Dear Peter,
How is it going I’m glad to hear from you. Now I’m writing in response to your curiosity
about the sports meeting held in my school last month.
It took place on October 2, 2023 as scheduled and lasted two days. There were a variety of
events during the sports meeting, such as students’ 100-meter dash , 800-meter race ,high jump
and so on.The highlight of the sports meeting is the the teachers’ tug of war., which is really
exciting.With all the events finished at the end of the second day, an awarding ceremony was held
to reward the winners with prizes.
I took part in the 800-meter race and came second. What I’ve learnt from the sports meeting is
that I should stick to my goal whatever challenges arise on my way to success. Only with
perseverance and hard work can I achieve my goals. Do you have such sports meeting on campus
I’d appreciate it if you could give me an early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
While Dakota loved me and her new home, she still missed her kid. She would utter mournful
howls whenever I took her out for walks in the woods. It seemed as if she was calling for her puppy
to come back. The exact scene made me heart-broken, and I took action all at once, determined to
reunite mother and pup. I called the TV station, asking for conditions about the little dog, only to be
told that Indiana was receiving medical treatment for falling on the ground when jumping over the
fence.
I decided to bring three-legged Indiana to my home. Instantly they got reunited, Dakota couldn't
stop licking her puppy's face. Happy and excited, the two dogs were wagging their tails wildly. The
heart-warming scene moved anyone on the spot. Dakota has since stopped her sorrowful howls
while Indiana has never tried to jump over the fence. These once- separated dogs played together,
chasing each other around the room and slept together with their noses resting on each other. If
there is to be any devotion, it will come through any species.

If art preserves the culture of the Crow people, then Crow women are the keepers of that culture, cultivating it to reflect the modern day.
Fashion designer Bethany Yellowtail grew up riding horses and running in the fields and swimming in the river and being around her people in the Crow Nation and Northern Cheyenne Indian reservations in southeastern Montana. She knows first-hand the importance of art to maintaining native traditions. In 2015 she turned that knowledge into her own brand:
B. Yellowtail. A year later, she created the B. Yellowtail Collective, made up of native artists, to foster economic opportunities for their communities. Many of those artists are women from
different tribes but all of them preserve their culture and move it forward through their medium of choice.
Yellowtail and her team work for the native-owned business that’s rooted in community. Artists within the Collective typically receive 70% of profit from retail sales, and for a portion of the pandemic (流行病) the brand has upped that to 100%. The extra money has, of course, increased artists’ income in the past year, but the relationship is interdependent: without the work of those artists, B. Yellowtail wouldn’t exist and native culture would feel the loss.
Dewanda Little Coyote is Yellowtail’s mother. Family is deeply important to their tribe. So is art, which often runs in the family — and along the matriarchal ( 母系的) side. Little Coyote picked up her entrepreneurial spirit from her parents, who owned a gift shop. “My parents said, ‘If you have hands, create something. Do something, and make a living off of that,’” she said. After her parents passed away, the artist began learning beading ( 串 珠 ) earrings herself. Dentalium (角贝), a tusk shell often used in native jewelry, caught her eye in particular. “I love it, because back in the day, our Cheyenne women wore a lot of dentalium,” she said. “So I wanted to give a contemporary look to that — to what our ancestors wore.”
Yellowtail herself learned sewing from her aunts and grandmothers before moving to Los Angeles in 2007 to study fashion design. Now, native women support native women — and matriarchal art evolves.
Why did Bethany Yellowtail set up B. Yellowtail
A. To make their culture continue. B. To become rich as soon as possible.
C. To reflect the modem fashions. D. To inspire more women to work.
What can we learn from the third paragraph
Native-owned businesses make money more easily.
The profit from the Collective has fallen sharply.
Local artists love to work in their community.
Artists’ income is related to the development of native culture.
Why is Dewanda Little Coyote mentioned in the text
To prove she loves her daughter deeply.
To show how native culture is handed down.
To praise her efforts to help the young.
