In 2019, after retiring from her career as a social worker, Ane Freed - Kernis decided to build a home workshop and devote all of her free time to stone carving. “I might be covered head to to e in dust but I’m happy — it was something I needed more of in my life when I hit 60,” she says.
This appeal has its origins in Freed - Kernis’ childhood. Growing up on her father’s farm in Denmark, she used to wander through the fields with her eyes fixed on the ground, looking for stones to add to her collection. “I’ve always been drawn to the shapes and textures(质地) of stones,” she says.
After moving to England in 1977 and training as a social worker, Freed - Kernis soon became occupied with her busy career and the demands of raising her son. Stones were the last thing on her mind, until her father died in 2005. “He took a stone carving course in his retirement, and I always thought stone seemed so fun but never had the time to look into it myself,” she says. “After he died, I became determined to learn in his honour.”
Signing up for a week-long stone carving course at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Freed - Kernis began to learn how to turn a block of rock into well-designed shapes. “It was really scary at the start because you would spend hours just hammering(锤打).”
Now 65, Freed - Kernis has a thriving small business built largely through word of mouth. She creates 12 to 15 pieces a year that can take anywhere from a few days to three weeks to complete, while her prices range from 200 to 3,000. “I’m making smaller ones,” she says. “I don’t have to depend on the money much, so I want to keep prices in the range that people can afford, mainly just covering costs and labour(劳动力).”
24. Freed-Kernis was first attracted by stones when ______.
A. she was 60 B. she was a child
C. her father died D. she moved to England
25. What can we infer about Freed-Kernis from paragraph 3
A. She never cared about her father.
B. She led a disappointing life in Denmark.
C. She spent lots of time studying stone carving.
D. She learned stone carving under the influence of her dad.
26. How did Freed-Kernis feel when she started stone carving course
A. Hopeful and proud.
B. Confident and satisfied.
C. Nervous and frightened.
D. Impatient and unprepared.
27. Why is Freed-Kernis making smaller pieces
A. They are easier to move by her.
B. They are more affordable to people.
C. She wants to save costs and labour.
D. She is too old to focus on making large ones.

In San Francisco, a large group of sea lions move themselves out of the bay waters and hang out on PIER 39, which is a popular tourist destination. According to dock (码头)officials, this is the most sea lions seen in the region in 15 years.
“Over 1,000 sea lions have been counted this week,” PIER 39 harbormaster Sheila Chandor told many different media. “The surge in sea lions is usually a good sign of their strong population and healthy living environment,” said Adam Ratner, Director of Conservation Engagement at the Marine Mammal(海洋哺乳动物) Center in Sausalito, California.
“California sea lions are sentinels(哨兵) of the ocean,” Ratner said. Their population to some extent reflects the health of the ocean. Therefore, seeing a large number of California sea lions is clearly a good thing.
For nearly 35 years, the slippery(滑的) residents have been a star attraction for tourists. That autumn in 1989, PIER 39 had just been repaired, but the ships had not yet been moved back. At that moment, the sea lions unexpected arrival not only attracted fans but also created enemies. According to a website, some dock residents and workers were scared away by the strong and very unpleasant smell and noise of their new neighbors, while others saw these animals as a bright spot after the destructive Loma Prieta earthquake.
The officials sought help from the Marine Mammal Center to find a way to deal with sea lions. Ratner said that the final decision is to let the sea lions stay and coexist with humans. “The fact proves that this is really a good thing,” he said. “This is just a proof of how we can truly work together and think about how we can share our coasts with marine mammals and other wildlife in a way that benefits all the parties involved.”
28 How does the author start the text
A. By describing a situation.
B. By answering a question.
C. By holding a conversation.
D. By comparing different opinions.
29. What does the underlined word “surge” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Sharp increase. B. Tight control.
C. Slow development. D. Sudden movement.
30. What is Ratner’s attitude to the final decision
A. Doubtful. B. Uninterested.
C. Supportive. D. Unclear.
31. What message does the author seem to convey in the text
A. Sea lions are pretty cool animals.
B. Animals and humans can live in harmony.
C. Watching sea lions might not be a proper action.
D. Sea lions should be driven out of PIER 39.
D
At some point something will have to be done about the stuffed toys (毛绒玩具). I haven’t counted them because, truthfully, I’m not prepared to know how many there are. Lately, our neighborhood’s message boards are filled with posts about parents trying to make space, to clear out the things their kids no longer need. The tone of some of these posts can best be described as “emergency”. “Help!” they sometimes begin. “I have to get this out of my house.”
