【原文】M: Thank you very much. Thank you Dr. Johnson. Well, it is really great to be back at university again. The thing that I want to tell you today is this: education is important. When I came to the U.S., I was only thinking about being a carpenter, but I could not read the newspaper and I could not understand the news on television or movies or anything like this, so I entered the city college to take English classes for foreign students. I was very proud that I was going to a college because no one in my family ever went to any college or to any university. You know, when you are 15 years old in my country, you finish school and then you learn a trade. And that’s exactly what I did. When I was 15 years old, I learned how to be a carpenter. A year later, I came to America. Luckily, I met a very good teacher who encouraged me to take some math classes, business classes and history classes and I became a full-time college student. And today when I look back, I’m so happy because you never know where life will take you. All of a sudden, I started making money, because I was really good at math. You know, how to work out everything with math is so important. This is something that I learned when I started my own business, which is doing really well.

“Anyone knows single parents who can’t afford to get their child’s hair done for school I will braid (编辫子) it for free!”Brittany Starks wrote on a Facebook post.
She decided to offer her hair braiding services after a family friend delivered backpacks full of school supplies, clothing and shoes for Cayden and Ceniyah in early August. “At the time, I didn’t have anything for my kids to start school,” said Starks, who is in between homes and staying with her mother. “It meant so much to me.”
The unexpected gift made a big difference to Starks and her children, and it motivated her to pay it forward. Starks, who works two receptionist jobs, also braids hair part-time. “The hair-braiding process involves washing, blow-drying, and finally dividing the hair into small sections and braiding it. It also requires multiple supplies — including combs, brushes, hair jam and additional pieces of hair to weave in. It costs anywhere from $150 to $400 at a salon (美发厅), depending on the style,” Stacks explained. “But it can last for months and is a huge timesaver in the mornings.”
When she wrote the Facebook post, she assumed only a handful of people would reach out,but before she knew it, she had 35 appointments booked. Her Facebook inbox was suddenly full of messages from single parents, whose stories of hardship and financial challenges mirrored her own.
“There’s a huge need for this. I could really relate to a lot of the women who reached out, and it made me realize that what I was doing was really important,” said Stacks. “What got me the most was seeing the kids smile.” Given that there was less than two weeks before the start of school, Starks knew she needed to enlist help.
