There’s a quote putting, “life doesn’t come with a manual (手册); it comes with a mother.” Thankfully, for Jabez and Christopher, their manual — or mother — found a creative way to keep her little boys’ fingers safe around a sewing machine. And as a result, she turned them into successful business owners.
Queenie Jenkins from Atlanta worked in the fashion industry and in her spare time, made matching scarves and skirts on her sewing machine at home. But once she became a mother with two energetic boys at her feet, her hobby became both difficult and dangerous. So, she turned the problem into a life lesson. Jenkins taught her boys how to use the sewing machine skilfully and safely. It wasn’t long before the boys were no longer green hands. As they grew older, they knew how to change the trousers into shorts for the summer months well.
When Jabez’s elementary school held a Career Day, he made 30 bow ties and 30 hair bows to sell. Within minutes, all of them had sold out. Then Jabez launched Kings and Gents Accessories, a small workshop, in 2018 with his brother. In addition to making and selling their bow ties, the brothers have also written a book and created a YouTube channel to host meetings for other potential “kidpreneurs (儿童企业家).”
Now as a freshman in high school Jabez said inspiring the next generation of business owners is an important part of their mission. “We just wanted to show younger kids how we got started, and how they can get started,” said Jabez, “We’re no different than any other kids.”
Jenkins has plenty to be proud of. Not only have her boys created a successful business, but they’ve gained valuable life skills along the way. “They’ve learned not to give up, to be more creative, and to be thinkers,” said Jenkins. “They don’t allow their fear to stop them.”
4. In which aspect do Jabez and Christopher benefit most from their mother’ sewing machine
A. Life skills. B. Safety rules. C. Business plans. D. Cloth materials.
5. What do the underlined words “green hands” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Awkward learners. B. Attractive experts.
C. Admirable pioneers. D. Amazing artists.
6. Which of the following best describes the brothers’ impact on other potential kidpreneurs
A. Well-rounded. B. One-sided. C. Short-lived. D. Far-reaching.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Mama’s sewing machine. B. Business on the rocks.
C. Sewing the seeds of success. D. Developing creative thinking.
C
Laughter has long been known as a universal language that can bring people closer together. However, not many people know that it can also cause physical pain. “Hah! I’ve been fooled!” said Bob as he realized he had fallen victim to one of Alice’s practical jokes. Bob’s upper back is in pain where Alice patted and a burning sensation shoots up to his head.
Is laughter always good for our health A new study suggests that while laughing does cause the release of “happy hormones” in the brain, it can also lead to discomfort in the upper body. The study, led by Professor Wang from the Beijing-based Center for Cognitive Neuroscience, involved 300 healthy participants, aged between 20 and 45 years old. Half of them were exposed to laughter, while the other half were not.
The study found that those who were exposed to laughter reported feeling more social connection and happiness than those who were not. However, the laughing group also reported experiencing more discomfort in their upper backs and heads. “Laughter can bring people closer together, but it can also activate the stretch receptors (伸展感受器) in the diaphragm (横膈膜), causing discomfort,” said Wang in an interview.
Previous research has linked laughter to improved immunity (免疫力), lower blood pressure, and overall well-being. Laughter has also been shown to improve the function of mitochondria (线粒体), which are the energy factories inside cells. However, like any other physical activity, laughing too much can also cause tiredness and shortness of breath. “Moderation (适度) is key, that is, you can’t laugh too much.” said Professor Xu from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, who was not involved in the study. “While laughter is good for us, we should also be mindful of how much we laugh.”
The findings of the study suggest that the health benefits of laughter are not automatic; rather, they require a balance between enjoyment and awareness of discomfort.
8. What’s the function of Bob’s experience in paragraph 1
A. To explain a concept. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To show a public concern. D. To describe a vivid story.