“The proliferation (激增) of children’s toys is the outcome of a long, gradual cultural change,”says Gary Cross, a professor at Pennsylvania State University. To understand how we got here — drowning (淹没于) in all those stuffed toys and bricks — it helps to look as far back as the late 19th century. “Parents were no longer passing their jobs on to the children,” Cross says. “Instead, they connect across generations through the gifting process. From the early 20th century on, goods became the things that define relationships between family members, and the way of marking success as a family.”
Then, how can parents deal with the proliferation of children’s toys at home Naeemah Ford Goldson, a professional organizer, is also a mom of two. In her own home, Goldson likes to include her kids in the work of sorting out their toys. They know that the items they don’t need anymore will be given to people who can use them, to families who might not be as fortunate as theirs. “Doing so helps them build those habits of letting go,” she says, “so then they don’t become adults who are too dependent on material things instead of experiences, or people, and the memories we make with people.”
Her idea made sense She told her 5-year-old they should pick some to give to kids in their community who came from another country and had to leave their toys behind. She immediately took a pink bear from the pile.
32. Why does the author present the posts in paragraph 1
A. To show the popularity of children’s toys.
B. To offer suggestions about choosing children’s toys.
C. To praise the role of social media in buying children’s toys.
D. To introduce the influence too many children’s toys bring about.
33. What has caused the huge increase of children’s toys according to Cross
A. Children’s demands. B. The growth of technology.
C. The traditions in the 18th century. D. The practice of gifting among family members.
34. What does Goldson do to avoid too many toys
A. Involve her kids in organizing toys. B. Put away toys for her kids.
C. Buy her kids fewer toys. D. Sell unwanted toys to neighbors.
35. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. The Rise of Toy Stores in Neighborhoods B. The Importance of Choosing Proper Gifts
C. The Challenge of Managing Children’s Toys D. The Joy of Collecting Children’s Toys

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In the heart of a small village located near a thick bamboo forest in China, there lived a young girl named Lin. Lin lived with her grandmother in a small house that her grandfather had built with loving care before he passed away. Unluckily, Lin’s grandfather died before she was born. Lin never met her grandfather, but the stories her grandmother shared painted a picture of a man who was deeply loved and respected by the community.
Every day, Lin felt a great curiosity about the grandfather she had never seen but always felt close to. Her home, filled with his books and the very walls he built, stood as a living example of his hobbies and craftsmanship (手艺). The villagers often shared tales of her grandfather’s good deeds (行为), and they showed deep respect and support for Lin and her grandmother. This deep connection to a man she had never known filled Lin with a mix of sadness for never having me t him and pride for being his granddaughter. Driven by a desire to feel closer to her grandfather, Lin often explored the house and its surroundings, hoping to find something he had left behind — something that might deepen her understanding of the man who she had never met.
One autumn morning, while Lin was helping her grandmother clean the attic (阁楼), she found a beautifully carved wooden box hidden under a dust y floorboard. The box was locked, but to her surprise, she discovered a small note hidden in a crack of the box. It was written in lovely handwriting and said, “To my dear granddaughter, inside this box, you will find treasures of my heart, saved just for you.”
Lin’s fingers shook with expectation as she showed the note to her grandmother, who then handed her a small, old key. “Your grandfather wanted you to find this when you were old enough to understand the depth of his love,” her grandmother said, her eyes shining with tears.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With a deep breath, Lin unlocked the box.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
From that day on, the diary became Lin’s most cherished (珍爱的) item.

D
At some point, something will have to be done about the stuffed toys (毛绒玩具). I haven’t counted them because, truthfully, I’m not prepared to know how many there are. Lately, our neighborhood’s message boards are filled with posts about parents trying to make space, to clear out the things their kids no longer need. The tone of some of these posts can best be described as “emergency”. “Help!” they sometimes begin. “I have to get this out of my house.”
