertile soil.”

解析 上文All the houseplants that spent summer days outside should be moved to a shady area for a week before going inside for the winter season.讲的是所有夏季在室外生长的室内植物都应该移到阴凉的地方待一个星期，然后再移到室内过冬，这有助于室内植物适应低光照，C项中的lower light levels呼应上文的a shady area。故选C项。
5.___
G
解析 上文After a week, look for insects on the plant, especially under the leaves.讲的是在植物的叶子底下寻找虫子，insects是关键词。下文再次出现了insects并给出除去虫子的做法，所以设空处的内容应与除去害虫有关，空后的still是关键词。故选G项。

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。
Sally had dreamed of becoming a dancer since the age of three.However, a terrible car accident made that ambition nearly come to an end overnight in 2010.Sally, then a 17-year-old high school student in California, was injured severely in the accident that left her paralysed （瘫痪的） from the waist down.For most people, that would have dashed any hope of a dancing career.But for Sally, it was just the beginning of a new life.Instead of being a barrier, her wheelchair made her more courageous.“I wanted to prove to my community and to myself that I was still ‘normal',” she said with a determined look, “whatever normal meant.”
For her, normal meant dancing, so Sally did it in her wheelchair right alongside her non-disabled high school dance team.“Half of my body was taken away from me, and I have to move it with my hands,” Sally said.“It definitely took a lot of learning and patience.”
After graduation, Sally expanded her dance network to include women who had the same situation as her.She met people online who had suffered various spinal cord （脊髓） injuries, and invited them to dance with her by sharing her determination.“It was such an amazing experience.” Hoping to reach more people in a larger city, Sally moved to Los Angeles in 2014 and formed a team of dancers with disabilities called DREAM.“I want to show that dance is dance, whether you're walking or you're rolling.”
In Sally's dancing team, there was a girl Ella aged 12, who had been feeling depressed since a terrible accident.Having known about the girl's situation, Sally made efforts to seek every chance to help the little girl find back the confidence to live.Thanks to Sally's continuous efforts, the little girl recovered physically and mentally day by day.The other day, an invitation to a national dancing competition arrived.After a heated discussion, they reached an agreement that they would recommend Ella to the competition on behalf of the team.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
On hearing the decision, Ella felt more than worried.____
The audience stood up and clapped for Ella's excellent performance.____