24. What got Brittany Starks to offer her hair braiding service
A. A post on Facebook. B. Her friend’s timely help.
C. Her mother’s advice. D. A trip to her kids’ school.
25. What does Starks say about hair braiding
A. It’s a bit dear. B. It’s time-wasting.
C. It’s an easy job. D. It’s a mother’s duty.
26. How does Starks feel about the response to her Facebook post
A. Rather disturbing. B. Beyond expectation.
C. Far from satisfactory. D. Very disappointing.
27. What can we infer about Brittany Starks from the text
A. She is single with one child. B. She is ambitious and arbitrary.
C. She is in need of helping hands. D. She is free from financial worries.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. B 27. C
【解析】
【分析】本文为一篇记叙文，讲述了单亲妈妈Brittany Starks伸出援手，为那些支付不起孩子编头发家庭的孩子免费编辫子的故事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段关键句“She decided to offer her hair braiding services after a family friend delivered backpacks full of school supplies, clothing and shoes for Cayden and Ceniyah in early August. “At the time, I didn’t have anything for my kids to start school,” said Starks”（8月初，家里的一个朋友给凯登和塞尼亚送去了装满学习用品、衣服和鞋子的背包，之后她（斯塔克斯）就决定提供编辫子服务。“当时，我没有任何东西供孩子上学，”斯塔克斯说）和第三段“The unexpected gift made a big difference to Starks and her children, and it motivated her to pay it forward.”（这个意想不到的礼物对斯塔克斯和她的孩子们产生了巨大的影响，也激励她把它传递下去。）可知，朋友的及时帮助让Brittany Starks开始她的编辫子服务。故选B项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段Starks的话“The hair-braiding process involves washing, blow-drying, and finally dividing the hair into small sections and braiding it. It also requires multiple supplies — including combs, brushes, hair jam and additional pieces of hair to weave in. It costs anywhere from$150 to $400 at a salon (美发厅), depending on the style,”（编发过程包括清洗、吹干，最后将头发分成小块编发。它还需要多种用品，包括梳子、刷子、发卡和额外的头发来编织。费用从150美元到400美元沙龙(美发厅)，根据不同的风格）可推知，编辫子并不是简单的事情，还有一点小贵。故选A项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段关键句“When she wrote the Facebook post, she assumed only a handful of people would reach out, but before she knew it, she had 35 appointments booked.”（当她在Facebook上发帖时，她以为只有少数人会联系她，但在她知道之前，她已经被预约了35次。）及“Her Facebook inbox was suddenly full of messages from single parents”（她的Facebook收件箱突然塞满了来自单亲父母的信息）可知，Starks认为Facebook上的回应出乎意料。故选B项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段关键句“There’s a huge need for this.”（这有巨大的需求。）及“Given that there was less than two weeks before the start of school, Starks knew she needed to enlist help.”（考虑到离开学不到两周的时间，斯塔克斯知道她需要寻求帮助。）可推知，Starks需要寻求帮助来进行自己的服务。故选C项。
C
In recent years, China has witnessed the growth of luxury (奢侈品) brands. In this market, Chinese consumers are now the largest spenders. It’s clear that a new generation of young, materialistic people is increasingly relying on luxury brands to improve its self-image. I am a fashionist too, at least in spirit — I love to look at clothes and shoes. But I don’t understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels. When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary, that’s a scary thing.
What’s interesting is that scientists have found that having luxury things doesn’t lead to happiness. Study after study has shown that although we want material things, when we get them we don’t suddenly become “happy” people. In fact, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things. That’s because experiences are more easily combined with a person’s identity. If I travel to Yunnan, that adventure affects how I think in the future. My memories become a part of me.
Moreover, as Van Boven has observed, young people who pursue happiness through “things” are liked less by their peers. People prefer those who pursue happiness through experiences.
It’s natural to want to express yourself through your appearance. So my advice is: create a look that isn’t tied to a designer label. Convey your own message. Take some lessons from the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. He was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, routinely appears in hoodies and sneakers. These people, successful people, have style. You don’t have to break the bank to send a message about who you are. Take a trip. Go out into the world. Then come back and confidently create your own signature look.