“The proliferation (激增) of children’s toys is the outcome of a long, gradual cultural change,”says Gary Cross, a professor at Pennsylvania State University. To understand how we got here — drowning (淹没于) in all those stuffed toys and bricks — it helps to look as far back as the late 19th century. “Parents were no longer passing their jobs on to the children,” Cross says. “Instead, they connect across generations through the gifting process. From the early 20th century on, goods became the things that define relationships between family members, and the way of marking success as a family.”
Then, how can parents deal with the proliferation of children’s toys at home Naeemah Ford Goldson, a professional organizer, is also a mom of two. In her own home, Goldson likes to include her kids in the work of sorting out their toys. They know that the items they don’t need anymore will be given to people who can use them, to families who might not be as fortunate as theirs. “Doing so helps them build those habits of letting go,” she says, “so then they don’t become adults who are too dependent on material things instead of experiences, or people, and the memories we make with people.”
Her idea made sense. She told her 5-year-old they should pick some to give to kids in their community who came from another country and had to leave their toys behind. She immediately took a pink bear from the pile.
32. Why does the author present the posts in paragraph 1
A. To show the popularity of children’s toys.
B. To offer suggestions about choosing children’s toys.
C. To praise the role of social media in buying children’s toys.
D. To introduce the influence too many children’s toys bring about.
33. What has caused the huge increase of children’s toys according to Cross
A. Children’s demands. B. The growth of technology.
C. The traditions in the 18th century. D. The practice of gifting among family members.
34. What does Goldson do to avoid too many toys
A. Involve her kids in organizing toys. B. Put away toys for her kids.
C. Buy her kids fewer toys. D. Sell unwanted toys to neighbors.
35. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. The Rise of Toy Stores in Neighborhoods B. The Importance of Choosing Proper Gifts
C. The Challenge of Managing Children’s Toys D. The Joy of Collecting Children’s Toys
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如今儿童玩具过多的问题，分析了背后的原因以及给出了建议。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了希腊著名哲学家亚里士多德关于如何获得幸福的一些方法和启示。
【36题详解】
文章以问题开头提到“How to gain happiness Aristotle, a famous Greek philosopher（哲学家）, believed that happiness is achieved through the development of certain virtues, stressing a balanced lifestyle. ”（如何获得幸福？著名的希腊哲学家亚里士多德认为，幸福是通过发展某些美德来实现的，他强调平衡的生活方式。）；根据后文的内容可知，后文提到了几个能够帮助自身获得幸福感的方法，因此空处的句子应起到引出后文的作用，F项“Here’s a simple explanation of his ideas designed for high school students”（下面是他为高中生设计的一个简单的解释）且根据后文的内容可知，该项引出后文中对于亚里士多德观念的解释，起到引出后文的作用，符合文意。故选F。
【37题详解】
前文提到“Modesty（谦虚） involves recognizing both your true strengths and weaknesses clearly. ”（谦虚包括清楚地认识到自己真正的优点和缺点。），以及后文中“Honesty means being true in your expressions.”（诚实意味着你的表达是真实的。）由此判断，一个人要在处理人际关系和与他人相处之间要保持谦虚、诚实等优点，不仅要认清自己，还要认清他人。A项“Aristotle stressed the importance of knowing oneself”（亚里士多德强调认识自己的重要性。）认识自己才能更好地处理人际关系，平衡个人的优点。该项符合文意，起到承上启下的作用。故选A。
【38题详解】
该段小标题提到“Managing Emotions and Actions”（管理情绪和行为）以及后文提到“Aristotle said it’s normal to feel emotions like anger, but the key to happiness is how you handle these feelings. Justice（公平）involves treating others fairly and balancing one’s needs with the needs of others. Strength involves facing fears and carefully considering risks before acting, which helps you achieve your goals confidently.”（亚里士多德说，感到愤怒等情绪是正常的，但幸福的关键是你如何处理这些情绪。公平包括公平对待他人，平衡自己和他人的需要。力量包括面对恐惧，在行动之前仔细考虑风险，这有助于你自信地实现目标。），亚里士多德提到要管理好负面情绪，并且在该段中还提到了justice（公平）和strength（力量）的作用，因此空处可使用总起性句子引出后文，B项“This principle combines self-control, justice, and strength”（这一原则结合了自制、正义和力量）该项总起引出后文中的三个特点，符合文意，起到引出后文的作用。故选B。
【39题详解】
