At 104 years old, Dorothy Hoffner fell. Then she kept falling, and falling. When the lifelong Chicagoan finally touched the ground last Sunday, she landed in the history books and became the oldest person to ever sky-dive (跳伞).
As Hoffner prepared to board, she pushed her red walker out and walked slowly to the plane, where two expert instructors helped her up the steps into the hold. “Let’s go!” she said, finally seated. The plane quickly rose, Hoffner looking calm and confident all the while.
When the aft (机尾) door opened to show the crop fields far below, she and the instructor were ready to stand up. When Hoffner first sky-dived at 100 years old, she was pushed out, she said. This time, she wanted to lead the jump.
Seven minutes after her jump she moved slowly in the air for her historic landing. The wind pushed back her white hair. A look of excitement and wonder spread across her face. She picked up her legs as the ground approached. And finally, she managed to land on the ground.
The crowd gathered along the landing area. Friends rushed to share the moment. Someone brought over Hoffner’s red walker. She rose fast, and a reporter asked how it felt to be back on the ground. “The whole thing was wonderful, and couldn’t have been better,” she said.
The Guinness World Record for oldest skydiver was set in May 2022 by 103-year-oldLinnéa Ingegard Larsson from Sweden. When asked how it felt like to break the record, Hoffner replied quickly, “Like I’m old.” But the record didn’t seem to interest Hoffner before the jump. Instead, she focused on the peaceful falling through the sky. Hoffner strongly encouraged others to sky-dive like her. “It’s surprisingly affordable and so amazing,” she said.
24. What did Hoffner do last Sunday
A. She reported a sports event. B. She managed to sky-dive.
C. She celebrated her birthday. D. She wrote a history book.
25. How did Hoffner feel after landing on the ground
A. Surprised. B. Anxious. C. Excited. D. Hopeless.
26. Which probably attracted Hoffner most before her jump
A. The falling in the air. B. Her family’s help.
C. The low cost of the jump. D. Her friends’ support.
27. What can we learn from Hoffner’s story
A. To see is to believe. B. Time tells everything.
C. Hard work pays off. D. Age is just a number.
C
Sometimes parents wonder if they should really give their children chores (家务活). After all, isn’t it the parents’ responsibility to manage the household And don’t children need an opportunity to “just be children” for now because they have the rest of their lives to worry about chores
Most children have really busy schedules. They rush around from one activity to another with little time to clean the house. Despite those concerns, however, giving your children chores may be one of the most important things you’ll ever do.
While giving your children chores can certainly take some of the stress off you, that’s not the only reason you should expect your children to do the chores. Studies show chores are good for children. Research from a well-known 75-year Harvard study shows that chores can shape children to be more likely to become happy, healthy and independent adults.
Why are chores like sweeping the floor and clearing the table so important to children’s happiness in life One reason is that children feel a sense of achievement when they do their chores. No matter whether they’re making their beds or they’re sweeping the floor, helping out around the house makes children feel capable. Doing chores also helps children feel like they’re part of the team and learn responsibility. Helping family members is good for them and it encourages them to be good adults.
Children who do chores gain important life skills that will serve them well throughout their lives. Life skills such as meal preparation, mowing the lawn, or doing the laundry will be important after high school, which helps your children live independently.
28. Why does the author raise questions in paragraph 1
A. To express doubts. B. To make a warning.
C. To lead in the topic. D. To provide background information.
29. What helps children grow up healthily according to research from the Harvard study
A. Chores. B. Less homework.
C. School activities. D. Learning schedules.
30. What does the underlined word “capable” mean in paragraph 4
A. Tired. B. Nervous.
C. Having no time. D. Having the ability.
31. What does this text focus on
A. Skills to deal with chores. B. Advantages of doing chores.
C. The importance of life skills. D. Ways to balance study and chores.
D
Spending time outdoors has long been linked (联系) to better health. Gardening goes beyond just beautifying outdoor spaces—it can have a deep effect on our physical and mental (身心上的) health.
Gardening involves physical activity that works all the main muscle (肌肉) groups, which is helpful for overall health. “Activities such as digging, planting, weeding and harvesting require movement and can help to improve strength,” said Clayton, CEO of an online lawn care company. “Performing these activities regularly can help burn calories, and keep a healthy weight.”
Beyond burning calories and building muscle, lots of studies have shown that gardening can improve the immune system (免疫系统). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that people get at least 150 minutes of exercise each week, and gardening is listed as a suitable activity. Doing garden work for that time each week can reduce the risk of obesity, high blood pressure and heart disease. Additionally, spending time outdoors makes us get close to natural sunlight, which is important for vitamin D synth.
Gardening provides a chance for social connection, too. It can be a shared activity among family members, friends or neighbors, building relationships and a sense of belonging.
Gardening also offers cognitive (认知的) benefits. It excites the senses, improves focus and encourages problem-solving and creativity. It provides a chance to learn about plants, ecosystems and the environment, developing a deeper understanding and appreciation for nature.
32. What is Clayton’s attitude towards gardening
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear D. Uncaring.
33 What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about gardening
A. It improves focus. B. It is a waste of time.
C. It can keep a body in shape. D. It helps to reduce the risk of diseases.
34. How does gardening affect social connection according to the text
A. It contributes to creativity. B. It encourages problem-solving.
C. It builds relationships between people. D. It improves people’s awareness of safety.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. How to Start a Garden B. Choose a Garden or Not
C. What Plants Grow Best in a Garden D. Start Gardening and Get the Health Benefits

