About a decade ago, Lawson was at a beach in Virginia watching his kids build castles right next to the waves.
“I kept trying to get them to come back because I thought it was a terrible idea,” he remarked. He wanted them to build their sandcastles closer to the dunes. But they found it more exciting to build right where the waves hit, seeing their sandcastles get destroyed, and then rebuilding them with whatever debris washed up from the ocean. “It seemed so symbolic, somehow, of how life works more than just building your perfect sandcastles,” said Lawson. When he decided to turn that sunny day into a children’s book, the idea came to just use pictures. “It seemed like it would work beautifully without words,” he said.
A Day for Sandcastles is illustrated by Qin Leng. It’s the second wordless picture book for Lawson and Leng since 2021’s Over the Shop. Leng’s illustrations stay pretty true to real life. Three siblings spend the day building sandcastles and watching them get destroyed by a flying hat. “To me it’s a celebration of childhood and the simple joys of life. These are the things I like to capture,” said Leng.
Leng spent part of her childhood in France, and she was inspired by European comic books “What I love to do when I illustrate a picture book is add side stories to the main storyline. I always think about the readers and the longevity of the book, and I want them to be able to discover something new every time they revisit the book,” Leng explained.
At the end of the day, the sleepy-eyed kids pile into the bus that will take them home. “Those last pages are some of my favorite. They capture that feeling like at the end of the day on the beach, when it’s getting dark and you feel completely exhausted,” Lawson said. It must be a universal childhood feeling: happy with sand, sticky from the salt, hot from the sun, and ready to fall asleep the moment you get into the car.
4．Why does Lawson mention the scene where the kids built sandcastles
A. To suggest a way to enjoy leisure. B. To remind readers of the childhood.
C. To convince us of how life works. D. To tell us the inspiration for his book.
5．What do you know about the two books mentioned
A. They are purchased by kids universally.
B. Readers can only find pictures in them.
C. They carry no elements of comic books.
D. The stories are literally works of fantasy.
6．How does Lawson feel when telling us the last pages in the last paragraph
A. Relieved. B. Pleased. C. Disturbed. D. Exhausted.
7．What can be a suitable title for the passage
A. Childhood in sandcastles B. Beautiful childhood memories
C. Popular illustrated books D. Explore the mystery of nature
Rush up the stairs. Play games with your kids. Increasing the vigor (活力) of our daily activities could have a huge impact on our long life, according to a new study of movement intensity and death rate.
The study finds that as few as three minutes a day of vigorous everyday activity is linked to a 40 percent lower risk of early death in adults, even when they do not exercise at all. “It is fantastic” research，said Ulrik Wisloff, the director of the K.G. Jebsen Center for Exercise in Medicine at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
The study’s results join rising scientific evidence that adding a little intensity to our lives pays big dividends for our health, without requiring extra equipment, instruction, gym memberships or time. The idea that how we move influences how long we live is hardly new. Plenty of research links regular exercise with longevity (长寿),including the formal public health exercise guidelines, which recommend at least 150 minutes a week of moderate (适度的) exercise for health and longevity.
More-focused research, though, suggests intensifying some of our exercise increases the health benefits. In a 2006 study from Wisloff’s lab, for instance, just 30 minutes a week of intense exercise dropped the risk of dying from heart disease by about half in men and women, compared to people who were sitting long. Similarly, a study published last year in JAMA Internal Medicine concluded that people who occasionally pushed themselves during exercise were about 17 percent less likely to die early than people who did the same amount of exercise, but at a gentler, mild pace.
Both of these studies, though, were based on people’s recall of how much and how hard they exercised. They also were exercise studies, making them of interest mostly to people who exercise or would like to, which does not represent the greater part of humanity. “If we’re honest, most people are allergic(过敏) to the word ‘exercise,’” said Emmanuel Stamatakis, a professor of physical activity and health studies at the University of Sydney, who led the new study.
8．What is the main finding of the new study
A. There’s a connection between exercise intensity and long life.
B. Increasing the intensity of daily activity may affect our life.
C. Vigorous everyday activity is better than moderate exercise.
D. The way people choose to exercise determines people’s health.
9．What does the underlined phrase “pays big dividends for” mean in paragraph 3
A. Brings great benefits to. B. Causes serious harm to.
C. Takes off the pressure from. D. Raises big money for.
10．Why does the author mention the study from Wisloff’s lab in paragraph4
A. To explain the right amount of exercise improves health.
B. To show energetic exercise raises heart rates and breathing.
C. To prove adding some intensity to exercise brings more benefits.
D. To demonstrate exercise in a gentler way benefits people more.
11．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. People’s subjective recall is reliable.
B. Most people like exercise to a certain degree.
C. The new study involves a great majority of people.
D. The new study has some limitations as previous ones.
An open letter, attracting signatures from the likes of Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, was released early last week. It advocates a 6-month stop to give Artificial Intelligence (AI) companies and regulators time to make safeguards to protect society from potential risks of the technology.
AI has progressed at an alarming speed since the launch of ChatGPT, from the Microsoft-backed company Open AI. ChatGPT reportedly reached more than 100 million users by January, 2023, and major tech companies are racing to build generative AI into their products, which have caught many off guard.
“I think many people aren’t well prepared for the pace and scale of these AI models. They are ideal for spreading misinformation, cheating people out of their money and convincing employees to click on dangerous links in emails,” says Michael Osborne, a machine learning researcher of AI company Mind Foundry, who signed the letter. “I feel that a 6-month pause would give regulators enough time to catch up with the rapid pace of advances.”
Privacy is another emerging concern, as critics worry that systems could exactly reproduce personal information from their training sets. Italy’s data protection authority prohibited ChatGPT on 31 March over concerns that Italians’ personal data are being used to train Open AI’s models. Some technologists warn of deeper security threats. Planned ChatGPT-based digital assistants that can read and write emails could offer new opportunities for hackers.
Unfortunately, many problems of today’s AI models don’t have easy solutions. One tricky issue is how to make AI-generated content easy to detect. Some researchers are working on “watermarking” —creating a digital signature in the AI’s output. However, a recent research finds that tools which slightly change AI-produced text can easily defeat this approach.
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates tells Reuters the proposed pause won’t “solve the challenges” ahead. He notes the people behind the letter are heavily involved in the tech world, which he thinks gives them an arrow perspective on the potential risks.
12．What’s the purpose of the open letter
A. To draw the attention of AI giants.
B. To present the risks of AI technology.
C. To call for a pause on the AI development.
D. To turn down the application of AI programs.
13．What can we infer about AI from the text
A. AI models threaten human survival.
B. AI users have expanded out of control.
C. AI development brings potential dangers.
D. AI technology will replace human beings.
14．What does the author aim to show by mentioning “watermarking” in Paragraph 5
A. It is hard to sign digitally. B. It is easy to detect AI’s output.
C. It is wise to leave a water mark. D. It is tough to settle AI problems.
15．What’s Bill Gates’ attitude towards the 6-month pause
A. Favorable B. Negative. C. Ambiguous. D. Tolerant.
二、七选五
16．The desire to be noticed by peers（同龄人）is a natural tendency. Your style-the way you dress up, the way you carry yourself, the trends you follow-plays a key role in helping your stand out from the others. ① The following tips can help you.
Be yourself.
Why be a second-rate version of anybody else when you can be the first–rate version of yourself Nothing will help you stand out of the crowd more than your own features because there can be only one you. Everyone has their own belief, their own way of thinking, their own experiences that shape their styles. However, self-doubt and fear of disapproval drive many to abandon their own ways and follow what everyone else is doing. ②
Keep an open mind.
Open-mindedness helps you see things from a different perspective, understand others, find opportunities, and learn from others. ③ There are several styles that you should explore and determine which suits your own personality. Nobody knows what fashion you are enthusiastic about. But you should be clearly aware of your own true feelings about it.
Keep up with the recent trends.
Fashion is always changing. ④ As society changes, so does fashion. Changing trends reflect the changes in people’s taste. Similarly, your sense of fashion changes as you gain more experiences in life. Keeping track of the latest fashion will help you redefine your style.
Wear your confidence.
Your attitude towards dressing can make a significant difference to how you look. You can wear a very beautiful dress, but if you can’t carry it with confidence, it will not look good on you. ⑤_____ Don’t wear an uncomfortable dress just because everyone or your friend is wearing it. Remember, it’s okay to have your own style as long as you are confident with it.
A. Also, it tells a lot about your personality.
B. What worked yesterday may not work today.
C. Copying others will make you just another face in a crowd.
D. Having an open mind can be very helpful in defining your style.
E. On the other hand, even an average dress looks great on people who wear it confidently.
F. It is not absolutely necessary to follow every new trend, and you can enjoy the ones you like.
G. Simply following the fashion trends or wearing expensive clothes will not help you get a distinct style.

