（2024·黑龙江·二模）I’ve worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every summer since I graduated from high school. But making the transition between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier. For a student like me who considers any class before noon to be uncivilized, getting to a factory by 6 o’clock each morning is a kind of suffering. My friends never seem to understand why I’m so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation.
There are few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world. People of my age always seem to overestimate(高估)the value of their time and knowledge. In fact, all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant, which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down.
The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear overnight. Issues like downsizing(裁员)and overseas relocation(重新安置)had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico, where people would work
for 60 cents an hour.
After working 12-hour shifts in a factory, the other options have become only too clear. When I’m back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy re-writes seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school. All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of education that used to sound boring now ring true.
These lessons I’m learning, however precious, are always accompauied by a sense of guilt. Many people pass their lives in the places I briefly work, spending 30 years where I spend only two months at a time. “This job pays well, but it’s a kind of physical suffering,” said one co-worker. “Study hard and keep reading,” she added.
My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good.
1．How does the author feel after his summer vacation
A．Exhausted. B．Happy. C．Discouraged. D．Confident.
2．What can we infer from Paragraph 2
A．A college student who has never been out in the real world is hardly self-confident.
B．People of the author’s age seem to ignore the value of their time and knowledge.
C．What the author learned at school didn’t apply to his work in the factory.
D．The author hardly made mistakes when making use of the machine.
3．What did the author’s colleagues reveal to the author according to Paragraph 3
A．They might lose their job soon.
B．The unit would take in more staff.
C．They would continue working in Mexico.
D．The unit had run of money and would stop operating.
4．What does the author emphasize in the last three paragraphs
A．The consequence of the author’s skipping classes.
B．The purpose of the author’s working in the plant.
C．The way many people pass their lives in the plant.
D．The significance of the author’s receiving education.
【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要描述了作者从高中毕业以后每个夏天在家乡附近工厂工作的经历，以及这些经历如何影响了他对学习和工作的看法。
1．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“My friends never seem to understand why I’m so relieved to be back at school
or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation.(我的朋友们似乎从来都不明白，为什么回到学校后我如释重负，或者我的暑假一点都不像假期)”可知，作者暑假结束回到学校后会感到如释重负，也就是感到快乐。故选B。
2．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“People of my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge. In fact, all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant, which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down.(像我这样年纪的人似乎总是高估他们的时间和知识的价值。事实上，所有的课程都没有让我做好与我在工厂里运行的机器战斗的准备，每当我心不在焉地把一个零件倒着或倒着放进去时，它就会卡住)”可推断出，作者在学校学到的东西并不适用于他在工厂的工作。故选C。
3．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear overnight. Issues like downsizing and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico, where people would work for 60 cents an hour.(蓝领生活中压力最大的事情就是知道你的工作可能一夜之间消失。裁员和海外重新安置等问题对我来说一直很遥远，直到我的同事告诉我，我所在的单位将在六个月内关闭，搬到墨西哥，那里的人每小时的工资是60美分)”可知，作者的同事向作者透露作者所在的单位将在六个月内关闭，搬到墨西哥，也就是他们可能很快就会失业。故选A。
4．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“When I’m back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy re-writes seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school. All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of education that used to sound boring now ring true.(当我回到大学的时候，逃课和交懒惰的重写似乎太不负责任了，因为我看到了没有学校我会做什么。所有关于教育价值的建议和公共服务公告过去听起来很无聊，现在听起来很真实)”、第五段““Study hard and keep reading,” she added. (努力学习，坚持阅读，”她补充道。)”以及最后一段“My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good. (我在工厂的经历激励我在进入现实世界之前充分利用我的大学时光)”可知，作者在最后三段强调了接受教育的意义。故选D。
（2024·湖南岳阳·二模）There comes a time when the old must give way to the new, and it is not possible to preserve everything from our past as we move towards the future. Finding and keeping the right balance between progress and the protection of cultural sites can be a big challenge.
Big challenges, however, can sometimes lead to great solutions. In the 1950s, the Egyptian government wanted to build a new dam across the Nile in order to control floods, produce electricity, and supply water to more farmers in the area. But the proposal led to protests. Water from the dam would likely damage a number of temples and destroy cultural relics that were an important part of Egypt’s cultural heritage. After listening to different voices, the
government turned to the United Nations for help in 1959.
A committee was established to limit damage to the Egyptian buildings and prevent the loss of cultural relics. The group asked for contributions from different departments and raised funds within the international community. Experts investigated the issue, conducted several tests, and then made a proposal for how the buildings could be saved. Finally, a document was signed, and the work began in 1960.
The project brought together governments and environmentalists from around the world. Temples and other cultural sites were taken down piece by piece, and then moved and put back together again in a place where they were safe from the water. In1961, German engineers moved the first temple. Over the next 20 years, thousands of engineers and workers rescued 22 temples and countless cultural relics. Fifty countries donated nearly $80 million to the project. When the project ended in 1980, it was considered a great success. Not only had the countries found a path to the future that did not run over the relics of the past, but they had also learnt that it was possible for countries to work together to build a better tomorrow.
The spirit of the Aswan Dam project is still alive today. If a problem seems too difficult for a single nation, the global community can sometimes provide a solution.
5．What was the major concern regarding the construction of the new dam
A．The damage to local farms.
B．The high cost of the construction.
C．The disapproval of local communities.
D．The potential harm to cultural remains.
6．How were the cultural sites rescued
A．By rebuilding similar cultural sites.
B．By building fences around them.
C．By taking them down into pieces.
D．By removing and piecing them together again.
7．Which of the following best describes the Aswan Dam project
A．International cooperation is not necessary for large-scale projects.
B．It is possible to achieve progress without sacrificing cultural heritage.
C．The opinions of experts should be ignored in favor of popular opinion.
D．Countries should always prioritize their own interests over global concerns.
8．What is the key to the success of the Aswan Dam project
A．Trial and error. B．Adequate investment.
C．Global cooperation. D．Careful investigation.
【答案】5．D 6．D 7．B 8．C

（2024·湖南·二模）I was sitting in between my parents on a 15-hour flight from Toronto to Seoul, where I was going to negotiate a book project. My Airbnb had enough room for us all. So when my parents brought it up as a half-joke that they would come, too, I didn’t think it was unreasonable.
I was merely 8 when we embarked on our immigration journey. Korea was their country. They wouldn’t need
me there as they did in Canada. But the first week proved to be rough. We were upside down with the time change. My father announced that the first thing they wanted to do was visit my grandma’s grave (坟墓). We had discussed visiting a few relatives, but going to grandma’s grave had never come up. It was starting: family obligations seized my work time. “You guys go,” I said. While my father showered, my mother took me aside. “Your dad has always been counting the days for the moment when he can show her how well you grew up.” I laughed but I was deeply moved. So I decided to accompany them.
As we approached the graveyard, I gathered some colored wildflowers from the parking lot and tied them with a long piece of grass. My parents got busy weeding around the headstone. ”Your name is on the back, my father said. “See here ” I looked, and there was my Korean name carved beside those of my siblings and cousins. It felt odd to see our names on the headstone all of us, the living and dead, connected. I saw a link in a chain that stretches generations back.
I didn’t know how to tell them that the trip was amazing. I realized how I was intertwined with them, and they were interwoven into me. We don’t belong to languages or countries. My grandma died only four months before we moved to Canada, when she was too frail (虚弱的) to make the trip. I hope she knows that we did take her, and that maybe all we have is each other.