“You’re fired!” Andrew Chilton wasn’t joking. At that moment, the high school junior wanted his personal care attendant, Christy Chachere, out of his life forever. He didn’t want her help any more. He thought he could write his own term papers. “You’re fired!” He said it again.
Christy Chachere, a retired PE teacher, didn’t take a step back. She believed she could do this job. “You know, I’ve taught middle schoolers,” she said. What about Andrew’s outcry It was music to her ears. Progress was faster than expected.
When Andrew suffered from autism (自闭症) at age eight, people told his mom, Cindy, to get him on the list for an attendant to provide after-school care. Someone would drive him to places and see that he was safe. In New Orleans, Louisiana, the wait can be years, the need far outstrips (超过) the supply. Cindy had no choice but to turn to the program Volunteers of America for help.
Even so, it was eight years before they were matched with Christy. In the meantime. Andrew’s family did their best to help him get through life’s hardships. “I did worry about him,” said Cindy. There was a lot to worry about. Doctors and school teachers said that Andrew might not even graduate from high school. Other questions were around the corner as well. Would he ever have a job, or live independently …Cindy would do anything for her son.
Christy saw the problem right away. “Andrew wouldn’t take a step without his mother’s permission (同意),”she recalled. “You have to let him fail,” she told the family. “It’s the only way he’s going to learn. He has to be able to do things on his own.”
No longer would Cindy help Andrew write papers. His younger brother wouldn’t help him with the computer, either. It was a little unacceptable to step back. Actually, everyone was on board but Andrew.
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。
Andrew was filled with anger, but things began to change.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“She understood me, and it turned out she was really nice.” Andrew said.

【原文】W: Listen carefully, everyone. There will be a school trip to Hilltop Castle tomorrow. It’s a really interesting place, and I’m sure you’ll enjoy going there. We’re getting group tickets, so instead of the usual price of $6, you only have to pay $3 to visit the castle. And the bus is free. Now, don’t forget that we’re going on March 4th. Mrs. Philips, the school secretary, is away this week, so take your money to Mr. Gifford. He works in the office, too. I’m afraid you’ll have to get up early that day because you have to be at school at 7:30 am. The bus is leaving at 7:45 am and I want you all to be at school 15 minutes before that. At the castle, I’ll give you a piece of paper with questions on it and a pen to fill it out with. You should try to answer all the questions on it. And one last thing: the castle doesn’t have a cafe or a restaurant, so you’ll probably get hungry. Don’t forget to bring a lunch!

At 104 years old, Dorothy Hoffner fell. Then she kept falling, and falling. When the lifelong Chicagoan finally touched the ground last Sunday, she landed in the history books and became the oldest person to ever sky-dive (跳伞).
As Hoffner prepared to board, she pushed her red walker out and walked slowly to the plane, where two expert instructors helped her up the steps into the hold. “Let’s go!” she said, finally seated. The plane quickly rose, Hoffner looking calm and confident all the while.
When the aft (机尾) door opened to show the crop fields far below, she and the instructor were ready to stand up. When Hoffner first sky-dived at 100 years old, she was pushed out, she said. This time, she wanted to lead the jump.
Seven minutes after her jump, she moved slowly in the air for her historic landing. The wind pushed back her white hair. A look of excitement and wonder spread across her face. She picked up her legs as the ground approached. And finally, she managed to land on the ground.
The crowd gathered along the landing area. Friends rushed to share the moment. Someone brought over Hoffner’s red walker. She rose fast, and a reporter asked how it felt to be back on the ground. “The whole thing was wonderful, and couldn’t have been better,” she said.
The Guinness World Record for oldest skydiver was set in May 2022 by 103-year-oldLinnéa Ingegard Larsson from Sweden. When asked how it felt like to break the record, Hoffner replied quickly, “Like I’m old.” But the record didn’t seem to interest Hoffner before the jump. Instead, she focused on the peaceful falling through the sky. Hoffner strongly encouraged others to sky-dive like her. “It’s surprisingly affordable and so amazing,” she said.
24. What did Hoffner do last Sunday
A. She reported a sports event. B. She managed to sky-dive.
C. She celebrated her birthday. D. She wrote a history book.
25. How did Hoffner feel after landing on the ground
A. Surprised. B. Anxious. C. Excited. D. Hopeless.
26. Which probably attracted Hoffner most before her jump
A. The falling in the air. B. Her family’s help.
C. The low cost of the jump. D. Her friends’ support.
27. What can we learn from Hoffner’s story
A. To see is to believe. B. Time tells everything.
C. Hard work pays off. D. Age is just a number.
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. A 27. D