9. What can we learn from Professor Wang’s study
A. People are too happy to be exposed to laughter.
B. People are likely to feel discomfort while laughing.
C. Laughing more is beneficial to improving our health.
D. Laughing is the best way to become socially connected.
10. What does paragraph 4 mainly discuss
A. The health benefits of laughter.
B. The side effects of never laughing.
C. The importance of moderation in laughing.
D. The connection between laughter and discomfort.
11. What does the last paragraph suggest
A. Laughter can help us stay healthy automatically.
B. Laughter definitely goes hand in hand with discomfort.
C. We should laugh more to keep ourselves joyful and healthy.
D. It’s necessary for us to strike a balance between laughter and comfort.
D
The rise of digital technology has completely transformed the way students live their lives. From the way they socialize to the way they learn, digital technology has become a necessary part of campus life. Then how has digital technology transformed students’ campus life
On the one hand, the use of social media has made it easier for students to keep in touch with their peers off campus. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and WeChat have become popular among students, allowing them to share their daily lives, engage in online conversations, and form virtual communities. Meanwhile, Digital technology has also changed the way students communicate with their instructors. With email and online chat platforms, students can easily contact their teachers for clarification on assignments, grades, and course content. This has improved communication between students and faculty, leading to a better learning experience.
On the other hand, digital technology has also revolutionized the way students learn. With online courses and virtual classrooms, students can access a variety of courses from the comfort of their own homes. This has opened up opportunities for students to pursue their passions and interests outside of their majors. Actually, it has made it easier to promote and participate in multiple campus events. Students can easily create online campaigns to promote events, organize events using online calendars, and even stream events live over the Internet. This has made it possible for more students to get involved and participate in various campus events.
Another benefit which is often ignored is its positive impact on their mental health. With online resources, such as anxiety apps and depression support groups, students can deal with stress and anxiety. They can seek help when in need, as online counseling services are available 24/7.
Digital technology has transformed campus life in numerous ways. While digital technology has brought many benefits, it has also raised concerns about its negative impact on student lives.
12. What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text
A. Types of campus life. B. Change of social life.
C. Ways of students’ learning. D. Popularity of digital technology
13. What can students do when they use social media according to paragraph 2
A. Build different platforms. B. Contact classmates in class.
C. Interact with teachers online. D. Form common communities.
14. Why can digital technology promote campus events
A To stress the importance of campus events.
B. To improve ways students organize events.
C. To light the passions and confidence of students.
D. To encourage more contact with school teachers.
15. What will be possibly discussed in the paragraph that follows
A. The potential risks of digital technology.
B. The reasons for the development of digital tools.
C. How campuses promote diverse digital practices.
D. How we can avoid being addicted to digital technology.

A Girl’s Baseball Dream
Marcenia Lyle loved baseball even though she couldn’t afford baseball cleats (运动鞋). If there was anything in the world better than baseball, Marcenia didn’t know what it was. She dreamed of growing up to be a professional ballplayer, so she could play ball all the time. Her friend Harold gave his old gloves to her. Boys had teased (取笑) her when she first started playing baseball with them. Then when they saw she could run, hit, and throw as well as they could, the teasing stopped. They had let her play.
One day after school Marcenia went to the playground. The boys stood and talked quietly. They cast excited glances at the man who was watching the field. “Do you know who he is ” Harold asked Marcenia as she joined the group. He tipped his head toward the man. “That there is Mr. Gabby Street. He’s running a baseball camp this summer.”
Marcenia knew about Gabby Street. He was a famous coach. “What does he want ” Marcenia asked. “Kids for her baseball camp.” Harold said, “It’s going to be right here on the field every day except Sunday. Sundays are game days.” “What is the cost ” Marcenia asked. “It’s free! It’s free!” said Clarence. “All you need is your own glove and baseball cleats.” Harold added. Marcenia could hardly contain her excitement. She would do anything to be one of the players in Mr. Street’s camp.
That afternoon Marcenia played with purpose. She scored three runs just like she wanted and hit a home run. When Mr. Street approached the players after the game, Marcenia crowded in close so he could see her. “I just saw some good ball,” Mr. Street said, smiling. “Who wants to come to my baseball camp and really learn to play this game ” Every hand went up. Mr. Street shook them all. He shook Marcenia’s hand last. “You’ve got a good arm, little girl, and you run fast,” he said. “I’m sorry but I don’t take girls in my camp.” Marcenia looked down so no one would see her disappointment. She began striking dust from her dress, thinking to herself, “I must hold on to my dream.”
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Marcenia decided to give Mr. Street a reason to change his mind.

There’s a quote putting, “life doesn’t come with a manual (手册); it comes with a mother.” Thankfully, for Jabez and Christopher, their manual — or mother — found a creative way to keep her little boys’ fingers safe around a sewing machine. And as a result, she turned them into successful business owners.