六、读后续写
34．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-篇完整的短文。
Roses are red, violets are blue,
Sugar is sweet, and so are you.
Those words were what one of my new classmates wrote to me in an autograph book（签名簿）when I moved with my family to a new country, feeling extremely lonely.
Having settled in a completely unfamiliar place, my father and mother worked day and night to provide for the family, though we were still in debt. I spoke a little English and was sent to a public school. Being ten years old, I was placed in the fourth grade. Some of the children in the class tried to be friendly but I didn’t have time to hang around with them after my lessons because I had to help with the housework and look after my little brothers and sisters.
At the end of the school year, all the kids were excited about going to camp, a concept that was quite foreign to me. Also foreign to me were some of the customs the children had. The strangest one was the “autograph book”! It was a blank book, about four by six inches, with pages in different colors. My schoolmates exchanged their autograph books with each other and wrote silly messages on the pages. These messages made no sense to me: “Yours till the kitchen sinks. ” “Yours till the horse flies.” “Yours till Niagara falls. ”（永远属于你） Teachers and older relatives wrote more serious and practical words like a prayer or wish—I remember something about “a wise owl living in a tree”.（少说话多做事的人）
The boy whose desk was next to mine asked me to write a few words in his autograph book. I didn’t know what to say, so I just signed my name. Then he asked if he could write in my autograph book. I explained I didn’t have one, embarrassed and upset.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150 左右；