（2024·湖南衡阳·二模）Omar Vazquez grew up in poverty on Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula. He watched his single mother struggle to put food on the table, and today the memory inspires him to help those in need. When an invasive (入侵的) seaweed called sargassum showed up on Mexico’s Caribbean beaches, Omar looked past the matter of it all and saw an opportunity to help others.
Sargassum is not dangerous, but it has an unpleasant smell and can become so thick that it keeps people from entering the water. Mexico has experienced record-setting amounts of the seaweed in recent years, and it has made its way to Florida’s beaches as well. Experts say there could be as much as 100 tons of sargassum blocking Mexican shorelines in 2023.
With tourism dollars at risk, officials and locals alike were eager to remove the seaweed, but only Omar saw its true potential. The professional gardener organized a beach cleanup that provided jobs for about 300 local families, but he knew there was more to do. Since people’s attitude towards the seaweed reminded him of his own life experiences, he decided to become an agent (推动者) for change.
When sargassum started arriving, everyone was complaining. “I wanted to make something good out of something everyone saw as bad,” Omar explained.
In 2018, Omar found a way to turn sargassum into building blocks that he calls Sargablock. He creates these blocks by mixing 40% sargassum with other materials like clay, then putting them in a block-forming machine and baking them in the sun for days. The end result is an organic, sustainable, and ecologically friendly building material that experts say could last for 120 years.
To date, Omar’s company, Bluegreen Mexico, has used 700 tons of sargassum to build low-income housing for
those in need. Omar said he would take on more projects, and donate more houses to single mothers like his own mom.
13．What can be learned from paragraph 1
A．Omar’s family often assisted people in need.
B．Sargassum originated on the Caribbean beaches.
C．Omar’s experience in childhood has influenced him much.
D．Omar has met a lot of generous people since he was young.
14．How did most people react to the increasing sargassum
A．They didn’t take it seriously. B．They were anxious to clear it up.
C．They viewed it as new materials. D．They were excited to see a grand scene.
15．Which words can best describe Omar
A．Honest and ambitious. B．Strong-willed and confident.
C．Quick-thinking and humorous. D．Sympathetic and innovative.
16．What does the author mainly want to tell us through Omar’s success
A．It’s never too old to learn. B．Love shines every dark corner.
C．Solutions can be obtained from problems. D．Heroes arise from humble beginnings.

（2024·山西·二模）A 13-year-old California boy has set out for Nepal to realize his dream of becoming the youngest person to climb Mount Everest, the world’s highest mountain. Jordan Romero aims to reach the summits (顶峰) of the highest peaks on all seven continents. The idea came to the teenager in 2005 when he was 9 and saw a school poster of the seven summits.
“I just want to show kids can also challenge themselves by doing something impossible, and more importantly the experience will shape me into a stronger man without worrying about the unknown future, Romero said in a post on a website named after him.
Romero, a native of Big Bear Lake in San Bernardino County, stopped to visit friends near Los Angeles on Monday before boarding a flight bound for Hong Kong. He and his team members are expected to arrive in Asia on Tuesday. They will continue toward Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, and from there set off for the Nepalese-Chinese border where the Himalayas are located.
Mainly with the assistance and support of his parents, Romero already has climbed five of the mountains on his list, including Alaska’s Mount McKinley. Besides, with the aid of his team members who had worked out a detailed plan, he became the youngest climber of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak at 5, 895 meters, at the age of 10.
After climbing Everest, which kills considerable climbers almost every year, Romero is to head to Antarctica
this winter in an attempt to conquer Mount Vinson and complete his seven-summit project by the end of the year. But, his friends are all thinking that there is no need for him to do something irrelevant to school work.
Guides who have experience with Everest say Romero probably will be safe, as long as his team pay close attention to how his body is reacting to low-oxygen conditions near the peak. The current record holder for the youngest to climb Everest is Temba Tsheri of Nepal who was 16 and lost five fingers during his 2001 ascent (登高) due to frostbite (冻伤).
17．What is the main purpose of Romero’s challenge of climbing
A．To turn himself into a tougher man.
B．To observe the views on the summits.
C．To inspire kids to challenge themselves.
D．To make his childhood dream come true.
18．Which mountain is the most dangerous one according to the text
A．Mount Vinson. B．Mount McKinley.
C．Mount Everest. D．Mount Kilimanjaro.
19．What can make Romero secure when climbing Mount Everest
A．His team members figure out a detailed plan ahead of time.
B．His team observe his reaction to the low-oxygen conditions.
C．The experienced guides provide him with useful suggestions.
D．He is accompanied by his parents and can turn to them for help.
20．What is the best title of the text
A．The Biggest Challenge for a Boy
B．A Boy and His Team Members
C．The Highest Mountain in the World
D．The Youngest to Climb Mount Everest
【答案】17．A 18．C 19．B 20．D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一名13岁的加州男孩成为世界上最年轻的珠穆朗玛峰登山者。
17． 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I just want to show kids can also challenge themselves by doing something impossible, and more importantly the experience will shape me into a stronger man…(我只是想告诉孩子们也可以通过做一些不可能的事情来挑战自己，更重要的是，这段经历会把我塑造成一个更坚强的人……)”可知，Romero挑战登山的初衷是把自己塑造成一个更强的男子汉。故选A。
18．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“After climbing Everest, which kills considerable climbers almost every year…(在攀登珠穆朗玛峰之后，几乎每年都会有相当多的登山者死亡……)”可知，每年都会有大量的登山者葬送于珠穆朗玛峰。因此，与文中提到的其他山相比，无疑是最危险的山。故选C。
19．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“…as long as his team pays close attention to how his body is reacting to low-oxygen conditions near the peak. (……只要他的团队密切关注他的身体对高峰附近低氧环境的反应。)”可知，只要他的团队密切关注他的身体在低氧情况下的反应，Romero将是安全的。故选B。
20．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“A 13-year-old California boy has set out for Nepal to realize his dream of becoming the youngest person to climb Mount Everest, the world’s highest mountain. (一名13岁的加州男孩启程前往尼泊尔，实现他的梦想：成为登上世界最高峰珠穆朗玛峰的最年轻的人。)”可知，文章主要讲述了世界上最年轻的珠穆朗玛峰登山者——一名13岁的加州男孩。D项：The Youngest to Climb Mount Everest (最年轻的攀登珠穆朗玛峰的人)是最好的标题。故选D。
（2024·陕西西安·二模）How to release your art potential Traditionally, people may bury themselves in learning painting skills at a studio and begin from drawing lines. However, Maggie Wiebe, a 21-year-old girl from Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan, has her own method.
Wiebe and her school friend Jessie Rice are trying to do something that shows their love for art and also benefits the environment. For the past year or so, they have tended a garden at their campus farm, planting a variety of colorful flowers, as well as flax(亚麻)to make linen and paper to be used in art.
Inspired by a group of old ladies in Canada who plant sustainable art materials and post their videos on social platform YouTube, Wiebe learned about how to plant, harvest and separate fibers. She planted different fruits and vegetables traditionally used to dye(给……染色)fabrics. She then put their peels(外皮)into boiled water and added hot pressurized air to make a dye. For her, it’s a demanding but enjoyable process.
Wiebe and Rice plan to eventually buy some land in Detroit to grow these sustainable art materials—a dye, fiber and pigment garden—“a bigger version of what we’re already doing”, Wiebe told Minnesota News. “We’d set it up like an organization where artists can volunteer a few hours a week and then use all of the plants that we grow.”
Wiebe also likes fiber-based art, such as quilting, weaving and sewing. She has applied those techniques to her recent works, displayed as part of the annual Senior Exhibition at her school. During her sophomore year, Wiebe joined the Michigan Daily as an illustrator, learning to conceptualize and complete complex illustrations on tight deadlines. Wiebe’s works received a lot of help from others. “Because the art school doesn’t have departments, we have studio coordinators who take care of each studio.” she said. “I see them every day, and they’ve helped me a lot.”
21．What can we learn about Wiebe from the first two paragraphs
A．She longed to be a gardener.
B．Her parents taught her how to plant.
C．She was fond of drawing lines.
D．She had an environmentally friendly mind.
22．What did Wiebe learn from watching videos
A．To peel fabrics skillfully. B．To get fibers eventually.
C．To grow plants traditionally. D．To dye fabric s individually.
23．Why is Detroit referred to in Paragraph 4
A．To present Wiebe’s patience.
B．To review Wiebe’s career.
C．To display Wiebe’s future prospect.
D．To promote an application of Wiebe’s idea.
24．Which of the following best describes Wiebe’s work
A．Creativity is productivity. B．Practice makes perfect.
C．Unity is strength. D．Curiosity is motivation.
【答案】21．D 22．B 23．C 24．A