Sometimes parents wonder if they should really give their children chores (家务活). After all, isn’t it the parents’ responsibility to manage the household And don’t children need an opportunity to “just be children” for now because they have the rest of their lives to worry about chores
Most children have really busy schedules. They rush around from one activity to another with little time to clean the house. Despite those concerns, however, giving your children chores may be one of the most important things you’ll ever do.
While giving your children chores can certainly take some of the stress off you, that’s not the only reason you should expect your children to do the chores. Studies show chores are good for children. Research from a well-known 75-year Harvard study shows that chores can shape children to be more likely to become happy, healthy and independent adults.
Why are chores like sweeping the floor and clearing the table so important to children’s happiness in life One reason is that children feel a sense of achievement when they do their chores. No matter whether they’re making their beds or they’re sweeping the floor, helping out around the house makes children feel capable. Doing chores also helps children feel like they’re part of the team and learn responsibility. Helping family members is good for them and it encourages them to be good adults.
Children who do chores gain important life skills that will serve them well throughout their lives. Life skills such as meal preparation, mowing the lawn, or doing the laundry will be important after high school, which helps your children live independently.
28. Why does the author raise questions in paragraph 1
A. To express doubts. B. To make a warning.
C. To lead in the topic. D. To provide background information.
29. What helps children grow up healthily according to research from the Harvard study
A. Chores. B. Less homework.
C. School activities. D. Learning schedules.
30. What does the underlined word “capable” mean in paragraph 4
A. Tired. B. Nervous.
C. Having no time. D. Having the ability.
31. What does this text focus on
A. Skills to deal with chores. B. Advantages of doing chores.
C. The importance of life skills. D. Ways to balance study and chores.
【答案】28 C 29. A 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了做家务带来的一些好处。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段话“Sometimes parents wonder if they should really give their children chores (家务活). After all, isn’t it the parents’ responsibility to manage the household And don’t children need an opportunity to “just be children” for now because they have the rest of their lives to worry about chores (有时候父母想知道他们是否真的应该给孩子做家务。毕竟,管理家庭不是父母的责任吗?孩子们现在难道不需要一个“做孩子”的机会吗?因为他们的余生都要操心家务。)”可知,第一段话通过反问的方式来引出话题——孩子 需要做家务。故选C项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段话“Research from a well-known 75-year Harvard study shows that chores can shape children to be more likely to become happy, healthy and independent adults.(哈佛大学一项著名的长达75年的研究表明,做家务可以使孩子更有可能成为快乐、健康和独立的成年人。)”可知,研究表明做家务有助于孩子的成长。故选A项。
【30题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第四段话中画线单词上下文“One reason is that children feel a sense of achievement when they do their chores.(一个原因是孩子们在做家务时会有一种成就感。)”和“Doing chores also helps children feel like they’re part of the team and learn responsibility. (做家务也可以帮助孩子感到他们是团队的一部分,并学会承担责任。)”可知,无论孩子们做了什么家务,他们都会又一种成就感,且学会承担责任,即让他们觉得自己变得有能力。画线单词意为“有能力”,所以“have the ability”与capable意思接近。故选D项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段话“Children who do chores gain important life skills that will serve them well throughout their lives. Life skills such as meal preparation, mowing the lawn, or doing the laundry will be important after high school, which helps your children live independently.(做家务的孩子会获得重要的生活技能,这将使他们一生受益。准备饭菜、修剪草坪或洗衣服等生活技能在高中毕业后很重要,这有助于你的孩子独立生活。)”可知,本文主要讲述了做家务给孩子带来的好处。故选B项。