28. What can we infer from the first paragraph
A. The author enjoys buying luxury brands herself.
B. The author agrees to overspend money on material things.
C. The author is critical of youths tying their looks to designer labels.
D. The author finds it natural for fashionists to follow fashion trends.
29. Leaf Van Boven’s studies showed that ______.
A. people dislike those who love luxuries
B. traveling changes a person’s identity greatly
C. luxuries have a negative effect on people’s happiness
D. experiences can bring people more happiness than luxuries
30. What is the author’s advice on expressing oneself
A. Be selective about designer labels. B. Create your own personal unique style.
C. Choose simple and fashionable styles. D. Try styles like Mark Zuckerberg’s.
31. The main purpose of the article is to ______.
A. prove how luxury leads to an unpleasant life
B tell how to express yourself through appearances
C. report on a series of studies about luxuries and happiness
D. persuade readers to invest in experiences instead of luxuries
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。在奢侈品市场上，中国消费者现在是最大的买家。很明显，新一代的年轻人，物质主义者越来越依赖奢侈品牌来提升自己的形象。文章就此现象进行了讨论，作者建议读者将钱投资在丰富自身经历上而不是奢侈品上。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“I am a fashionist too, at least in spirit — I love to look at clothes and shoes. But I don’t understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels. When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary, that’s a scary thing.(我也是一个时尚主义者，至少在精神上是这样的——我喜欢看衣服和鞋子。但是我不明白为什么人们要在设计师品牌上花那么多钱。当一个年轻女性买了一个价值两个月工资的手提包时，这是一件可怕的事情。)”可推知，作者批评年轻人花很多钱来买设计师品牌，以此来打扮自己的行为。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In fact, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things. (事实上，美国科罗拉多大学博尔德分校 Leaf Van Boven 的一系列研究表明，在旅行和类似经历上花钱的人比那些把钱花在物质上的人获得更多的快乐。)”可知，Leaf Van Boven的研究表明，与奢侈品相比，经历能给人们带来更多的幸福，故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It’s natural to want to express yourself through your appearance. So my advice is: create a look that isn’t tied to a designer label. Convey your own message. (通过外表来表达自己是很自然的。所以我的建议是：创造一个不依赖于设计师标签的外观。传达你自己的信息。)”可知，作者建议人们不要通过设计师标签来表达自己，由此可推知，作者建议人们要创造你自己独特的风格来表达自己。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中“You don’t have to break the bank to send a message about who you are. Take a trip. Go out into the world. Then come back and confidently create your own signature look.(你不必为了表明自己的身份而破产。去旅行吧。去外面的世界。然后回来，自信地创建自己的签名外观。)”可推知，作者的写作目的是：说服读者将钱投资在丰富自身经历上而不是奢侈品上，故选D。
D
Quantum ( 量子 ) computers have been on my mind a lot lately. A friend has been sending me articles on how quantum computers might help solve some of the biggest challenges we face as humans. I’ve also had exchanges with two quantum-computing experts. One is computer scientist Chris Johnson who I see as someone who helps keep the field honest. The other is physicist Philip Taylor.
For decades, quantum computing has been little more than a laboratory curiosity. Now, big tech companies have invested in quantum computing, as have many smaller ones. According to Business Weekly, quantum machines could help us “cure cancer, and even take steps to turn climate change in the opposite direction.” This is the sort of hype ( 炒作 ) that annoys Johnson. He worries that researchers are making promises they can’t keep. “What’s new,” Johnson wrote, “is that millions of dollars are now potentially available to quantum computing researchers.”
As quantum computing attracts more attention and funding, researchers may mislead investors, journalists, the public and, worst of all, themselves about their work’s potential. If researchers can’t keep their promises, excitement might give way to doubt, disappointment and anger, Johnson warns. Lots of other technologies have gone through stages of excitement. But something about quantum computing makes it especially prone to hype, Johnson suggests, perhaps because “‘quantum’ stands for something cool you shouldn’t be able to understand.” And that brings me back to Taylor, who suggested that I read his book Q for Quantum.
After I read the book, Taylor patiently answered my questions about it. He also answered my questions about PyQuantum, the firm he co-founded in 2016. Taylor shares Johnson’s concerns about hype, but he says those concerns do not apply to PyQuantum.
The company, he says, is closer than any other firm “by a very large margin ( 幅度 )” to building a “useful” quantum computer, one that “solves an impactful problem that we would not have been able to solve otherwise.” He adds, “People will naturally discount my opinions, but I have spent a lot of time quantitatively comparing what we are doing with others.”
Could PyQuantum really be leading all the competition “by a wide margin”, as Taylor claims I don’t know. I’m certainly not going to advise my friend or anyone else to invest in quantum computers. But I trust Taylor, just as I trust Johnson.