（2024·河南开封·二模）Despite an ever-higher bar to grab the attention of students in large lecture hall, Tatiana Erukhimova, who teaches physics at Texas A&M University, has managed to get her students, as well as future generations, excited about the science.
Known as “Dr. Tatiana”, the professor performs physics tricks with boundless energy and enthusiasm in her videos. A range of everyday objects are used in her experiments, from pingpong balls and toilet paper to marshmallows, bicycle wheels and hair dryers. Videos of her dramatic demonstrations have received hundreds of millions of views across social media platforms.
However, things aren’t always easy. When she first started teaching college freshman classes two decades ago, she also struggled to grab the attention of her students. “I did not grab their attention on the first day-that was my mistake.” she says. “I missed this opportunity to bond with them from the very beginning, and then it took me a while to find my voice.”
By the second semester, she found her footing, adjusting her approach to get her students engaged. The key, she says, has been to make herself approachable and her instruction personal. And, of course, add showy demonstrations. “These demonstrations often help students to connect these abstract concepts with real life.” she says.
Physics department head Grigory Rogachev says Erukhimova’s work has helped bring visibility to the department, with about 2. 5 million subscribers on its department’s YouTube page, which has translated to a boost in research funds and physics major applicants.
As a leader in a STEM field in which women are underrepresented, she’s become a role model for some. Afiya Dhanani attended Texas A&M University after seeing Erukhimova’s videos online. “Watching Dr. Tatiana do the experiments online, especially since she was a female leader. Was more inspiring for me to even go into physics.” Dhanani said in an interview with CBS Mornings. That’s all Erakhimova says she can hope for -making physics less forbidding and more exciting.
25．What does Erukhimova’s online videos feature
A．Rare materials. B．Energetic presentation.
C．Plain demonstration. D．Professional explanation.
26．Which saying explains Erukhimova’s initial failure to grab students’ attention 20 years ago
A．All that glitters is not gold.
B．Sharp tools make good work.
C．First impressions are make or break.
D．A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit.
27．How does Erukhimova’s work contribute to the physics department
A．It leads more students to change their majors.
B．It makes more people to know about the department.
C．It helps the department translate more research papers.
D．It attracts more physics professors to join the department.
28．Which word best describes Erukhimova as a leader in a STEM field
A．Inspirational. B．Underestimated. C．Cooperative. D．Ambitious.

（2024·河南信阳·二模）When you picture doing a science project, you might imagine looking through a microscope or building a model volcano. But science projects can be done anywhere. Many teens get inspired from playing musical instruments to doing gymnastics. All it takes to transform your favorite activities into a science project is identifying a problem you want to solve.
Elizabeth, 14, who is in seventh grade at Davis Drive Middle School in Cary, N. C, designed a program. Her method is based on the golden ratio (比例). This ratio is often used to create pleasing parts in artworks. The ratio also appears in nature. Elizabeth’s data storage strategy helps computers write data evenly (均匀地) across memory devices. This could help such devices last longer.
“As long as I can remember, I’ve been an artistic person,” Elizabeth says, “In fourth grade, my art teacher taught us about the golden ratio. And at that point it was just, you know, something to use when we were painting.” But last year, Elizabeth had to replace the memory in her own computer, thinking the golden ratio might work in information storage, too. Elizabeth tested her golden-ratio technique by running programs on a computer.
But before this project, Elizabeth had no coding experience. To prepare, she spent months reading a textbook on how to code. She says, “It wasn’t like an ‘ah-ha’ moment. Writing programs is such a boring process. But it was just exciting to explore and see the computer actually just doing stuff that I told it to do after those hours.”
“Don’t limit yourself,” Elizabeth adds, “One of the biggest challenges you face is changing your mindset. I never thought that science or computer science would be my kind of thing, but after learning a bit about programming, I found that it was actually a new way to express myself. Words, painting, now programming.”
29．What can we learn about science projects according to this passage
A．They can come from different hobbies. B．They will inspire teens to find solutions.
C．They need skills in building models. D．They may involve great imagination.
30．What is Elizabeth’s programming used for
A．Strengthening memories. B．Storing information.
C．Creating fine works. D．Protecting nature.
31．What can we infer from the fourth paragraph
A．Imagination is the source of creation. B．Laugh it off when facing difficulties.
C．Well begun is half done. D．Every effort will pay off.
32．What is Elizabeth doing with her words in the last paragraph
A．Expressing doubts. B．Making promises.
C．Offering advice. D．Giving response.
【答案】29．A 30．B 31．D 32．C

态。我从来没有想过科学或计算机科学会是我喜欢的东西，但在学习了一些编程知识之后，我发现这实际上是一种表达自己的新方式。文字，绘画，现在是编程。”)”可知，在最后一段中伊丽莎白给读者提供建议。故选C。
（2024·四川成都·二模）Eduardo reached into his backpack, searching for his cell phone. He was scared of having to spend the spring break at Aunt Letty’s farm. Although he had protested, his parents decided that spending time on the farm would be a great experience for him. They grew up on a farm and believed that responsibility, hard work, and respect for the land were valuable lessons.
“So have you ever ridden a horse ” Aunt Letty asked, trying to turn his attention away from his phone. “Hmmm, no,” he answered. “Well, we’ve got a nice calm horse I think you’ll like. Hercules sounds like a beast, but he’s basically a gentle giant — big, but kindhearted!” she said, smiling. Eduardo glanced at his aunt, annoyed that he was expected to work. He tried to text a friend but there was no cell reception.
The next few days were busy. The crow of the roosters woke them up, and they had breakfast before dawn. Then they went out to the barn to get the feed while the animals waited to be fed. The afternoons were filled with transporting hay, cleanup, and caring for the animals. At dusk, when the farm was finally quiet, Aunt Letty stretched her arms out and inhaled (吸气), “Just take a deep breath of that sweet country air!” Eduardo, exhausted from his chores, was unable to appreciate his work.
On the third day, without warning, Aunt Letty announced, “It’s time to meet Hercules.” She led Eduardo into the stables. Aunt Letty was right. Hercules was remarkable!
Aunt Letty held her hand open for Eduardo to take. Reluctantly, he let her guide his hand toward Hercules and allowed the magnificent creature to sniff his palm. Softly, Hercules rubbed its nose and mouth against him.
“It feels like velvet (天鹅绒)!” Eduardo beamed. An hour later, Eduardo was scratching Hercules on his neck and offering him carrots.
That night, as they headed toward the house, Eduardo was inspired. His arms spreading wide, he inhaled and said, “Take a breath of that sweet country air!”
33．Why did Eduardo’s parents send him to the farm
A．To get him close to nature.
B．To better his views on life.
C．To change his attitude to Aunt Letty.
D．To keep him from using a mobile phone.