To appeal to more women to join in jewelry design
What kind of person is Bethany Yellowtail
A. Humorous, modest and cooperative. B. Traditional, cautious and outgoing.
C. Independent, competitive and creative. D. Creative, determined and selfless.
C
In 2020, Pink launched the world Regret survey, the largest survey on the topic ever undertaken with his research team. Pink asked more than 15,000 people in 105 countries, “How often do you look back on your life and wish you had done things differently ” Most of them said regret was at least an occasional part of their life. Roughly 21 percent said they felt regretful all the time. Only 1 percent said they never felt regretful.
If you are of the “no regrets” school of life, you may think that all this regret is a recipe for unhappiness. But that isn’t the case. Letting yourself be overwhelmed by regret is indeed bad for you. But going to the other extreme maybe even worse. To extinguish your regrets
doesn’t free you from shame or sorrow but causes you to make the same mistakes again and again. To truly get over our guilt requires that we put regret in its proper place.
Uncomfortable as it is, regret is an amazing cognitive (认知的) feat. It requires that you
go back to a past scene. Imagine that you acted differently to change it, and with that new scene in mind, arrive at a different present — and then, compare that fictional present with the one you are experiencing in reality. Not all regrets are the same, of course. Pink says they come in four basic varieties, and an instance of regret may involve just one combination.
Many connection regrets overlap (重叠) with moral regrets, which can come about after
you go against your own values. For example, you may pride yourself on being a loving person, and thus regret not living up to this image in the relationship you harmed. Moral regrets can also involve just yourself. Maybe you regret not living up to your commitment to your health when you ate a whole pizza or skipped the gym.
If not analyzed and managed, any variety of regret can be harmful to your well-being. Regret is linked to depression and anxiety, and excessive regret can adversely affect your immune system. But regret doesn’t have to be put aside and ignored.
What could be concluded from Pink’s research
Half of the people felt regretful.
Most people lived without regrets.
None could live a life without regrets.
The majority of the people had regrets.
What does the underlined word “extinguish” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Admit. B. Destroy. C. Treasure. D. Encounter.
What is paragraph 4 mainly about
The harm of moral regrets.
The importance of commitment.
The relationship between regrets and values.
The connection between reality and imagination.
What might the author continue talking about
A. Types of regrets. B. Causes of regrets.
C. Benefits of experiencing regrets. D. ways of dealing with regrets.
D
When someone is happy, can you smell it
You can usually tell when someone is happy based on seeing them smile, heating them laugh or perhaps from receiving a big hug. But can you also smell their happiness Surprising new research suggests that happiness does indeed have a scent, and that the experience of happiness can be transmitted through smell, reports Phys.org.
For the study, 12 young men were shown videos meant to bring about a variety of emotions while researchers gathered sweat samples from them. All of the men were healthy and none of them were drug users or smokers, and all were asked to abstain from drinking or eating smelly foods during the study period.
Those sweat samples were then given to 36 equally healthy young women to smell, while researchers monitored their reactions. Only women were selected to smell the samples, apparently because previous research has shown that women have a better sense of smell than
men and are also more sensitive to emotional signaling — though it's unclear why only men were chosen to produce the scents.
Researchers found that the behavior of the women after smelling the scents — particularly their facial expressions — indicated a relationship between the emotional states of the men who produced the sweat and the women who sniffed them.
“Human sweat produced when a person is happy brings about a state similar to happiness in somebody who breathes this smell,” said study co-author Gun Semin, a professor at Koc University in Turkey.
This is a fascinating finding because it not only means that happiness does have a scent, but that the scent is capable of transmitting the emotion to others. The study also found that other emotions, such as fear, seem to carry a scent too. This ensures previous research suggesting that some negative emotions have a smell, but it is the first time this has proved to be true of positive feelings.
Researchers have yet to isolate ( 分 离 ) exactly what the chemical compound for the
happiness smell is, but you might imagine what the potential applications for such a finding could be. Happiness perfumes, for instance, could be invented. Scent therapies ( 香味疗法) could also be developed to help people through depression or anxiety.