32. Regarding Johnson’s concerns, the author feels ________.
A. sympathetic B. unconcerned C. doubtful D. excited
33. What leads to Taylor’s optimism about quantum computing
A. His dominance in physics. B. The competition in the field.
C. His confidence in PyQuantum. D. The investment of tech companies.
34. What does the underlined word “prone” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean
A. Open. B. Cool. C. Useful. D. Resistant.
35. Which would be the best title for the passage
A. Is Johnson More Competent Than Taylor
B. Is Quantum Computing Redefining Technology
C. Will Quantum Computers Ever Come into Being
D. Will Quantum Computing Ever Live Up to Its Hype
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要论述了“量子计算真的会像它的宣传那样成功吗？”，计算机科学家克里斯·约翰逊和物理学家菲利普·泰勒分别阐明了自己的观点。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三自然段“As quantum computing attracts more attention and funding, researchers may mislead investors, journalists, the public and, worst of all, themselves about their work’s potential. If researchers can’t keep their promises, excitement might give way to doubt, disappointment and anger, Johnson warns. （随着量子计算吸引了更多的关注和资金，研究人员可能会误导投资者、记者、公众，最糟糕的是，他们自己的工作潜力。约翰逊警告说，如果研究人员不能兑现承诺，兴奋可能会让位于怀疑、失望和愤怒）”根据最后一段“ But I trust Taylor, just as I trust Johnson.”（但我相信泰勒，就像我相信约翰逊一样）可知，关于约翰逊的担忧，作者是支持的。A. sympathetic同情的，赞同的；B. unconcerned不关心的；C. doubtful怀疑的；D. excited激动的。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The company, he says, is closer than any other firm “by a very large margin ( 幅度 )” to building a “useful” quantum computer, one that “solves an impactful problem that we would not have been able to solve otherwise.” He adds, “People will naturally discount my opinions, but I have spent a lot of time quantitatively comparing what we are doing with others.”（ 他说，这家公司比其他任何公司都“在很大程度上”接近于制造出“有用的”量子计算机，它“解决了一个有影响力的问题，否则我们无法解决这个问题”。他补充说:“人们自然会不相信我的观点，但我已经花了很多时间来定量地比较我们与他人的做法）”可知，泰勒对量子计算的乐观来源于他对PyQuantum的信心。故选C。
【34题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三自然段“But something about quantum computing makes it especially prone to hype, Johnson suggests, perhaps because “‘quantum’ stands for something cool you shouldn’t be able to understand.”（ 但约翰逊表明，量子计算的某些方面使得它特别 prone被炒作，可能是因为“量子”代表了一些你不应该理解的酷东西。”）”可知，本句中含有一个原因状语从句，因为““量子”代表了一些你不应该理解的酷东西”，所以它特别容易被炒作。故prone意为“易于……的”。A. Open.开放的；易受损害的；B. Cool. 酷的；C. Useful. 有用的；D. Resistant. 有抵抗力的。故选A。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二自然段“Now, big tech companies have invested in quantum computing, as have many smaller ones. According to Business Weekly, quantum machines could help us “cure cancer, and even take steps to turn climate change in the opposite direction. This is the sort of hype ( 炒作 ) that annoys Johnson.”（ 现在，大型科技公司和许多小型公司都在量子计算领域进行了投资。据《商业周刊》报道，量子机器可以帮助我们“治愈癌症，甚至采取措施将气候变化转向相反的方向。这种炒作让约翰逊感到恼火。”）”以及最后一段“Could PyQuantum really be leading all the competition “by a wide margin”, as Taylor claims I don’t know. I’m certainly not going to advise my friend or anyone else to invest in quantum computers.（PyQuantum真的能像泰勒所说的那样“以巨大的优势”领先所有竞争对手吗？我不知道。我当然不会建议我的朋友或其他人投资量子计算机。但我信任泰勒，就像我信任约翰逊一样。）”可知，本文主要论述了“量子计算真的会像它的宣传那样成功吗？”，计算机科学家克里斯·约翰逊和物理学家菲利普·泰勒分别阐明了自己的观点。所以短文的最佳标题为“量子计算真的会像它的宣传那样成功吗？”。故选D。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何正确和安全地使用手机的定位功能。