前文提到“Generosity, tolerance, and grace are virtues that Aristotle considered to be part of kindness. Generosity isn’t just about giving things to others, but also about doing so thoughtfully.”（亚里士多德认为慷慨、宽容和优雅是善良的一部分。慷慨不仅仅是把东西给别人，还包括用心去做。）以及后文提到“Grace combines a sense of humor with the seriousness required in certain situations, helping to keep a pleasant and supportive presence around others.”（在某些情况下，体面将幽默感与严肃性结合在一起，有助于在他人周围保持愉快和支持的存在。），根据该段小标题提到“Practicing Kindness and Tolerance（宽容）”（善良与包容）说明该段也提到了包容的重要性。D项“Tolerance involves excusing others’ mistakes while keeping self-respect”（宽容包括原谅别人的错误，同时保持自尊）该项提到了包容所包含的内容，起到承上启下的作用。该项符合文意。故选D。
【40题详解】
该段为总结段。因此需选择一句总结性的句子。后文提到“He teaches us that happiness is not just about seeking pleasure or avoiding pain, but about developing a balanced character. By developing these virtues and finding a balance in everything we do, we can lead truly happy and satisfying lives.”（他教导我们，幸福不仅仅是寻求快乐或避免痛苦，而是培养一种平衡的性格。通过培养这些美德，并在我们所做的每件事中找到平衡，我们就能过上真正快乐和满足的生活。），该段提到幸福其实就是在寻找内在和外在的平衡。E项“In short, Aristotle’s approach to happiness is about finding balance in life”（简而言之，亚里士多德的幸福之道就是在生活中找到平衡。）该项总结了幸福之道是在生活中找到平衡，该项起到引出后文的作用，符合文意。故选E。

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In the heart of a small village located near a thick bamboo forest in China, there lived a young girl named Lin. Lin lived with her grandmother in a small house that her grandfather had built with loving care before he passed away. Unluckily, Lin’s grandfather died before she was born. Lin never met her grandfather, but the stories her grandmother shared painted a picture of a man who was deeply loved and respected by the community.
Every day, Lin felt a great curiosity about the grandfather she had never seen but always felt close to. Her home, filled with his books and the very walls he built, stood as a living example of his hobbies and craftsmanship (手艺). The villagers often shared tales of her grandfather’s good deeds (行为), and they showed deep respect and support for Lin and her grandmother. This deep connection to a man she had never known filled Lin with a mix of sadness for never having me t him and pride for being his granddaughter. Driven by a desire to feel closer to her grandfather, Lin often explored the house and its surroundings, hoping to find something he had left behind — something that might deepen her understanding of the man who she had never met.
One autumn morning, while Lin was helping her grandmother clean the attic (阁楼), she found a beautifully carved wooden box hidden under a dust y floorboard. The box was locked, but to her surprise, she discovered a small note hidden in a crack of the box. It was written in lovely handwriting and said, “To my dear granddaughter, inside this box, you will find treasures of my heart, saved just for you.”
Lin’s fingers shook with expectation as she showed the note to her grandmother, who then handed her a small, old key. “Your grandfather wanted you to find this when you were old enough to understand the depth of his love,” her grandmother said, her eyes shining with tears.

【答案】范文
With a deep breath, Lin unlocked the box. Inside, nestled among layers of soft, yellowed cloth, was a small, leather-bound diary. She flipped through the pages, the crisp sound of paper filling the attic with a sense of anticipation. Each page was filled with her grandfather’s handwriting, a mix of stories, reflections, and advice. There were descriptions of his childhood, his courtship with Lin’s grandmother, and the joy of building their home together. But most importantly, there were stories of Lin’s birth, how he had hoped to see her grow up, and the love he felt for his unborn granddaughter. Tears streamed down Lin’s face as she read the words of a man she had never known, but whose love for her was so profound.
From that day on, the diary became Lin’s most cherished item. She read it every night, letting the words of her grandfather guide her through the challenges of daily life. His stories inspired her to be kind, generous, and hardworking. His advice helped her make difficult decisions and face her fears. And his love for her gave her the courage to pursue her dreams, no matter how far-fetched they seemed. The diary became a bridge between the two worlds, connecting the past to the present and allowing Lin to feel closer to her grandfather every day. She knew that even though he was gone, his spirit and love would always be with her, guiding her through life’s journey.