That night when I went to bed, I felt sorry for myself.

These are the things I like to capture(捕捉)," said Leng.(《沙堡的一天》由Qin Leng绘制。这是继2021年的《超越商店》之后，Lawson 和 Leng 第二本无字图画书。Leng 的插图保持相当真实的现实生活。三个兄弟姐妹花了一整天的时间建造沙保，看着它们被一个会飞的帽子摧毁。"对我来说，这是对童年和生活简单乐趣的庆视。这些都是我喜欢捕捉 的东西。") "可知，文章主要介绍了两本描绘了童年在沙堡里度过的无字圈画书，这两本书 都描绘了童年的快乐，由此可知，A项“在沙保里度过的童年”适合做文章标题，故选A。
8．答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段"Increasing the vigor(活力) of our daily activities could have a huge impact on our long life, ,accord new study of movement intensity and death rate.(根据一项关于运动强度和死亡率的新研究，增加我们日常活动的活 力可能对我们的长寿产生巨大影响。) "以及第二段"The study finds that as few as three minutes a day of vigorous everyday activity is linked to a 40 percent lower risk of early death in adults, even when they do not exercise at all.(研究发现，即使成年人根本不运 动，每天只要进行三分钟的剧烈运动，就能将他们 早死的风险降低40%。)"可知，该研究结果表明运动 强度和长寿之间存在联系。故选A。
9．答案：A

In a 2006 study from Wisloff's lab, for instance, just 30 minutes a week of intense exercise dropped the risk of dying from heart disease by about half in men and women, compared to people who were sitting long.(然而，更有 针对性的研究表明，加强一些运动可以增加健康益 处。例如，在维斯洛夫实验室2006年的一项研究 中，与久坐不动的人相比，每周只进行30分钟的剧烈运动就能使男性和女性死于心脏病的风险降低约一半。)"可知，第四段提到维斯洛夫实验室的一项 研究，是为了证明上一句 加强一些运动可以增加健康益处。故选C。
11．答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段"Both of these studies, though, were based on people's recall of how much and how hard they exercised. They also were exercise studies, making them of interest mostly to people who exercise or would like to, which does not represent the greater part of humanity.(然而，这两项研究都是基于人们对他们锻炼的次数和强度的回忆。它们也是运动研究，使它们主要对那些运动或想要 运动的人感兴趣，这并不代表人类的大部分。)"可知，这项研究也存在一定的局限性。故选D。
12．答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段"It advocates a 6-month pause to give Artificial Intelligence (AI) companies and regulators time to make safeguards to protect society from potential risks of the technology. " (它主张暂停6个月，让人工智能(AI)公司和监管机构有时间制定保障措施，保护社会免受该技术的潜在风险。)可知，这封公开信是为了呼吁让人工智能发展暂停一段时间。故选C。
13．答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段第二句"They are ideal for spreading misinformation, cheating people out of their money and convincing employees to click on dangerous links online,"(它们是传播错误信息、骗取人们钱财和说服员工点击网上危险链接的理想工具,)及第四段第一句 "Privacy is another growing concern, as critics worry that systems could exactly reproduce personal information from their training sets."(隐私是另一个新出现的问题，因为批评者担心 train 系统可以准确地从他们的训练集合中复制个人信息。)可知，人工智能的发展会带来一些弊 端，存在潜在的危险。故选C。
14．答案：D