【36题详解】
空前一句“There are lots of great uses for this technology.”提到手机定位装置很有用，空后一句“So make sure you're permitted to use an app or service, and pay attention to how you are using it.”提到，你要确保你被允许使用某个软件或服务，并注意如何使用。空前后为转折关系，C项“然而，这些服务并不是适用于所有孩子”符合语境，故选C项。
【37题详解】
根据空前一句“Some location sharing services are games that let you give a shout out when you've turned up at a particular spot. (有些位置共享服务是当你出现在某个特定地点时，你可以大声喊出来的游戏。)”及空后一句“Still others continue to share your location until you change the setting.(还有一些继续分享你的位置，直到你改变设置。)”可知，此处是列举一些定位服务，F项“其他的则显示出你在所有时间或一段时间内所处的位置。”符合语境，F项中的Others与上文Some及下文Still others呼应。故选F项。
【38题详解】
根据空后一句“This means people can search to see if you're online and add you as a friend.(这意味着人们可以通过搜索查看你是否在线，并添加你为好友。)”可知，有些定位装置像社交软件一样，可以加好友，G 项“有些定位服务的操作像Facebook一样，你可以邀请并接受朋友。”符合语境。G项中的friends呼应上下文。故选G项。
【39题详解】
空处是段落主题句，根据本段中“Some services automatically stop sending your location after a period of time, but others will send it forever—until you stop it. Review your contact list periodically …(有些服务会在一段时间后自动停止发送你的位置，但有些服务会一直发送——直到你停止。定期查看你的联系列表……)”可知，本段主要讲了一些定位装置会自动停止，而另一些总是不停地发送你的位置，因此你需要经常查看，A项“经常返回查看”可以作为本段主旨句。故选A项。
【40题详解】
根据空前一句“Location based services are a great way for teens to let parents know where they are without having to call or text.(基于位置的服务是一个对青少年很好的方式，让父母知道他们在哪里，而不用打电话或发短信。)”可知，本段主要讲定位装置可以使父母放心，E项“查看位置可以缓解担忧，这样他们不必跟踪你的每一个动作。”符合语境。E项中的“ease worries”与本段内容呼应，故选E项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要是关于学生该如何选择自己要上的学校的建议，说明了虽然亲戚和同事可能有非常有价值的建议，但还是要自己做决定，充分考虑每一种选择, 保持开放的心态, 把自己的教育放在首位。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：像许多其他学生一样，你可能有各种各样的人，包括家人和朋友会对你的大学决定提供意见。本句的谓语动词是may have，这里的give是非谓语，give的逻辑主语是various people，give与逻辑主语之间是主动关系，故用现在分词形式。故填giving。
【57题详解】
考查形容词。句意：虽然你信任的许多亲戚和同龄人可能有非常有价值的建议，可以帮助你做决定，但最终选择权在你，只有你。根据后面的名词advice可知，横线上需填一个形容词，value的形容词形式为valuable。故填valuable。
【58题详解】
考查形容词。句意：只有你才能完全意识到大学的哪些方面会让你真正快乐和满足，所以要把这一点放在你的脑子里。根据前面的happy可知，and并列了横线上需要一个形容词作宾语补足语，且这里是形容人的感受。故填satisfied。
【59题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：在你做决定的早期阶段，把一所特定的学校作为首选是很容易的，它甚至可能成为你的最佳选择——但一定要仔细评估每一所录取你的学校，因为你申请每一所学校都有特定的理由。此处为“it be adj. to do sth.”句型，it作形式主语，不定式为真正主语。横线上是动词不定式为真正的主语。故填to let。
【60题详解】
考查介词。句意：在你做决定的过程中，让一个特定的学校在早期就成为一个领先者是很容易的，它甚至可能成为获胜的选择，但一定要仔细评估每一个已经录取了你的学校，因为你申请每个学校都有特殊的原因。根据后面的process可知，这里说的是在这个过程中。故用介词during/in。
【61题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在你做决定的过程中，让一个特定的学校在早期就成为一个领先者是很容易的，它甚至可能成为获胜的选择，但一定要仔细评估每一个已经录取了你的学校，因为你申请每个学校都有特殊的原因。这里是定语从句，先行词是every school，指物，从句中缺少主语，且先行词被不定代词所修饰，只能用that不用which。故填that。
【62题详解】
考查冠词。句意：一定要保持开放的心态。学生可以换专业，但请记住，你无法重新度过某个学期，也无法弥补失去的时间。这里的是修饰mind，mind是一个抽象名词，在这里是抽象名词具象化，表示泛指，且open是元音音素开头。故填an。
【63题详解】
考查副词。句意：不要去一所专门为了高中恋情或让别的任何人快乐的学校。这里是副词修饰go to school这个短语，specific的副词形式为specifically。故填specifically。
【64题详解】
考查并列连词。句意：不要专门为了一段高中恋情或者让别人开心而去一所学校上学。这里的“for a high school relationship”和“to make someone else happy”是选择关系否定句中，表示“或者”应用连词or。故填or。
【65题详解】
考查名词所有格。句意：一个学生的大学经历是他或她自己的，学生必须把教育放在第一位。根据后面的college experience可知，横线上是说学生的经历。故填student’s。

【答案】Dear James,
I’d like to give a brief introduction to our school’s psychology club.