Queenie Jenkins from Atlanta worked in the fashion industry and in her spare time, made matching scarves and skirts on her sewing machine at home. But once she became a mother with two energetic boys at her feet, her hobby became both difficult and dangerous. So, she turned the problem into a life lesson. Jenkins taught her boys how to use the sewing machine skilfully and safely. It wasn’t long before the boys were no longer green hands. As they grew older, they knew how to change the trousers into shorts for the summer months well.
When Jabez’s elementary school held a Career Day, he made 30 bow ties and 30 hair bows to sell. Within minutes, all of them had sold out. Then Jabez launched Kings and Gents Accessories, a small workshop, in 2018 with his brother. In addition to making and selling their bow ties, the brothers have also written a book and created a YouTube channel to host meetings for other potential “kidpreneurs (儿童企业家).”
Now as a freshman in high school, Jabez said inspiring the next generation of business owners is an important part of their mission. “We just wanted to show younger kids how we got started, and how they can get started,” said Jabez, “We’re no different than any other kids.”
Jenkins has plenty to be proud of. Not only have her boys created a successful business, but they’ve gained valuable life skills along the way. “They’ve learned not to give up, to be more creative, and to be thinkers,” said Jenkins. “They don’t allow their fear to stop them.”
4. In which aspect do Jabez and Christopher benefit most from their mother’ sewing machine
A. Life skills. B. Safety rules. C. Business plans. D. Cloth materials.
5. What do the underlined words “green hands” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Awkward learners. B. Attractive experts.
C. Admirable pioneers. D. Amazing artists.
6. Which of the following best describes the brothers’ impact on other potential kidpreneurs
A Well-rounded. B. One-sided. C. Short-lived. D. Far-reaching.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Mama’s sewing machine. B. Business on the rocks.
C. Sewing the seeds of success. D. Developing creative thinking.
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了一位亚特兰大母亲把自己的两个“缝纫小王子”培养成了成功的企业家。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Thankfully, for Jabez and Christopher, their manual — or mother — found a creative way to keep her little boys’ fingers safe around a sewing machine. And as a result, she turned them into successful business owners.(值得庆幸的是，对于Jabez和Christopher来说，他们的手册——或者说母亲——找到了一种创造性的方法，可以让她的小男孩的手指在缝纫机周围保持安全。结果，她把他们变成了成功的企业主)”可知，最使Jabez和Christopher受益的是母亲教会了他们生活技能（缝纫），即两人从母亲的缝纫机中受益最多的是生活技能。故选A。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Jenkins taught her boys how to use the sewing machine skilfully and safely. It wasn’t long before the boys were no longer green hands. As they grew older, they knew how to change the trousers into shorts for the summer months well.(詹金斯教她的孩子们如何熟练安全地使用缝纫机。没过多久，男孩们就不再是green hands。随着年龄的增长，他们很清楚如何在夏天把裤子换成短裤)”可知，在母亲的教导下，男孩们不再是生手，可以熟练安全地使用缝纫机，推测画线短语表示“生手”，与awkward learners意义相近。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Now as a freshman in high school, Jabez said inspiring the next generation of business owners is an important part of their mission. “We just wanted to show younger kids how we got started, and how they can get started,” said Jabez, “We’re no different than any other kids.”(现在还是一名高中新生的贾贝兹说，激励下一代企业主是他们使命的重要组成部分。贾贝兹说：“我们只是想向年幼的孩子们展示我们是如何开始的，以及他们可以如何开始。我们和其他孩子没有什么不同。”)”可知，两兄弟会影响年幼的孩子们，对其他有潜力成为儿童企业家的影响是长久的、深远的。故选D。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Thankfully, for Jabez and Christopher, their manual — or mother — found a creative way to keep her little boys’ fingers safe around a sewing machine. And as a result, she turned them into successful business owners.(值得庆幸的是，对于Jabez和Christopher来说，他们的手册——或者说母亲——找到了一种创造性的方法，可以让她的小男孩的手指在缝纫机周围保持安全。结果，她把他们变成了成功的企业主)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要讲述了一位亚特兰大母亲把自己的两个“缝纫小王子”培养成了成功的企业家，让孩子们取得了成功，所以“缝制成功的种子”适合作为文章标题。故选C。
C
Laughter has long been known as a universal language that can bring people closer together. However, not many people know that it can also cause physical pain. “Hah! I’ve been fooled!” said Bob as he realized he had fallen victim to one of Alice’s practical jokes. Bob’s upper back is in pain where Alice patted and a burning sensation shoots up to his head.