15．答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句"Microsoft CEO Bill Gates says that the proposed pause won't "solve the challenges" ahead."(微软联合创始人比尔 盖茨对路透社表示。拟议中的暂 停不会"解决"未来的挑战。)以及"He believes the people behind the letter are heavily involved in the technology world, which he thinks gives them a narrow perspective on the potential risks. (他认为，这封信背后的人与科技世界有着密切的联系，他认为这让他们对潜在风险的看法 很狭隘。)"可知，比尔 盖茨认为6个月的暂停计划无法解决未来的挑战，他认为这封公开 信会导致人们对潜在风险的看法变得很狭隘。因此对该计划持否定的态度。故选B。
16．答案：GCDBE
解析：①逻辑关系题。根据上文"Your style - the w ay you dress up, the way you carry yourself, the trends you follow—plays a key role in helping your stand out from the others.(你的风格--你打扮的 方式，你表现自己的方式，你追随的潮流--在帮助 你脱颖而出方面起着关键作用。)"可知下文可接G 项内容"紧跟时尚潮流或穿昂贵的衣服，并不能帮 你获得一种独特的风格"，连接下一句"那么以下的建议可以帮助到你。"做到承上启下的作用，故选G。
②细节理解题。根据上文"However, self-doubt and fear of disapproval drive many to abandon their own ways and follow what everyone else is doing.(然而，自我怀疑和对否定的恐惧驱使许 多人放弃自己的方式，跟随别人的做法。)"结合主题"Be yourself (做自己)"可知，模仿别人只会 让你在人群中变成另一张脸，C项内容切题，故选 C。
③细节理解题。根据上文"Open-mindedness helps you see things from a different perspective, understand others, find opportunities, and I earn from others.(开放的心态可以帮助你从不同 的角度看问题，理解他人，发现机会，并向他人学习。)"结合本段主题"Keep an open mind.(保持 思维的开发)"可知保持开放的心态对定义你的风 格很有帮助，D项内容切题，故选D。
④推理判断题。根据下文"As society changes, so does fashion. Changing trends reflect the changes in people's taste. Similarly, your sense of fashion changes as you gain more experiences in life.(社会在变，时尚也在变。变化的趋势反映 了人们品味的变化。同样的，你的时尚感也会随着 你生活经验的增加而改变。)"可推出昨天起作用 的今天可能行不通，B项内容切题，故选B。

Dear teachers, parents and fellow guys,
It is a great honor for me to deliver a speech at the Coming-Of-Age Rite.

In the future, we hope to be the backbone of our country and make China more powerful.

34．答案：
That night when I went to bed, I felt sorry for myself. I couldn’t help but thinking about how different my life was from that of my classmates. They all seemed to have so much more than me. I was missing out on all the fun that my classmates were having just because I was an immigrant. Tears rolling down my cheeks, I felt lonely and hopeless. How I wished I could have a life without anxiety for food and clothes and a school life where I could fit in happily.
The next day, the boy sitting beside me whispered he wanted to give me something at break. As soon as the bell rang for break, he handed me a small box with a big smile. Inside it was a book with multicolored pages—an autograph book—just like everyone else’s. Looking through the pages, I was touched by those warm words written in the gift, tears welling up in my eyes. I felt included and accepted for the first time after arriving in America. From that day forward, I realized there were always people who were willing to help and make a difference in someone’s life.