In order to let all the students take the initiative to pay attention to and maintain their own mental health, improve the awareness of psychological self-protection, our school established the “psychology club” two years ago.
Recently, we launched an education campaign called “Treasure one’s life”. Activities included watching educational videos, listening to expert lectures and discussions between teachers and students.
Through this activity, students realized that every life had value to others and society, and that every life deserved recognition and respect. The mentality of the students became more positive and sunny.
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节 (满分 25 分)
67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I’m smaller than everyone else my age. When I walk in the halls at school, I have to squeeze in between the bigger kids to get by. At the playground, sometimes even little kids try to boss me around. Mia, my best friend, is so tall that when she walks, I have to jog to keep up with her.
I used to try to make myself taller whenever I could. My posture was perfect, straight as an arrow. I hung from the tree in our backyard to stretch out my arms and legs. I even ate all my vegetables. Every day I measured myself, but I was the same height every time. Frustrating!
“Don’t worry,” Mom always said. “Being small has its advantages.” “Really I could never notice any.”
One day, Mrs. Alvarez announced to the class that we’d be putting on a spring play. I practiced all the lines. But at the audition (试演), when I walked up to the stage, Mrs. Alvarez cried, “You’ll be perfect as the elf (小精灵)! You’re just the right size for the costume.” I even never got a chance to deliver the practiced lines. Back home I grumbled (咕哝) to mum that I was made an elf. But she bet I would be the best elf. To please her, I went to rehearsals (排练), though I only had two lines.
Mia got the lead role-a girl wandering through a magical fairy forest in search of her lost dog. In the last scene, she finds a box under a giant mushroom, and when she opens it, her dog jumps out. Mrs. Alvarez’s dog, Prince, played the dog role. She brought him to all the rehearsals, and when he wasn’t onstage, we got to play with him, but he seemed to like me best.
The night of the show, my first line came early, “Let’s ask the Fairy Queen!” Since my only other line was toward the end, I waited offstage, playing with Prince.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Finally, the grand end came, and Prince was brought onstage inside the box.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“How can we get Prince out from beneath the stage ” Mrs. Alvarez asked.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Finally, the grand end came, and Prince was brought onstage inside the box. He was meek and cooperated well with the actors on stage. He jumped out as it was planned in the plot. He jumped into the giant mushroom, which fell over accidentally. Everyone present there were shocked by the scene and were worried that Prince might got hurt. In a panic, Prince leaped off the stage and disappeared underneath it. Mrs. Alvarez called him, but he whimpered and wouldn’t come out.
“How can we get Prince out from beneath the stage ” Mrs. Alvarez asked. “I’m small enough to get him.” I said. I crawled under the stage through the dust and the cobwebs until I reached him. Prince licked my face. When we came out, the audience clapped and cheered. In face, we got more applause than the stars at the end of the show. My parents were proud and so was I. After that, I stopped worrying so much about my size. In fact, I decided that mom was right and being small has its perks.

“Anyone knows single parents who can’t afford to get their child’s hair done for school I will braid (编辫子) it for free!”Brittany Starks wrote on a Facebook post.
She decided to offer her hair braiding services after a family friend delivered backpacks full of school supplies, clothing and shoes for Cayden and Ceniyah in early August. “At the time, I didn’t have anything for my kids to start school,” said Starks, who is in between homes and staying with her mother. “It meant so much to me.”
