One early morning, I was cleaning the bathroom shower curtain and its liner (衬布) when it hit me. I had to clean a two-dollar plastic liner because I didn’t have a few extra dollars to buy a new one. I couldn’t believe it! Complaining wasn’t how I would start the day, especially when the sun was shining.
To continue the day optimistically, I left the cleaning for my daily walk at the beach. Along the way through the down town area, something on the sidewalk caught my attention. I walked over and picked it up. It was a small paper bag with no markings, so it wasn’t possible to figure out who it belonged to. I assumed someone must have dropped it, perhaps while loading other bags into his/her car. I turned it over for any identification. No store name, but the brand marking on the front clearly specified it was a shower curtain liner!
Speechless, I turned it over many times in my hands. Believe it or not, it was really an unopened shower curtain liner. I just happened to be the person who walked by and found it on the sidewalk. It took me a few minutes to decide what to do next, not wanting to claim something that wasn’t mine. If I brought it to the police station across the street, the police might just share a good laugh over a two-dollar shower curtain liner. I decided to keep it for myself.
But I was still surprised because the worthless plastic liner that had needed cleaning inspired my complaint and an early morning walk had suddenly transformed itself into a gift on the sidewalk for me. How that moment brightened my day!
At home, my focus was on myself, my anxieties, and my limits in being able to fix the problem. Once outside, I relaxed in the perspective of a much bigger picture. My personal complaint changed to thankfulness for the beauty that extended before my eyes in the form of a brand-new shower curtain liner, which matched perfectly with my bathroom!
24．What is the purpose of the author going for a walk on the beach
A．To seek a replacement for the liner.
B．To start her day in an optimistic way.
C．To get energetic for the day’s work.
D．To get relaxed after the heavy cleaning.
25．What stopped the author from reporting the bag to the police
A．The curiosity of opening the bag.
B．The urge to keep it to herself.
C．The chance to find the owner.
D．The fear of being laughed at.
26．Why did the author feel surprised
A．It was strange that a free liner should make her day.
B．The worthless liner turned out a gift from friends.
C．There was a special way for her financial support.
D．A chance meeting gave her confidence in life.
27．What did the author try to convey in the last paragraph
A．Learn to be grateful. B．Fix the problem timely.
C．Avoid complaints. D．Broaden your perspective.