About a decade ago, Lawson was at a beach in Virginia watching his kids build castles right next to the waves.
“I kept trying to get them to come back because I thought it was a terrible idea,” he remarked. He wanted them to build their sandcastles closer to the dunes. But they found it more exciting to build right where the waves hit, seeing their sandcastles get destroyed, and then rebuilding them with whatever debris washed up from the ocean. “It seemed so symbolic, somehow, of how life works more than just building your perfect sandcastles,” said Lawson. When he decided to turn that sunny day into a children’s book, the idea came to just use pictures. “It seemed like it would work beautifully without words,” he said.
A Day for Sandcastles is illustrated by Qin Leng. It’s the second wordless picture book for Lawson and Leng since 2021’s Over the Shop. Leng’s illustrations stay pretty true to real life. Three siblings spend the day building sandcastles and watching them get destroyed by a flying hat. “To me it’s a celebration of childhood and the simple joys of life. These are the things I like to capture,” said Leng.
Leng spent part of her childhood in France, and she was inspired by European comic books “What I love to do when I illustrate a picture book is add side stories to the main storyline. I always think about the readers and the longevity of the book, and I want them to be able to discover something new every time they revisit the book,” Leng explained.
At the end of the day, the sleepy-eyed kids pile into the bus that will take them home. “Those last pages are some of my favorite. They capture that feeling like at the end of the day on the beach, when it’s getting dark and you feel completely exhausted,” Lawson said. It must be a universal childhood feeling: happy with sand, sticky from the salt, hot from the sun, and ready to fall asleep the moment you get into the car.
4．Why does Lawson mention the scene where the kids built sandcastles
A. To suggest a way to enjoy leisure. B. To remind readers of the childhood.
C. To convince us of how life works. D. To tell us the inspiration for his book.
5．What do you know about the two books mentioned
A. They are purchased by kids universally.
B. Readers can only find pictures in them.
C. They carry no elements of comic books.
D. The stories are literally works of fantasy.
6．How does Lawson feel when telling us the last pages in the last paragraph
A. Relieved. B. Pleased. C. Disturbed. D. Exhausted.
7．What can be a suitable title for the passage
A. Childhood in sandcastles B. Beautiful childhood memories
C. Popular illustrated books D. Explore the mystery of nature
Rush up the stairs. Play games with your kids. Increasing the vigor (活力) of our daily activities could have a huge impact on our long life, according to a new study of movement intensity and death rate.
The study finds that as few as three minutes a day of vigorous everyday activity is linked to a 40 percent lower risk of early death in adults, even when they do not exercise at all. “It is fantastic” research，said Ulrik Wisloff, the director of the K.G. Jebsen Center for Exercise in Medicine at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
The study’s results join rising scientific evidence that adding a little intensity to our lives pays big dividends for our health, without requiring extra equipment, instruction, gym memberships or time. The idea that how we move influences how long we live is hardly new. Plenty of research links regular exercise with longevity (长寿),including the formal public health exercise guidelines, which recommend at least 150 minutes a week of moderate (适度的) exercise for health and longevity.
More-focused research, though, suggests intensifying some of our exercise increases the health benefits. In a 2006 study from Wisloff’s lab, for instance, just 30 minutes a week of intense exercise dropped the risk of dying from heart disease by about half in men and women, compared to people who were sitting long. Similarly, a study published last year in JAMA Internal Medicine concluded that people who occasionally pushed themselves during exercise were about 17 percent less likely to die early than people who did the same amount of exercise, but at a gentler, mild pace.
Both of these studies, though, were based on people’s recall of how much and how hard they exercised. They also were exercise studies, making them of interest mostly to people who exercise or would like to, which does not represent the greater part of humanity. “If we’re honest, most people are allergic(过敏) to the word ‘exercise,’” said Emmanuel Stamatakis, a professor of physical activity and health studies at the University of Sydney, who led the new study.
8．What is the main finding of the new study
A. There’s a connection between exercise intensity and long life.
B. Increasing the intensity of daily activity may affect our life.
C. Vigorous everyday activity is better than moderate exercise.
D. The way people choose to exercise determines people’s health.
9．What does the underlined phrase “pays big dividends for” mean in paragraph 3
A. Brings great benefits to. B. Causes serious harm to.
C. Takes off the pressure from. D. Raises big money for.
10．Why does the author mention the study from Wisloff’s lab in paragraph4
A. To explain the right amount of exercise improves health.
B. To show energetic exercise raises heart rates and breathing.
C. To prove adding some intensity to exercise brings more benefits.
D. To demonstrate exercise in a gentler way benefits people more.
11．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. People’s subjective recall is reliable.
B. Most people like exercise to a certain degree.
C. The new study involves a great majority of people.
D. The new study has some limitations as previous ones.
An open letter, attracting signatures from the likes of Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, was released early last week. It advocates a 6-month stop to give Artificial Intelligence (AI) companies and regulators time to make safeguards to protect society from potential risks of the technology.
AI has progressed at an alarming speed since the launch of ChatGPT, from the Microsoft-backed company Open AI. ChatGPT reportedly reached more than 100 million users by January, 2023, and major tech companies are racing to build generative AI into their products, which have caught many off guard.
“I think many people aren’t well prepared for the pace and scale of these AI models. They are ideal for spreading misinformation, cheating people out of their money and convincing employees to click on dangerous links in emails,” says Michael Osborne, a machine learning researcher of AI company Mind Foundry, who signed the letter. “I feel that a 6-month pause would give regulators enough time to catch up with the rapid pace of advances.”
Privacy is another emerging concern, as critics worry that systems could exactly reproduce personal information from their training sets. Italy’s data protection authority prohibited ChatGPT on 31 March over concerns that Italians’ personal data are being used to train Open AI’s models. Some technologists warn of deeper security threats. Planned ChatGPT-based digital assistants that can read and write emails could offer new opportunities for hackers.
Unfortunately, many problems of today’s AI models don’t have easy solutions. One tricky issue is how to make AI-generated content easy to detect. Some researchers are working on “watermarking” —creating a digital signature in the AI’s output. However, a recent research finds that tools which slightly change AI-produced text can easily defeat this approach.
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates tells Reuters the proposed pause won’t “solve the challenges” ahead. He notes the people behind the letter are heavily involved in the tech world, which he thinks gives them an arrow perspective on the potential risks.
12．What’s the purpose of the open letter
A. To draw the attention of AI giants.
B. To present the risks of AI technology.
C. To call for a pause on the AI development.
D. To turn down the application of AI programs.
13．What can we infer about AI from the text
A. AI models threaten human survival.
B. AI users have expanded out of control.
C. AI development brings potential dangers.
D. AI technology will replace human beings.
14．What does the author aim to show by mentioning “watermarking” in Paragraph 5
A. It is hard to sign digitally. B. It is easy to detect AI’s output.
C. It is wise to leave a water mark. D. It is tough to settle AI problems.
15．What’s Bill Gates’ attitude towards the 6-month pause
A. Favorable B. Negative. C. Ambiguous. D. Tolerant.
二、七选五
16．The desire to be noticed by peers（同龄人）is a natural tendency. Your style-the way you dress up, the way you carry yourself, the trends you follow-plays a key role in helping your stand out from the others. ① The following tips can help you.
Be yourself.
Why be a second-rate version of anybody else when you can be the first–rate version of yourself Nothing will help you stand out of the crowd more than your own features because there can be only one you. Everyone has their own belief, their own way of thinking, their own experiences that shape their styles. However, self-doubt and fear of disapproval drive many to abandon their own ways and follow what everyone else is doing. ②
Keep an open mind.
Open-mindedness helps you see things from a different perspective, understand others, find opportunities, and learn from others. ③ There are several styles that you should explore and determine which suits your own personality. Nobody knows what fashion you are enthusiastic about. But you should be clearly aware of your own true feelings about it.
Keep up with the recent trends.
Fashion is always changing. ④ As society changes, so does fashion. Changing trends reflect the changes in people’s taste. Similarly, your sense of fashion changes as you gain more experiences in life. Keeping track of the latest fashion will help you redefine your style.
Wear your confidence.
Your attitude towards dressing can make a significant difference to how you look. You can wear a very beautiful dress, but if you can’t carry it with confidence, it will not look good on you. ⑤_____ Don’t wear an uncomfortable dress just because everyone or your friend is wearing it. Remember, it’s okay to have your own style as long as you are confident with it.
A. Also, it tells a lot about your personality.
B. What worked yesterday may not work today.
C. Copying others will make you just another face in a crowd.
D. Having an open mind can be very helpful in defining your style.
E. On the other hand, even an average dress looks great on people who wear it confidently.
F. It is not absolutely necessary to follow every new trend, and you can enjoy the ones you like.
G. Simply following the fashion trends or wearing expensive clothes will not help you get a distinct style.