Spending time outdoors has long been linked (联系) to better health. Gardening goes beyond just beautifying outdoor spaces—it can have a deep effect on our physical and mental (身心上的) health.
Gardening involves physical activity that works all the main muscle (肌肉) groups, which is helpful for overall health. “Activities such as digging, planting, weeding and harvesting require movement and can help to improve strength,” said Clayton, CEO of an online lawn care company. “Performing these activities regularly can help burn calories, and keep a healthy weight.”
Beyond burning calories and building muscle, lots of studies have shown that gardening can improve the immune system (免疫系统). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that people get at least 150 minutes of exercise each week, and gardening is listed as a suitable activity. Doing garden work for that time each week can reduce the risk of obesity, high blood pressure and heart disease. Additionally, spending time outdoors makes us get close to natural sunlight, which is important for vitamin D synth.
Gardening provides a chance for social connection, too. It can be a shared activity among family members, friends or neighbors, building relationships and a sense of belonging.
Gardening also offers cognitive (认知的) benefits. It excites the senses, improves focus and encourages problem-solving and creativity. It provides a chance to learn about plants, ecosystems and the environment, developing a deeper understanding and appreciation for nature.
32. What is Clayton’s attitude towards gardening
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear D. Uncaring.
33. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about gardening
A. It improves focus. B. It is a waste of time.
C. It can keep a body in shape. D. It helps to reduce the risk of diseases.
34. How does gardening affect social connection according to the text
A. It contributes to creativity. B. It encourages problem-solving.
C. It builds relationships between people. D. It improves people’s awareness of safety.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. How to Start a Garden B. Choose a Garden or Not
C. What Plants Grow Best in a Garden D. Start Gardening and Get the Health Benefits
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述园艺活动有利于身体健康并分析了原因。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段““Activities such as digging, planting, weeding and harvesting require movement and can help to improve strength,” said Clayton, CEO of an online lawn care company. “Performing these activities regularly can help burn calories, and keep a healthy weight.”(“像挖土,种植和收割这样活动需要运动并能帮助我们改善体力” Clayton,一家网上草坪护理公司的CEO说,“经常进行这些活动可以帮助燃烧卡路里,保持一个健康的体重”)”可知,Clayton对园艺活动持支持的态度。故选A。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段第一句“Beyond burning calories and building muscle, lots of studies have shown that gardening can improve the immune system(除了燃烧卡路里和锻炼肌肉,很多研究表明园艺看改善免疫系统)”以及第三句“Doing garden work for that time each week can reduce the risk of obesity, high blood pressure and heart disease.(每周做150分钟的园艺工作能够减少患肥胖,高血压以及心脏病的风险)”可知,本段主要讲园艺活动有助于降低患病的风险。故选D。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Gardening provides a chance for social connection, too. It can be a shared activity among family members, friends or neighbors, building relationships and a sense of belonging.(园艺也为社会联系提供了机会。它可以是家庭成员,朋友或邻居之间的共同活动,从而建立关系和归属感)”可知,园艺活动对社交的影响是它可以建立人们间的关系。故选C。

67. 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。
“You’re fired!” Andrew Chilton wasn’t joking. At that moment, the high school junior wanted his personal care attendant, Christy Chachere, out of his life forever. He didn’t want her help any more. He thought he could write his own term papers. “You’re fired!” He said it again.
Christy Chachere, a retired PE teacher, didn’t take a step back. She believed she could do this job. “You know, I’ve taught middle schoolers,” she said. What about Andrew’s outcry It was music to her ears. Progress was faster than expected.
When Andrew suffered from autism (自闭症) at age eight, people told his mom, Cindy, to get him on the list for an attendant to provide after-school care. Someone would drive him to places and see that he was safe. In New Orleans, Louisiana, the wait can be years, the need far outstrips (超过) the supply. Cindy had no choice but to turn to the program Volunteers of America for help.
Even so, it was eight years before they were matched with Christy. In the meantime. Andrew’s family did their best to help him get through life’s hardships. “I did worry about him,” said Cindy. There was a lot to worry about. Doctors and school teachers said that Andrew might not even graduate from high school. Other questions were around the corner as well. Would he ever have a job, or live independently …Cindy would do anything for her son.
Christy saw the problem right away. “Andrew wouldn’t take a step without his mother’s permission (同意),”she recalled. “You have to let him fail,” she told the family. “It’s the only way he’s going to learn. He has to be able to do things on his own.”
No longer would Cindy help Andrew write papers. His younger brother wouldn’t help him with the computer, either. It was a little unacceptable to step back. Actually, everyone was on board but Andrew.
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。
Andrew was filled with anger, but things began to change.

“She understood me, and it turned out she was really nice.” Andrew said.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Andrew was filled with anger, but things began to change. Soon, Christy would no longer write Andrew’s papers for him and wouldn’t be helping him with homework either. Andrew would start on his homework after school. Christy patiently showed him how to get organized. And she coached him on how to deal with disappointment. Once his work was done, Christy offered freedom. She’d take him to the bookstore, the movies, or out to eat his favorite food.
“She understood me, and it turned out she was really nice.” Andrew said. One step at a time, Andrew gained independence. He graduated from high school and entered community college. He’s working toward an associate’s degree in video game design. He’s studying to get his learner’s permit to drive. Now, Andrew lives a normal life as everyone with delight. He says life has never been better. There is no doubt that Andrew and Christy have done it together.
【解析】