The unexpected gift made a big difference to Starks and her children, and it motivated her to pay it forward. Starks, who works two receptionist jobs, also braids hair part-time. “The hair-braiding process involves washing, blow-drying, and finally dividing the hair into small sections and braiding it. It also requires multiple supplies — including combs, brushes, hair jam and additional pieces of hair to weave in. It costs anywhere from $150 to $400 at a salon (美发厅), depending on the style,” Stacks explained. “But it can last for months and is a huge timesaver in the mornings.”
When she wrote the Facebook post, she assumed only a handful of people would reach out,but before she knew it, she had 35 appointments booked. Her Facebook inbox was suddenly full of messages from single parents, whose stories of hardship and financial challenges mirrored her own.
“There’s a huge need for this. I could really relate to a lot of the women who reached out, and it made me realize that what I was doing was really important,” said Stacks. “What got me the most was seeing the kids smile.” Given that there was less than two weeks before the start of school, Starks knew she needed to enlist help.
24 What got Brittany Starks to offer her hair braiding service
A. A post on Facebook. B. Her friend’s timely help.
C. Her mother’s advice. D. A trip to her kids’ school.
25. What does Starks say about hair braiding
A. It’s a bit dear. B. It’s time-wasting.
C. It’s an easy job. D. It’s a mother’s duty.
26. How does Starks feel about the response to her Facebook post
A. Rather disturbing. B. Beyond expectation.
C. Far from satisfactory. D. Very disappointing.
27. What can we infer about Brittany Starks from the text
A. She is single with one child. B. She is ambitious and arbitrary.
C. She is in need of helping hands. D. She is free from financial worries.

In recent years, China has witnessed the growth of luxury (奢侈品) brands. In this market, Chinese consumers are now the largest spenders. It’s clear that a new generation of young, materialistic people is increasingly relying on luxury brands to improve its self-image. I am a fashionist too, at least in spirit — I love to look at clothes and shoes. But I don’t understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels. When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary, that’s a scary thing.
What’s interesting is that scientists have found that having luxury things doesn’t lead to happiness. Study after study has shown that although we want material things, when we get them we don’t suddenly become “happy” people. In fact, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things. That’s because experiences are more easily combined with a person’s identity. If I travel to Yunnan, that adventure affects how I think in the future. My memories become a part of me.
Moreover, as Van Boven has observed, young people who pursue happiness through “things” are liked less by their peers. People prefer those who pursue happiness through experiences.
It’s natural to want to express yourself through your appearance. So my advice is: create a look that isn’t tied to a designer label. Convey your own message. Take some lessons from the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. He was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, routinely appears in hoodies and sneakers. These people, successful people, have style. You don’t have to break the bank to send a message about who you are. Take a trip. Go out into the world. Then come back and confidently create your own signature look.
28. What can we infer from the first paragraph
A. The author enjoys buying luxury brands herself.
B The author agrees to overspend money on material things.
C. The author is critical of youths tying their looks to designer labels.
D. The author finds it natural for fashionists to follow fashion trends.
29. Leaf Van Boven’s studies showed that ______.
A. people dislike those who love luxuries
B. traveling changes a person’s identity greatly
C. luxuries have a negative effect on people’s happiness
D. experiences can bring people more happiness than luxuries
30. What is the author’s advice on expressing oneself
A. Be selective about designer labels. B. Create your own personal unique style.
C. Choose simple and fashionable styles. D. Try styles like Mark Zuckerberg’s.
31. The main purpose of the article is to ______.
A. prove how luxury leads to an unpleasant life
B. tell how to express yourself through appearances
C. report on a series of studies about luxuries and happiness
D. persuade readers to invest in experiences instead of luxuries
D
Quantum ( 量子 ) computers have been on my mind a lot lately. A friend has been sending me articles on how quantum computers might help solve some of the biggest challenges we face as humans. I’ve also had exchanges with two quantum-computing experts. One is computer scientist Chris Johnson who I see as someone who helps keep the field honest. The other is physicist Philip Taylor.