（2024·四川南充·二模）As a university professor, I have been immersed in theory and guess for so long that it recently struck me: I don’t know how to do anything. By “do”, I mean something material, something done with my hands that produce an actual product.
The trades come to mind. Whenever I call an electrician, or a mason, or a carpenter, I look on in wonder as they smoothly employ their skills. For example, I recently had a new kitchen sink nulled by a young man. He kept singing as he worked at the pipes. Minutes later, he turned on the water and it flowed forth with nothing similar to a leak. Is this not a minor miracle
All of this brought me to a decision: I registered for an adult evening course at a local technical school. The title: Basic Electricity and Wiring (线路). When we began, I felt immediately overwhelmed. So many new terms. In an instant, I was a student again in all respects: The anxiety, the self-doubt, the wondering if I had made a mistake. And then I recalled: “Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence... Education will not; the world is full of educated failures.” So I worked my way through my basic wiring course. My initial impulse to jump ship gradually gave way to the awareness that I was, indeed, acquiring a useful new skill.
What followed ahead was the course’s climax: Each student was presented with a switch and a lighting fixture (照明设备). The task was to install them-in-a-door-frame and-wire them; but not throw the switch until the instructor was present. There I was, an experienced professor, standing like a fresh-faced schoolboy. I worked away, using my tools to connect wires. When I was done, I raised my hand. The instructor looked over my job and glanced at me. “Hit the switch,” he said.
It’s hard to characterize that moment. But I did feel that learning is not something that ends early in life. I need to widen my horizon through constant learning. The broader the horizon, the more opportunities there are to learn something new.
I hit the switch.
There was light.
In more ways than one.
37．Why did the author register for an adult evening course
A．Because he met several problems in the daily life.
B．Because he wanted to learn the secret of the miracle.
C．Because he needed to strengthen his theoretical knowledge.
D．Because he desired to make actual products with his own hands.
38．What was the author’s first thought when he began his course
A．Dropping out of the evening course. B．Ignoring so many new terms.
C．Setting a goal and never giving up. D．Impressing others with his new skills.
39．Which of the following can best describe the author
A．Responsible and sharp-eyed. B．Determined and self-motivated.
C．Creative and well-informed. D．Considerate and widely-interested.
40．What does the story intend to tell us
A．There is no end to learning. B．One good turn deserves another.
C．Actions speak louder than words. D．A fall in a pit, a gain in your wit.
【答案】37．D 38．A 39．B 40．A

（2024·辽宁·二模）Emma Stone was seven years old when she experienced her first panic attack: She was just sitting at a friend’s house, and all of a sudden the house was on fire. Stone remembers her chest started to tighten. She phoned her mother, who didn’t understand what was happening, but came to pick her up anyway. Stone says her fear eventually disappeared that day, but the anxiety still existed.
Stone had massive separation anxiety from her mother. That was a large part, she thinks, of what was setting off her anxiety. But going to school meant that she would have to be away from her mother for hours in the day. “I started to receive treatment around age eight, because it was getting really hard for me to leave the house to go to school,” she says.
Despite her anxiety—or maybe because of it—Stone began acting when she was 11; by age 15, she had convinced her parents to move from Arizona to Los Angeles so she could go on auditions (试镜). Stone found that acting was a way to remain in the present moment, without worrying about the past or the future. Plus, she adds, “As an actor, all of my big feelings are productive.”
Stone won the Academy Award in 2017 for her performance in the movie musical La La Land, and was nominated (提名) for Oscars for her performances in Birdman and The Favourite. She has been nominated again this
year for her starring role in Poor Things.
In Poor Things, which Stone both starred in and produced, she plays Bella, a woman who has nearly died by killing herself and then is brought back to life by a strange surgeon. After that, Bella has the brain of a baby and the body of a grown woman. When her brain develops into a young adult brain, Bella leaves the surgeon to go on an adventure with a man who has become crazy about her.
Stone says, “Anxiety is like rocket fuel because I can’t help but get out of bed and do things. That’s really a gift.”

（2024·四川泸州·二模）When young urban couples get married, they usually hire a fleet of about 10 cars to send them and their family to the wedding venue. But one newlywed (新婚的) couple in Dalian, Liaoning province chose another way-to rent a public bus instead.
Looking back on their wedding day, the bride, Yang Le’er, says she still feels joyful about the bus experience, which has added special meaning to the ceremony.
“I don’t like taking the usual path. With a car fleet, the bride and groom sit in the first car, while everyone else is scattered in different cars, which isn’t very exciting. So I contacted the Dalian Bus Group in advance, and they agreed,” Yang says.
On their wedding day, a red electric bus-decorated with a giant caricature (人物漫画) of the couple, a large rose pattern, and the words “We’re getting married”-carried the bride and groom, the groomsmen and bridesmaids, and Yang’s parents, who had flown in from Wenzhou, to a hotel.
“Everyone being together on one bus made the joy double. We played festive music along the way, and friends sang along. The atmosphere was so happy. Even though my parents didn’t sing, they were drawn in by the atmosphere and didn’t show the traditional sadness of a daughter’s marriage,” Yang recalls.
On the road, they drew a lot of attention. Pedestrians took out their phones to take pictures and waved at them.
“Whenever I think about it, it still warms my heart,” Yang says.
She says this wedding idea has received positive feedback from their family and friends. Some friends said they would also rent a bus for their own weddings.
45．Why did the couple use a bus as a wedding car
A．To save more money. B．To attract more viewers.
C．To try something unusual. D．To advertise a new business.
46．What is the meaning of “scattered” underlined in Paragraph 3
A．Crowded. B．Separated. C．Trapped. D．Occupied.
47．How did the bus company manage to help with the couple’s wedding
A．They offered some extra services.
B．They gave away a red electric bus.