Is laughter always good for our health A new study suggests that while laughing does cause the release of “happy hormones” in the brain, it can also lead to discomfort in the upper body. The study, led by Professor Wang from the Beijing-based Center for Cognitive Neuroscience, involved 300 healthy participants, aged between 20 and 45 years old. Half of them were exposed to laughter, while the other half were not.
The study found that those who were exposed to laughter reported feeling more social connection and happiness than those who were not. However, the laughing group also reported experiencing more discomfort in their upper backs and heads. “Laughter can bring people closer together, but it can also activate the stretch receptors (伸展感受器) in the diaphragm (横膈膜), causing discomfort,” said Wang in an interview.
Previous research has linked laughter to improved immunity (免疫力), lower blood pressure, and overall well-being. Laughter has also been shown to improve the function of mitochondria (线粒体), which are the energy factories inside cells. However, like any other physical activity, laughing too much can also cause tiredness and shortness of breath. “Moderation (适度) is key, that is, you can’t laugh too much.” said Professor Xu from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, who was not involved in the study. “While laughter is good for us, we should also be mindful of how much we laugh.”
The findings of the study suggest that the health benefits of laughter are not automatic; rather, they require a balance between enjoyment and awareness of discomfort.
8. What’s the function of Bob’s experience in paragraph 1
A. To explain a concept. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To show a public concern. D. To describe a vivid story.
9. What can we learn from Professor Wang’s study
A. People are too happy to be exposed to laughter.
B. People are likely to feel discomfort while laughing.
C. Laughing more is beneficial to improving our health.
D. Laughing is the best way to become socially connected.
10. What does paragraph 4 mainly discuss
A. The health benefits of laughter.
B. The side effects of never laughing.
C. The importance of moderation in laughing.
D. The connection between laughter and discomfort.
11. What does the last paragraph suggest
A. Laughter can help us stay healthy automatically.
B. Laughter definitely goes hand in hand with discomfort.
C. We should laugh more to keep ourselves joyful and healthy.
D. It’s necessary for us to strike a balance between laughter and comfort.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文，一项新的研究表明笑也会给人类的身体健康带来负面作用，我们要找到笑与舒适之间的平衡点。
【详解】1.推理判断题。根据第一段“However, not many people know that it can also cause physical pain. “Hah! I’ve been fooled!” said Bob as he realized he had fallen victim to one of Alice’s practical jokes. Bob’s upper back is in pain where Alice patted and a burning sensation shoots up to his head.(然而，没有多少人知道它也会导致身体疼痛。“哈！我被骗了！鲍勃说，他意识到自己成了爱丽丝恶作剧的牺牲品。鲍勃的上背部很痛，爱丽丝拍了拍，他的头部有一种灼烧感)”和第二段首句“Is laughter always good for our health (笑总是对我们的健康有好处吗)”可知，第一段描述Bob的经历是为了引出这个话题。故选B项。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段“However, the laughing group also reported experiencing more discomfort in their upper backs and heads.(然而，笑的那一组也报告说，他们的上背部和头部感到更多的不适)”可知，人们在笑的时候更可能会感觉不舒服。故选B项。
3.主旨大意题。根据第四段“However, like any other physical activity, laughing too much can also cause tiredness and shortness of breath. “Moderation is key, that is, you can’t laugh too much.” said Professor Xu from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, who was not involved in the study.(然而，就像任何其他身体活动一样，笑得太多也会导致疲劳和呼吸急促。“适度是关键，也就是说，你不能笑得太多。”上海交通大学的徐教授说，他没有参与这项研究)”可知，本段的主旨大意为“适度笑的重要性”。故选C项。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段“The findings of the study suggest that the health benefits of laughter are not automatic; rather, they require a balance between enjoyment and awareness of discomfort.(研究结果表明，笑对健康的好处不是自动的；相反，它们需要在享受和不舒服的意识之间取得平衡)”可知，笑带来的健康益处不是自动的，而是需要在愉快和意识到不舒服之间找一个平衡点，可知，我们有必要在欢笑和安慰之间取得平衡。故选D项。

The rise of digital technology has completely transformed the way students live their lives. From the way they socialize to the way they learn, digital technology has become a necessary part of campus life. Then how has digital technology transformed students’ campus life
On the one hand, the use of social media has made it easier for students to keep in touch with their peers off campus. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and WeChat have become popular among students, allowing them to share their daily lives, engage in online conversations, and form virtual communities. Meanwhile, Digital technology has also changed the way students communicate with their instructors. With email and online chat platforms, students can easily contact their teachers for clarification on assignments, grades, and course content. This has improved communication between students and faculty, leading to a better learning experience.