For decades, quantum computing has been little more than a laboratory curiosity. Now, big tech companies have invested in quantum computing, as have many smaller ones. According to Business Weekly, quantum machines could help us “cure cancer, and even take steps to turn climate change in the opposite direction.” This is the sort of hype ( 炒作 ) that annoys Johnson. He worries that researchers are making promises they can’t keep. “What’s new,” Johnson wrote, “is that millions of dollars are now potentially available to quantum computing researchers.”
As quantum computing attracts more attention and funding, researchers may mislead investors, journalists, the public and, worst of all, themselves about their work’s potential. If researchers can’t keep their promises, excitement might give way to doubt, disappointment and anger, Johnson warns. Lots of other technologies have gone through stages of excitement. But something about quantum computing makes it especially prone to hype, Johnson suggests, perhaps because “‘quantum’ stands for something cool you shouldn’t be able to understand.” And that brings me back to Taylor, who suggested that I read his book Q for Quantum.
After I read the book, Taylor patiently answered my questions about it. He also answered my questions about PyQuantum, the firm he co-founded in 2016. Taylor shares Johnson’s concerns about hype, but he says those concerns do not apply to PyQuantum.
The company he says, is closer than any other firm “by a very large margin ( 幅度 )” to building a “useful” quantum computer, one that “solves an impactful problem that we would not have been able to solve otherwise.” He adds, “People will naturally discount my opinions, but I have spent a lot of time quantitatively comparing what we are doing with others.”
Could PyQuantum really be leading all the competition “by a wide margin”, as Taylor claims I don’t know. I’m certainly not going to advise my friend or anyone else to invest in quantum computers. But I trust Taylor, just as I trust Johnson.
32. Regarding Johnson’s concerns, the author feels ________.
A. sympathetic B. unconcerned C. doubtful D. excited
33. What leads to Taylor’s optimism about quantum computing
A. His dominance in physics. B. The competition in the field.
C. His confidence in PyQuantum. D. The investment of tech companies.
34. What does the underlined word “prone” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean
A. Open. B. Cool. C. Useful. D. Resistant.
35. Which would be the best title for the passage
A. Is Johnson More Competent Than Taylor
B. Is Quantum Computing Redefining Technology
C. Will Quantum Computers Ever Come into Being
D. Will Quantum Computing Ever Live Up to Its Hype

67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I’m smaller than everyone else my age. When I walk in the halls at school, I have to squeeze in between the bigger kids to get by. At the playground, sometimes even little kids try to boss me around. Mia, my best friend, is so tall that when she walks, I have to jog to keep up with her.
I used to try to make myself taller whenever I could. My posture was perfect, straight as an arrow. I hung from the tree in our backyard to stretch out my arms and legs. I even ate all my vegetables. Every day I measured myself, but I was the same height every time. Frustrating!
“Don’t worry,” Mom always said. “Being small has its advantages.” “Really I could never notice any.”
One day, Mrs. Alvarez announced to the class that we’d be putting on a spring play. I practiced all the lines. But at the audition (试演), when I walked up to the stage, Mrs. Alvarez cried, “You’ll be perfect as the elf (小精灵)! You’re just the right size for the costume.” I even never got a chance to deliver the practiced lines. Back home I grumbled (咕哝) to mum that I was made an elf. But she bet I would be the best elf. To please her, I went to rehearsals (排练), though I only had two lines.
Mia got the lead role-a girl wandering through a magical fairy forest in search of her lost dog. In the last scene, she finds a box under a giant mushroom, and when she opens it, her dog jumps out. Mrs. Alvarez’s dog, Prince, played the dog role. She brought him to all the rehearsals, and when he wasn’t onstage, we got to play with him, but he seemed to like me best.
The night of the show, my first line came early, “Let’s ask the Fairy Queen!” Since my only other line was toward the end, I waited offstage, playing with Prince.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Finally, the grand end came, and Prince was brought onstage inside the box.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“How can we get Prince out from beneath the stage ” Mrs. Alvarez asked.