物漫画) of the couple, a large rose pattern, and the words “We’re getting married”-carried the bride and groom, the groomsmen and bridesmaids, and Yang’s parents, who had flown in from Wenzhou, to a hotel.(婚礼当天，一辆红色的电动公交车载着新娘和新郎、伴郎和伴娘，以及从温州飞来的杨的父母，公交车上装饰着这对新人的巨大漫画、一朵大玫瑰图案和“我们要结婚了”的字样)”以及常识可知，常规的公交车上不会装饰新人的巨大漫画、一朵大玫瑰图案和“我们要结婚了”的字样，可推知，公交车公司帮助新人提供了一些额外的服务。故选A。
48．推理判断题。根据第一段“When young urban couples get married, they usually hire a fleet of about 10 cars to send them and their family to the wedding venue. But one newlywed (新婚的) couple in Dalian, Liaoning province chose another way-to rent a public bus instead.(当年轻的城市新人结婚时，他们通常会雇佣大约10辆汽车将他们和家人送到婚礼场地。但辽宁省大连市的一对新婚夫妇选择了另一种方式——租用公交车)”以及最后一段“She says this wedding idea has received positive feedback from their family and friends. Some friends said they would also rent a bus for their own weddings.(她说，他们的家人和朋友对这个婚礼的想法给予了积极的反馈。一些朋友说他们也会为自己的婚礼租一辆公交车)”可知，这场婚礼使用公交车作为婚车，是很有创造力的，并且可能会使得一些朋友也这样做，婚礼是有影响力的。故选C。
（2024·四川南充·二模）Linda Brown, a real estate agent, believes that when it comes to solving homelessness, it takes a village. She spent nine years supporting homeless people in Springfield, Missouri, through a charitable organization called The Gathering Tree, which welcomed people a few times each week during daylight hours, providing a safe and welcoming place for them to take showers, socialize, or simply rest. But they had to close their doors for the night. “One cold winter night, I watched as my friends walked off into the darkness to a wet, cold camp, while we went home to a warm bed,” Linda said, “I realized I had to do something.”
She had an idea to create a village of tiny houses to make sure no one slept outside on her watch! Linda started fundraising. She began by appealing to her fellow estate agents in the area before branching out into local businesses.
Using these donations, Linda purchased a nearby abandoned area that already had the infrastructure in place. By February 2019, they’d built 31 tiny homes for their Eden Village and found residents for each one. All the residents must be good neighbors in order to stay in the village, and they certainly are! Linda was happy when she learned that the village actually increased local property values rather than lowering them as some people had feared.
Linda hasn’t stopped working since Eden Village began. A second village opened in the fall of 2020, and there’s a third location in the works as well! She hopes to have five villages across Springfield within the next five years, helping more than 200 homeless people get off the streets and into a new life.
To this day, Linda firmly believes that there are a million reasons someone can become homeless, but each of
them can be solved with love and community involvement.
49．What does The Gathering Tree do for the homeless
A．It raises money for them. B．It builds tiny houses for them.
C．It helps them find warm camps. D．It provides them with day shelters.
50．What did some people fear
A．Their own homes would be lost .
B．Their jobs would be taken over .
C．Their safety would be seriously threatened.
D．Their local property values would be lowered.
51．What does Linda expect to do
A．Help homeless people find work.
B．Reach out to more homeless people.
C．Build more infrastructure at Eden Village.
D．Get homeless people involved in building Eden Village.
52．Which of the following can best describe Linda

（2024·黑龙江·二模）I’ve worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every summer since I graduated from high school. But making the transition between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier. For a student like me who considers any class before noon to be uncivilized, getting to a factory by 6 o’clock each morning is a kind of suffering. My friends never seem to understand why I’m so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation.
There are few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world. People of my age always seem to overestimate(高估)the value of their time and knowledge. In fact, all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant, which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down.
The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear overnight. Issues like downsizing(裁员)and overseas relocation(重新安置)had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico, where people would work
for 60 cents an hour.
After working 12-hour shifts in a factory, the other options have become only too clear. When I’m back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy re-writes seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school. All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of education that used to sound boring now ring true.
These lessons I’m learning, however precious, are always accompauied by a sense of guilt. Many people pass their lives in the places I briefly work, spending 30 years where I spend only two months at a time. “This job pays well, but it’s a kind of physical suffering,” said one co-worker. “Study hard and keep reading,” she added.
My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good.
1．How does the author feel after his summer vacation

（2024·湖南岳阳·二模）There comes a time when the old must give way to the new, and it is not possible to preserve everything from our past as we move towards the future. Finding and keeping the right balance between progress and the protection of cultural sites can be a big challenge.
Big challenges, however, can sometimes lead to great solutions. In the 1950s, the Egyptian government wanted to build a new dam across the Nile in order to control floods, produce electricity, and supply water to more farmers in the area. But the proposal led to protests. Water from the dam would likely damage a number of temples and destroy cultural relics that were an important part of Egypt’s cultural heritage. After listening to different voices, the government turned to the United Nations for help in 1959.
A committee was established to limit damage to the Egyptian buildings and prevent the loss of cultural relics. The group asked for contributions from different departments and raised funds within the international community. Experts investigated the issue, conducted several tests, and then made a proposal for how the buildings could be saved. Finally, a document was signed, and the work began in 1960.
The project brought together governments and environmentalists from around the world. Temples and other cultural sites were taken down piece by piece, and then moved and put back together again in a place where they were safe from the water. In1961, German engineers moved the first temple. Over the next 20 years, thousands of engineers and workers rescued 22 temples and countless cultural relics. Fifty countries donated nearly $80 million to the project. When the project ended in 1980, it was considered a great success. Not only had the countries found a path to the future that did not run over the relics of the past, but they had also learnt that it was possible for countries to work together to build a better tomorrow.
The spirit of the Aswan Dam project is still alive today. If a problem seems too difficult for a single nation, the global community can sometimes provide a solution.
5．What was the major concern regarding the construction of the new dam
A．The damage to local farms.
B．The high cost of the construction.
C．The disapproval of local communities.
D．The potential harm to cultural remains.
6．How were the cultural sites rescued
A．By rebuilding similar cultural sites.
B．By building fences around them.
C．By taking them down into pieces.
D．By removing and piecing them together again.
7．Which of the following best describes the Aswan Dam project
A．International cooperation is not necessary for large-scale projects.
B．It is possible to achieve progress without sacrificing cultural heritage.
C．The opinions of experts should be ignored in favor of popular opinion.
D．Countries should always prioritize their own interests over global concerns.
8．What is the key to the success of the Aswan Dam project
A．Trial and error. B．Adequate investment.
C．Global cooperation. D．Careful investigation.
（2024·湖南·二模）I was sitting in between my parents on a 15-hour flight from Toronto to Seoul, where I was going to negotiate a book project. My Airbnb had enough room for us all. So when my parents brought it up as a half-joke that they would come, too, I didn’t think it was unreasonable.
I was merely 8 when we embarked on our immigration journey. Korea was their country. They wouldn’t need me there as they did in Canada. But the first week proved to be rough. We were upside down with the time change. My father announced that the first thing they wanted to do was visit my grandma’s grave (坟墓). We had discussed visiting a few relatives, but going to grandma’s grave had never come up. It was starting: family obligations seized my work time. “You guys go,” I said. While my father showered, my mother took me aside. “Your dad has always been counting the days for the moment when he can show her how well you grew up.” I laughed but I was deeply moved. So I decided to accompany them.
As we approached the graveyard, I gathered some colored wildflowers from the parking lot and tied them with a long piece of grass. My parents got busy weeding around the headstone. ”Your name is on the back, my father said. “See here ” I looked, and there was my Korean name carved beside those of my siblings and cousins. It felt odd to see our names on the headstone all of us, the living and dead, connected. I saw a link in a chain that stretches generations back.
I didn’t know how to tell them that the trip was amazing. I realized how I was intertwined with them, and they were interwoven into me. We don’t belong to languages or countries. My grandma died only four months before we moved to Canada, when she was too frail (虚弱的) to make the trip. I hope she knows that we did take her, and that maybe all we have is each other.