Roses are red, violets are blue,
Sugar is sweet, and so are you.
Those words were what one of my new classmates wrote to me in an autograph book（签名簿）when I moved with my family to a new country, feeling extremely lonely.
Having settled in a completely unfamiliar place, my father and mother worked day and night to provide for the family, though we were still in debt. I spoke a little English and was sent to a public school. Being ten years old, I was placed in the fourth grade. Some of the children in the class tried to be friendly but I didn’t have time to hang around with them after my lessons because I had to help with the housework and look after my little brothers and sisters.
At the end of the school year, all the kids were excited about going to camp, a concept that was quite foreign to me. Also foreign to me were some of the customs the children had. The strangest one was the “autograph book”! It was a blank book, about four by six inches, with pages in different colors. My schoolmates exchanged their autograph books with each other and wrote silly messages on the pages. These messages made no sense to me: “Yours till the kitchen sinks. ” “Yours till the horse flies.” “Yours till Niagara falls. ”（永远属于你） Teachers and older relatives wrote more serious and practical words like a prayer or wish—I remember something about “a wise owl living in a tree”.（少说话多做事的人）
The boy whose desk was next to mine asked me to write a few words in his autograph book. I didn’t know what to say, so I just signed my name. Then he asked if he could write in my autograph book. I explained I didn’t have one, embarrassed and upset.