On the other hand, digital technology has also revolutionized the way students learn. With online courses and virtual classrooms, students can access a variety of courses from the comfort of their own homes. This has opened up opportunities for students to pursue their passions and interests outside of their majors. Actually, it has made it easier to promote and participate in multiple campus events. Students can easily create online campaigns to promote events, organize events using online calendars, and even stream events live over the Internet. This has made it possible for more students to get involved and participate in various campus events.
Another benefit which is often ignored is its positive impact on their mental health. With online resources, such as anxiety apps and depression support groups, students can deal with stress and anxiety. They can seek help when in need, as online counseling services are available 24/7.
Digital technology has transformed campus life in numerous ways. While digital technology has brought many benefits, it has also raised concerns about its negative impact on student lives.
12. What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text
A. Types of campus life. B. Change of social life.
C. Ways of students’ learning. D. Popularity of digital technology
13. What can students do when they use social media according to paragraph 2
A. Build different platforms. B. Contact classmates in class.

A Girl’s Baseball Dream
Marcenia Lyle loved baseball even though she couldn’t afford baseball cleats (运动鞋). If there was anything in the world better than baseball, Marcenia didn’t know what it was. She dreamed of growing up to be a professional ballplayer, so she could play ball all the time. Her friend Harold gave his old gloves to her. Boys had teased (取笑) her when she first started playing baseball with them. Then when they saw she could run, hit, and throw as well as they could, the teasing stopped. They had let her play.
One day after school Marcenia went to the playground. The boys stood and talked quietly. They cast excited glances at the man who was watching the field. “Do you know who he is ” Harold asked Marcenia as she joined the group. He tipped his head toward the man. “That there is Mr. Gabby Street. He’s running a baseball camp this summer.”
Marcenia knew about Gabby Street. He was a famous coach. “What does he want ” Marcenia asked. “Kids for her baseball camp.” Harold said, “It’s going to be right here on the field every day except Sunday. Sundays are game days.” “What is the cost ” Marcenia asked. “It’s free! It’s free!” said Clarence. “All you need is your own glove and baseball cleats.” Harold added. Marcenia could hardly contain her excitement. She would do anything to be one of the players in Mr. Street’s camp.
That afternoon Marcenia played with purpose. She scored three runs just like she wanted and hit a home run. When Mr. Street approached the players after the game, Marcenia crowded in close so he could see her. “I just saw some good ball,” Mr. Street said, smiling. “Who wants to come to my baseball camp and really learn to play this game ” Every hand went up. Mr. Street shook them all. He shook Marcenia’s hand last. “You’ve got a good arm, little girl, and you run fast,” he said. “I’m sorry but I don’t take girls in my camp.” Marcenia looked down so no one would see her disappointment. She began striking dust from her dress, thinking to herself, “I must hold on to my dream.”

【答案】范文
Marcenia decided to give Mr. Street a reason to change his mind. Every day Marcenia played baseball, and every day Mr. Street refused to invite her to his camp. However, Marcenia insisted that the key was to focus on her dreams, instead of the hardships she encountered along the way. Then came a day when she decided to take the biggest chance in a game. All her energy was put and all her concentration was fixed on the field. Eventually, she scored the winning run! While her teammates cheered for her, Marcenia eagerly faced Mr. Street.
Mr. Street waved Marcenia over and handed a new shoe box to her. He said in a firm voice, “You’re a great ballplayer! Welcome to my camp!” Marcenia’s eyes widened as he pulled out a shoe with each hand. These were real baseball cleats! “Thank you, Mr. Street!” Marcenia was so excited that she could barely squeeze out the words. Hugging the shoes to her chest, she unbuckled her street shoes and laced on her new cleats. They fit perfectly. She ran and jumped in them. She was on her way to becoming a real baseball player. Since then, she has learned fulfilling one’s dream has nothing to do with age, gender or the thoughts or expectations of others, but a firm belief.