（2024·湖南衡阳·二模）Omar Vazquez grew up in poverty on Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula. He watched his single mother struggle to put food on the table, and today the memory inspires him to help those in need. When an invasive (入侵的) seaweed called sargassum showed up on Mexico’s Caribbean beaches, Omar looked past the matter of it all and saw an opportunity to help others.
Sargassum is not dangerous, but it has an unpleasant smell and can become so thick that it keeps people from entering the water. Mexico has experienced record-setting amounts of the seaweed in recent years, and it has made its way to Florida’s beaches as well. Experts say there could be as much as 100 tons of sargassum blocking Mexican shorelines in 2023.
With tourism dollars at risk, officials and locals alike were eager to remove the seaweed, but only Omar saw its true potential. The professional gardener organized a beach cleanup that provided jobs for about 300 local families, but he knew there was more to do. Since people’s attitude towards the seaweed reminded him of his own life experiences, he decided to become an agent (推动者) for change.
When sargassum started arriving, everyone was complaining. “I wanted to make something good out of something everyone saw as bad,” Omar explained.
In 2018, Omar found a way to turn sargassum into building blocks that he calls Sargablock. He creates these blocks by mixing 40% sargassum with other materials like clay, then putting them in a block-forming machine and baking them in the sun for days. The end result is an organic, sustainable, and ecologically friendly building material that experts say could last for 120 years.
To date, Omar’s company, Bluegreen Mexico, has used 700 tons of sargassum to build low-income housing for those in need. Omar said he would take on more projects, and donate more houses to single mothers like his own mom.
13．What can be learned from paragraph 1
A．Omar’s family often assisted people in need.
B．Sargassum originated on the Caribbean beaches.
C．Omar’s experience in childhood has influenced him much.
D．Omar has met a lot of generous people since he was young.
14．How did most people react to the increasing sargassum
A．They didn’t take it seriously. B．They were anxious to clear it up.
C．They viewed it as new materials. D．They were excited to see a grand scene.
15．Which words can best describe Omar
A．Honest and ambitious. B．Strong-willed and confident.
C．Quick-thinking and humorous. D．Sympathetic and innovative.
16．What does the author mainly want to tell us through Omar’s success

C．Solutions can be obtained from problems. D．Heroes arise from humble beginnings.
（2024·山西·二模）A 13-year-old California boy has set out for Nepal to realize his dream of becoming the youngest person to climb Mount Everest, the world’s highest mountain. Jordan Romero aims to reach the summits (顶峰) of the highest peaks on all seven continents. The idea came to the teenager in 2005 when he was 9 and saw a school poster of the seven summits.
“I just want to show kids can also challenge themselves by doing something impossible, and more importantly the experience will shape me into a stronger man without worrying about the unknown future, Romero said in a post on a website named after him.
Romero, a native of Big Bear Lake in San Bernardino County, stopped to visit friends near Los Angeles on Monday before boarding a flight bound for Hong Kong. He and his team members are expected to arrive in Asia on Tuesday. They will continue toward Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, and from there set off for the Nepalese-Chinese border where the Himalayas are located.
Mainly with the assistance and support of his parents, Romero already has climbed five of the mountains on his list, including Alaska’s Mount McKinley. Besides, with the aid of his team members who had worked out a detailed plan, he became the youngest climber of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak at 5, 895 meters, at the age of 10.
After climbing Everest, which kills considerable climbers almost every year, Romero is to head to Antarctica this winter in an attempt to conquer Mount Vinson and complete his seven-summit project by the end of the year. But, his friends are all thinking that there is no need for him to do something irrelevant to school work.
Guides who have experience with Everest say Romero probably will be safe, as long as his team pay close attention to how his body is reacting to low-oxygen conditions near the peak. The current record holder for the
youngest to climb Everest is Temba Tsheri of Nepal who was 16 and lost five fingers during his 2001 ascent (登高) due to frostbite (冻伤).