It's the second wordless picture book for Lawson and Leng since 2021's Over the Shop.(《沙堡的一天》 由Qin Leng绘制。这是维2021年的《超越商店》之后，Lawson 和 Leng的第二本无字图画 书。)”可知，文中提到的这两本书都只有图片，所以读者在这两本书里面只能看到图片。故选B。
6．答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中" "Those last pages are some of my favorite. They capture that feeling like at the end of the day on the beach, when it's getting dark and you feel completely exhausted," Lawson said.

7．答案：A
解析：主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中" "It seemed so symbolic, somehow, of how life works more than just building your perfect sandcastles," said Lawson.

It's the second wordless picture book for Lawson and Leng since 2021's Over the Shop. Leng's illustrations stay pretty true to real life. Three siblings spend the day building sandcastles and watching them get destroyed by a flying hat. "To me it's a celebration of childhood and the simple joys of life. These are the things I like to capture(捕捉)," said Leng.(《沙堡的一天》由Qin Leng绘制。这是继2021年的《超越商店》之后，Lawson 和 Leng 第二本无字图画书。Leng 的插图保持相当真实的现实生活。三个兄弟姐妹花了一整天的时间建造沙保，看着它们被一个会飞的帽子摧毁。"对我来说，这是对童年和生活简单乐趣的庆视。这些都是我喜欢捕捉 的东西。") "可知，文章主要介绍了两本描绘了童年在沙堡里度过的无字圈画书，这两本书 都描绘了童年的快乐，由此可知，A项“在沙保里度过的童年”适合做文章标题，故选A。

34．答案：
That night when I went to bed, I felt sorry for myself. I couldn’t help but thinking about how different my life was from that of my classmates. They all seemed to have so much more than me. I was missing out on all the fun that my classmates were having just because I was an immigrant. Tears rolling down my cheeks, I felt lonely and hopeless. How I wished I could have a life without anxiety for food and clothes and a school life where I could fit in happily.
The next day, the boy sitting beside me whispered he wanted to give me something at break. As soon as the bell rang for break, he handed me a small box with a big smile. Inside it was a book with multicolored pages—an autograph book—just like everyone else’s. Looking through the pages, I was touched by those warm words written in the gift, tears welling up in my eyes. I felt included and accepted for the first time after arriving in America. From that day forward, I realized there were always people who were willing to help and make a difference in someone’s life.