Perhaps the most surprising result of the study, however, is our broadened understanding of how emotions get communicated, and also how our own emotions are potentially managed through our social context and the emotional states of those around us.
What is the main finding of the new research
A. Men produce more sweats. B. Negative emotions have a smell.
C. Pleasant feelings can be smelt out. D. Women have a better sense of smell.
The underlined part “abstain from” in Paragraph 3 probably means .
A. avoid B. practice C. continue D. try
What is the application value of the new research
Perfumes could help people understand each other.
Some smells could be developed to better our mood.
Perfumes could be produced to cure physical diseases.
Some smells could be created to improve our appearance.
We can learn from the last paragraph that .
happiness comes from a scent of sweat.
positive energy can deepen understanding.
people need more emotional communication.
social surroundings can influence our emotions.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Travelling with friends can be an amazing experience where you could make lifelong memories or it could ruin your friendship. 36 Here are some rules you should follow
to make sure your next trip with friends goes as smoothly as possible.
37 Sure, you and your friends probably have some similar interests, but that’s not always the case. In an effort to keep everyone happy, go over travel plans and expectations ahead of time. Have each person categorize activities or sights into “must-see”, “want to see”
and “would go if we have time”. Plan accordingly and make sure everyone can see some of their top attractions.
Communicate and respect each other. Everyone has personal preferences when travelling— from getting the bed closest to the bathroom or sitting in the airplane’s window seat. But sometimes things don’t go as you like. In this case, share your requirements directly with your travel companions. 38 Have a conversation when problems arise, for communication is the key.
Don’t disappear. When travelling with a group — or even just one other person — you may want some alone time. That’s completely fine, but make sure your friends know where you are and have a way of contacting you. 39
Get off your phone. Of course, your friends will understand if you need to take a call from a family member, or in the event of a work emergency, but other than that, try to stay off your phone. 40 After all, the appeal of this type of trip is to spend time with friends. Just enjoy it!
Give each other some space.
Include at least one activity for everyone.
So it’s important to make sure you and your friend(s) are on the same page.
At the same time, listen to their concerns and be respectful of them.
Don’t respond to less important work contact or send messages frequently.
It’s especially true of travelling in foreign countries or unfamiliar places.
And remember that consideration and respect go a long way.

第二节 读后续写 （满分 25 分）
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。
For nearly four months, the little dog, Indiana, fortunately survived in the woods with a wounded shoulder. She’d been mistaken for a wolf and shot while running wild with her mother, Dakota. An animal control officers said they were the most strongly bonded pair he’d even seen and the two dogs refused to leave each other’s side, even while trying to escape being caught.
As a result of the gunshot, Indiana lost both her leg and her mother, for the two were sent to different adoption groups. While Indiana was learning to walk on three legs down south, Dakota was 1,000 miles north in New England. The first adoption family returned her two days later. They said the dog couldn’t bond with humans, kept them up all night and wasn’t suitable to live in a home. Eventually, Dakota found her forever home with me on Long Island. I have experience with such dogs, and Dakota, a husky (哈士奇犬), just needed attention and someone who understood how to approach her. I always let her come up to me. I gave her the time and space to explore and feel comfortable. She soon let me put a belt on her and would lie on the sofa with me quietly.
When I accidentally, read the post of Dakota’s first adopter, it mentioned that the little dog Dakota had been running with was shot, and, I thought, killed. I’m a broadcast news journalist, so I always did some survey and, by chance, heard a story from a South Carolina TV news outlet about a dog that recently had her front leg cut off because of an old gunshot
wound. And anyone who wanted to adopt Indiana was required to have a six-foot fence because she kept jumping over the one at the care shelter in South Carolina. There was no mistaking it — she looked exactly like Dakota. Indiana wasn’t killed by the gunshot, just badly injured.
注意：续写词数应为 150 左右。
Paragraph1:
While Dakota loved me and her new home, she still missed her kid.
Paragraph2:
I decided to bring three-legged Indiana to my home.