（2024·陕西西安·二模）How to release your art potential Traditionally, people may bury themselves in learning painting skills at a studio and begin from drawing lines. However, Maggie Wiebe, a 21-year-old girl from Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan, has her own method.
Wiebe and her school friend Jessie Rice are trying to do something that shows their love for art and also benefits the environment. For the past year or so, they have tended a garden at their campus farm, planting a variety of colorful flowers, as well as flax(亚麻)to make linen and paper to be used in art.
Inspired by a group of old ladies in Canada who plant sustainable art materials and post their videos on social platform YouTube, Wiebe learned about how to plant, harvest and separate fibers. She planted different fruits and vegetables traditionally used to dye(给……染色)fabrics. She then put their peels(外皮)into boiled water and added hot pressurized air to make a dye. For her, it’s a demanding but enjoyable process.
Wiebe and Rice plan to eventually buy some land in Detroit to grow these sustainable art materials—a dye, fiber and pigment garden—“a bigger version of what we’re already doing”, Wiebe told Minnesota News. “We’d set it up like an organization where artists can volunteer a few hours a week and then use all of the plants that we grow.”
Wiebe also likes fiber-based art, such as quilting, weaving and sewing. She has applied those techniques to her recent works, displayed as part of the annual Senior Exhibition at her school. During her sophomore year, Wiebe joined the Michigan Daily as an illustrator, learning to conceptualize and complete complex illustrations on tight deadlines. Wiebe’s works received a lot of help from others. “Because the art school doesn’t have departments, we have studio coordinators who take care of each studio.” she said. “I see them every day, and they’ve helped me a lot.”
21．What can we learn about Wiebe from the first two paragraphs
A．She longed to be a gardener.
B．Her parents taught her how to plant.
C．She was fond of drawing lines.
D．She had an environmentally friendly mind.
22．What did Wiebe learn from watching videos
A．To peel fabrics skillfully. B．To get fibers eventually.
C．To grow plants traditionally. D．To dye fabric s individually.
23．Why is Detroit referred to in Paragraph 4
A．To present Wiebe’s patience.
B．To review Wiebe’s career.
C．To display Wiebe’s future prospect.
D．To promote an application of Wiebe’s idea.
24．Which of the following best describes Wiebe’s work
A．Creativity is productivity. B．Practice makes perfect.
C．Unity is strength. D．Curiosity is motivation.
（2024·河南开封·二模）Despite an ever-higher bar to grab the attention of students in large lecture hall, Tatiana Erukhimova, who teaches physics at Texas A&M University, has managed to get her students, as well as future generations, excited about the science.
Known as “Dr. Tatiana”, the professor performs physics tricks with boundless energy and enthusiasm in her videos. A range of everyday objects are used in her experiments, from pingpong balls and toilet paper to
marshmallows, bicycle wheels and hair dryers. Videos of her dramatic demonstrations have received hundreds of millions of views across social media platforms.
However, things aren’t always easy. When she first started teaching college freshman classes two decades ago, she also struggled to grab the attention of her students. “I did not grab their attention on the first day-that was my mistake.” she says. “I missed this opportunity to bond with them from the very beginning, and then it took me a while to find my voice.”
By the second semester, she found her footing, adjusting her approach to get her students engaged. The key, she says, has been to make herself approachable and her instruction personal. And, of course, add showy demonstrations. “These demonstrations often help students to connect these abstract concepts with real life.” she says.
Physics department head Grigory Rogachev says Erukhimova’s work has helped bring visibility to the department, with about 2. 5 million subscribers on its department’s YouTube page, which has translated to a boost in research funds and physics major applicants.
As a leader in a STEM field in which women are underrepresented, she’s become a role model for some. Afiya Dhanani attended Texas A&M University after seeing Erukhimova’s videos online. “Watching Dr. Tatiana do the experiments online, especially since she was a female leader. Was more inspiring for me to even go into physics.” Dhanani said in an interview with CBS Mornings. That’s all Erakhimova says she can hope for -making physics less forbidding and more exciting.
25．What does Erukhimova’s online videos feature
A．Rare materials. B．Energetic presentation.
C．Plain demonstration. D．Professional explanation.
26．Which saying explains Erukhimova’s initial failure to grab students’ attention 20 years ago
A．All that glitters is not gold.
B．Sharp tools make good work.
C．First impressions are make or break.
D．A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit.
27．How does Erukhimova’s work contribute to the physics department
A．It leads more students to change their majors.
B．It makes more people to know about the department.
C．It helps the department translate more research papers.
D．It attracts more physics professors to join the department.
28．Which word best describes Erukhimova as a leader in a STEM field
A．Inspirational. B．Underestimated. C．Cooperative. D．Ambitious.
（2024·河南信阳·二模）When you picture doing a science project, you might imagine looking through a microscope or building a model volcano. But science projects can be done anywhere. Many teens get inspired from playing musical instruments to doing gymnastics. All it takes to transform your favorite activities into a science project is identifying a problem you want to solve.
Elizabeth, 14, who is in seventh grade at Davis Drive Middle School in Cary, N. C, designed a program. Her method is based on the golden ratio (比例). This ratio is often used to create pleasing parts in artworks. The ratio also appears in nature. Elizabeth’s data storage strategy helps computers write data evenly (均匀地) across memory devices. This could help such devices last longer.
“As long as I can remember, I’ve been an artistic person,” Elizabeth says, “In fourth grade, my art teacher taught us about the golden ratio. And at that point it was just, you know, something to use when we were painting.” But last year, Elizabeth had to replace the memory in her own computer, thinking the golden ratio might work in information storage, too. Elizabeth tested her golden-ratio technique by running programs on a computer.
But before this project, Elizabeth had no coding experience. To prepare, she spent months reading a textbook on how to code. She says, “It wasn’t like an ‘ah-ha’ moment. Writing programs is such a boring process. But it was just exciting to explore and see the computer actually just doing stuff that I told it to do after those hours.”
“Don’t limit yourself,” Elizabeth adds, “One of the biggest challenges you face is changing your mindset. I never thought that science or computer science would be my kind of thing, but after learning a bit about programming, I found that it was actually a new way to express myself. Words, painting, now programming.”
29．What can we learn about science projects according to this passage
A．They can come from different hobbies. B．They will inspire teens to find solutions.
C．They need skills in building models. D．They may involve great imagination.
30．What is Elizabeth’s programming used for
A．Strengthening memories. B．Storing information.
C．Creating fine works. D．Protecting nature.
31．What can we infer from the fourth paragraph
A．Imagination is the source of creation. B．Laugh it off when facing difficulties.
C．Well begun is half done. D．Every effort will pay off.
32．What is Elizabeth doing with her words in the last paragraph
A．Expressing doubts. B．Making promises.
C．Offering advice. D．Giving response.
（2024·四川成都·二模）Eduardo reached into his backpack, searching for his cell phone. He was scared of having to spend the spring break at Aunt Letty’s farm. Although he had protested, his parents decided that spending time on the farm would be a great experience for him. They grew up on a farm and believed that responsibility, hard work, and respect for the land were valuable lessons.
“So have you ever ridden a horse ” Aunt Letty asked, trying to turn his attention away from his phone. “Hmmm, no,” he answered. “Well, we’ve got a nice calm horse I think you’ll like. Hercules sounds like a beast, but he’s basically a gentle giant — big, but kindhearted!” she said, smiling. Eduardo glanced at his aunt, annoyed that he was expected to work. He tried to text a friend but there was no cell reception.
The next few days were busy. The crow of the roosters woke them up, and they had breakfast before dawn. Then they went out to the barn to get the feed while the animals waited to be fed. The afternoons were filled with transporting hay, cleanup, and caring for the animals. At dusk, when the farm was finally quiet, Aunt Letty stretched her arms out and inhaled (吸气), “Just take a deep breath of that sweet country air!” Eduardo, exhausted from his chores, was unable to appreciate his work.
On the third day, without warning, Aunt Letty announced, “It’s time to meet Hercules.” She led Eduardo into the stables. Aunt Letty was right. Hercules was remarkable!
Aunt Letty held her hand open for Eduardo to take. Reluctantly, he let her guide his hand toward Hercules and allowed the magnificent creature to sniff his palm. Softly, Hercules rubbed its nose and mouth against him.
“It feels like velvet (天鹅绒)!” Eduardo beamed. An hour later, Eduardo was scratching Hercules on his neck and offering him carrots.
That night, as they headed toward the house, Eduardo was inspired. His arms spreading wide, he inhaled and said, “Take a breath of that sweet country air!”
33．Why did Eduardo’s parents send him to the farm
A．To get him close to nature.
B．To better his views on life.
C．To change his attitude to Aunt Letty.

（2024·四川南充·二模）As a university professor, I have been immersed in theory and guess for so long that it recently struck me: I don’t know how to do anything. By “do”, I mean something material, something done with my hands that produce an actual product.
The trades come to mind. Whenever I call an electrician, or a mason, or a carpenter, I look on in wonder as they smoothly employ their skills. For example, I recently had a new kitchen sink nulled by a young man. He kept singing as he worked at the pipes. Minutes later, he turned on the water and it flowed forth with nothing similar to a leak. Is this not a minor miracle
All of this brought me to a decision: I registered for an adult evening course at a local technical school. The title: Basic Electricity and Wiring (线路). When we began, I felt immediately overwhelmed. So many new terms. In an instant, I was a student again in all respects: The anxiety, the self-doubt, the wondering if I had made a mistake. And then I recalled: “Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence... Education will not; the world is full of educated failures.” So I worked my way through my basic wiring course. My initial impulse to jump ship gradually gave way to the awareness that I was, indeed, acquiring a useful new skill.
What followed ahead was the course’s climax: Each student was presented with a switch and a lighting fixture (照明设备). The task was to install them-in-a-door-frame and-wire them; but not throw the switch until the instructor was present. There I was, an experienced professor, standing like a fresh-faced schoolboy. I worked away, using my tools to connect wires. When I was done, I raised my hand. The instructor looked over my job and glanced at me. “Hit the switch,” he said.
It’s hard to characterize that moment. But I did feel that learning is not something that ends early in life. I need to widen my horizon through constant learning. The broader the horizon, the more opportunities there are to learn something new.
I hit the switch.
There was light.
In more ways than one.

（2024·辽宁·二模）Emma Stone was seven years old when she experienced her first panic attack: She was just sitting at a friend’s house, and all of a sudden the house was on fire. Stone remembers her chest started to tighten. She phoned her mother, who didn’t understand what was happening, but came to pick her up anyway. Stone says her fear eventually disappeared that day, but the anxiety still existed.
Stone had massive separation anxiety from her mother. That was a large part, she thinks, of what was setting off her anxiety. But going to school meant that she would have to be away from her mother for hours in the day. “I started to receive treatment around age eight, because it was getting really hard for me to leave the house to go to school,” she says.
Despite her anxiety—or maybe because of it—Stone began acting when she was 11; by age 15, she had convinced her parents to move from Arizona to Los Angeles so she could go on auditions (试镜). Stone found that acting was a way to remain in the present moment, without worrying about the past or the future. Plus, she adds, “As an actor, all of my big feelings are productive.”
Stone won the Academy Award in 2017 for her performance in the movie musical La La Land, and was nominated (提名) for Oscars for her performances in Birdman and The Favourite. She has been nominated again this
year for her starring role in Poor Things.
In Poor Things, which Stone both starred in and produced, she plays Bella, a woman who has nearly died by killing herself and then is brought back to life by a strange surgeon. After that, Bella has the brain of a baby and the body of a grown woman. When her brain develops into a young adult brain, Bella leaves the surgeon to go on an adventure with a man who has become crazy about her.
Stone says, “Anxiety is like rocket fuel because I can’t help but get out of bed and do things. That’s really a gift.”

（2024·四川泸州·二模）When young urban couples get married, they usually hire a fleet of about 10 cars to send them and their family to the wedding venue. But one newlywed (新婚的) couple in Dalian, Liaoning province chose another way-to rent a public bus instead.
Looking back on their wedding day, the bride, Yang Le’er, says she still feels joyful about the bus experience, which has added special meaning to the ceremony.
“I don’t like taking the usual path. With a car fleet, the bride and groom sit in the first car, while everyone else is scattered in different cars, which isn’t very exciting. So I contacted the Dalian Bus Group in advance, and they agreed,” Yang says.
On their wedding day, a red electric bus-decorated with a giant caricature (人物漫画) of the couple, a large rose pattern, and the words “We’re getting married”-carried the bride and groom, the groomsmen and bridesmaids, and Yang’s parents, who had flown in from Wenzhou, to a hotel.
“Everyone being together on one bus made the joy double. We played festive music along the way, and friends sang along. The atmosphere was so happy. Even though my parents didn’t sing, they were drawn in by the atmosphere and didn’t show the traditional sadness of a daughter’s marriage,” Yang recalls.
On the road, they drew a lot of attention. Pedestrians took out their phones to take pictures and waved at them.
“Whenever I think about it, it still warms my heart,” Yang says.
She says this wedding idea has received positive feedback from their family and friends. Some friends said they would also rent a bus for their own weddings.

（2024·四川南充·二模）Linda Brown, a real estate agent, believes that when it comes to solving homelessness, it takes a village. She spent nine years supporting homeless people in Springfield, Missouri, through a charitable organization called The Gathering Tree, which welcomed people a few times each week during daylight hours, providing a safe and welcoming place for them to take showers, socialize, or simply rest. But they had to close their doors for the night. “One cold winter night, I watched as my friends walked off into the darkness to a wet, cold camp, while we went home to a warm bed,” Linda said, “I realized I had to do something.”
She had an idea to create a village of tiny houses to make sure no one slept outside on her watch! Linda started fundraising. She began by appealing to her fellow estate agents in the area before branching out into local businesses.
Using these donations, Linda purchased a nearby abandoned area that already had the infrastructure in place. By
February 2019, they’d built 31 tiny homes for their Eden Village and found residents for each one. All the residents must be good neighbors in order to stay in the village, and they certainly are! Linda was happy when she learned that the village actually increased local property values rather than lowering them as some people had feared.
Linda hasn’t stopped working since Eden Village began. A second village opened in the fall of 2020, and there’s a third location in the works as well! She hopes to have five villages across Springfield within the next five years, helping more than 200 homeless people get off the streets and into a new life.

（2024·湖北·二模）Every morning on the island of Oahu, students at Pu’ hala Elementary gather on a field as towering mountains watch them from the mist. Their day starts with songs in ‘ lelo Hawai’i, the islands’ native language, restating values of respect and justice that their teachers hope will guide them through their education, and throughout their lives.
Like most kids their age, they’re not concerned about the significance of the language they’re learning. Still, they have a weighty responsibility: to receive the torch (火炬) and ensure the security of ‘ lelo Hawai’ i for future
generations.
It was only 50 years ago that the language was on the edge of extinction. Though the situation is much improved, in many ways ‘ lelo Hawai’ i is still on life support.

In 2016, there were 18, 610 Hawaiian speakers on the islands.
“One hundred thousand is the approximate number of speakers needed to consider the language safe, ” says Solomon, professor of Hawaiian language at University of Hawai’i at Manoa. “The idea is that there are enough people passing it on to the next generation, socializing their children to use the language in all domains of life, to express all thoughts and needs and desires. ”
Fortunately, the kids of Pu’ hala Elementary will take the responsibility to continue the work of the current young adults defending the language, expanding access to ‘ lelo Hawai’i in part through TikTok and Instagram, and making the language a practical skill in adulthood. These youth, along with those committed to recovering the language from previous generations, share their hopes for the better.

（2024·湖南·二模）After over a decade of faithful service my old desktop computer finally died. It simply wouldn’t start. With no computer repair places open my daughter talked me into purchasing a new laptop to replace it. What followed was two days of pure frustration. It was like going from driving an old Model T Ford to flying the Space Shuttle.
After my daughter set it up, I looked for the old e-mail program I used to use, only to find that it wasn’t on this
model. When I tried to download the older version again it wouldn’t work. I also had a terrible time downloading my old word processing program again. Then there were some difficulties of transferring all of my old stories that I had saved on a jump drive. The laptop computer’s fancy new programs were an icon minefield that I had to navigate. Each time I accidentally touched one of them it changed everything on my screen and I had to work hard to figure out how to change them back. In the end I had screwed up the settings so badly that I asked my daughter to do a reset so we could start over. Finally after two days I think we have set up the new computer to do the few simple things I need it to do so I can ignore the thousand other functions that I have no use for. I only hope it will work as long and faithfully as my old desktop did.
One thing I did learn from all of this is that when it comes to computers and life I want to keep things simple, simple, simple. Life is simple. Love is simple. It is we who make things complicated. Take some time today then to turn off your electronics and turn on your heart. Be a person, not a program. Be yourself, not your “Selfie”.

（2024·四川成都·二模）My passion for the field of dietetics (营养学) started at a very young age. Ever since I
can remember, I have been dreaming of becoming a pastry chef.
I grew up being part of various sports teams. As I grew older, I noticed how food influenced my performance as an athlete. I started reading more about nutrition and signed up for an introductory nutrition course during my first year of college.
However, I noticed when I entered my dietetics classes, that I looked quite different from most students. I was the only ethnically diverse student in my classes.
My mom was born in Austria and my father in Iran. They met in Austria and moved to the US. before my brother and I were born. They exposed us to their own traditional cultural foods, and I grew up eating a fusion of Iranian and Austrian dishes.
I remember never having a taste for school cafeteria food, so I always requested my mom pack me lunch. She would pack me leftovers from dinner, such as a kuku sabzi, a Persian egg and herb frittata, or schnitzel with dartoffelsalat, a customary Austrian dish of fried breaded chicken. At times, I felt embarrassed about my meals, and would hide these from my peers to avoid the horrible question of, “Ew, what is that ” However, over time, and once I became a qualified RD (注册营养师), I realized my unique background allowed me to connect more deeply with others from different cultures.
I encouraged my clients (客户) to share what they grew up eating and what foods were customary to their unique upbringing. I developed nutrition recommendations for my clients that included traditional staples from their heritage culture. These experiences and my dual heritage background empowered me to encourage my clients and other RDs to proudly share their unique cultural foods, to stop feeling embarrassed, but instead embrace our differences and increase cultural awareness in the field of dietetics.