When the PISA worldwide educational comparisons came out late in 2023, most countries fell to wondering how to do better. Spain had lost ground since the last time the tests were done in 2018. But students in Catalonia lost even more. Besides, native Spanish-speakers did worse than Catalan-speakers, which soon led to the blame on language policy.
In the 1980s Catalonia began a transition to teaching all subjects in Catalan, except Spanish. Several years ago the region’s top court ruled that at least 25% of classes must be given in Spanish. The regional government, led by separatists, then passed a law allowing individual school heads to raise or lower the level of teaching in Spanish, according to their need.
A new report for the Association for Bilingual Schools in Catalonia (AEB), which campaigns for more Spanish, said that hardly any schools have changed their published policies. And so they requested the European Parliament to investigate whether pupils’ basic rights had been violated. The week before Christmas a delegation made a fact-finding trip. The Catalan education secretary says they came having already made up their minds that the region’s language policy harms pupils’ performance.
In the Escola San Jaume, a primary school in El Prat de Llobregat, a heavily Spanish-speaking town near Barcelona, all signs are in Catalan. Only about 10% of the pupils are native Catalan-speakers, says the director, Arturo Ramírez. Despite the never-ending discussion across Spain, it is one largely achieved in Catalonia, where over 80% of the population speaks and reads Catalan, and everyone, except some immigrants, speaks Spanish too. Watching the happy students on his playground, Mr Ramírez says “There is no problem here. The problem is outside the building.”
28．What caused the blame on language policy
A．That the native Catalan-speakers did better than Spanish-speakers in PISA．
B．That Spain had lost ground.
C．That most countries was wondering how to do better.
D．That the PISA worldwide educational comparisons came out.
29．Which best describes the transition in the 1980s
A．At least 25% of classes must be given in Spanish.
B．All subjects were taught in Catalan.
C．Raise or lower the level in teaching according to need.
D．The regional government passed a law.
30．Which might be the percentage of the schools that have changed their published policies
A．100%. B．50%. C．75%. D．1%.
31．What might be the attitude of Mr Ramírez to their language teaching
A．Indifferent. B．Neutral. C．Confident. D．Unclear.
D
Save the rice for cooking, says the phone company, which has finally acknowledged the longstanding “trick” could do more damage.
You know the nightmare situation: You dropped your phone in water — be it pool, ocean, or toilet, your worries get the best of you, although iPhone 12’s and onwards are designed to survive 30 minutes of aquatic submersion. In the urgent need of saving your expensive device from potential damage, you remember your friend’s suggestion to throw it in a bag of rice overnight. Supposedly, the grain draws out any remaining water droplets from the smartphone’s tiny crevices, saving its precious circuitry in the process. They swore by it, after all. What is there to lose
Well, as the phone company spotted earlier today, a recently updated document states that this “trick” could actually cause further issues in your phone. “Don’t put your wet phone in a bag of rice,” the company warns in the revised article on its dreaded Liquid Detection Alert, “For doing so could allow small particles of rice to damage your phone,” while the rice starch (淀粉) can block the innards through the device’s small cracks. Besides all that, rice simply isn’t as effective as other materials, such as those silica packets you already should be recycling, anyway.
Among the other rumored solutions to avoid, the company advises phone owners not to use an “external heat source” such as a blow dryer, as well as leave the compressed air can in the utility closet. Similarly, trying to stuff cotton swabs, napkins, paper towels, or any other “foreign object” into charging ports could make things worse.
So, what should you do if your phone takes a plunge The company advises a gentle approach in such situations, such as simply tapping the device against your hand “with the connector facing down” to dislodge liquid, then leaving it in an open, dry space with decent airflow for at least 30 minutes. From there, try connecting it to a cable charger. Yes. They really did pull out the trusty “Have you tried turning it on and off again ” line for this one.
32．Which is closest in meaning to “get the best of” in paragraph 2
A．Make full of. B．Make fun of. C．Take care of. D．Take control of.
33．Why is it NOT suggested to put your wet phone in rice
A．Because the rice will damage the inner parts of the phone.
B．Because the rice is cheaper and more effective than other materials.
C．Because the rice will stick to the phone.
D．Because the rice will be wet.
34．What is the suitable way to dry a wet phone according to the phone company
A．Stuffing cotton swabs to absorb the water.
B．Leaving it in an open, dry place with constant flowing air.
C．Using a blow dryer to heat up the inside.
D．Using napkins to dry up the surface.
35．Which can be the best title of this passage
A．Placing wet phone in rice may hurt. B．Rice is a good choice for drying up wet phone.
C．Phone 12 is designed water-proof. D．Approaches to dry up your wet phone.

Even if you love fish, actually cooking it in your kitchen can be a commitment. Long after the fish has been eaten, the pots washed, and the plates put in the dishwasher, the fish smell still exits. 36 Luckily, expert cooks have figured out how you can cook your fish without leaving a smell that exists for days.
First off, know that truly fresh fish really shouldn't have much of an odor（气味）at all. So if you unwrap a package of fish and take a step back from the smell that greets you, throw it away because it's not fresh. 37
A lot of the smell from cooking fish is because of the cooking method you use. 38
However, other techniques, like cooking fish in paper, can put a lid on the problem before it starts. Cleaning experts recommend minimizing the odor before cooking by bathing fish in milk or a solution of lemon and water.
If it's too late and your home is beginning to smell like the parking lot of a seafood joint, then Good Housekeeping suggests mixing together vinegar and water and letting it boil for several minutes to get rid of the smell.
39 Shut any inside doors to keep the smell from spreading throughout the house and into bedrooms, but open up kitchen windows and doors to allow the smell to get out. And be sure to wipe any spills and throw away any trash containing fish bits. 40 And the resulting sweet scent will make everyone forget about any fishy odor.
A．Frying can cause a big smell problem.
B．Prepare your home ahead offish cooking time.
C．Here's how to make every room smell amazing.
D．Cooking fish wrong brings about terrible smells.
E．When all else fails, bake up some cookies for dessert.
F．But, admittedly, even the freshest fish can get a bit of smell once it's cooked.
G．It can be enough to put even the most devoted fish eater off cooking it regularly.

The rest read factual instructions on how to do washing up without being encouraged to focus their awareness on the activity.
Afterwards, the participants were asked to take a questionnaire about their 53 . Those who had fully engaged with the experience reported a significantly better mood. This included 54 nervousness and even a sense of “inspiration”, as if the simple activity had 55 their minds.

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。
I’ve always thought of my mother Lee-Ann as a superhero. Not that she can fly or shoot lasers (激光) out of her eyes, but because she never runs out of room in her heart for anyone or anything.
I could write about all of the wonderful things she has done, but I want to focus on the one project she does every year that has shaped my whole family and everyone around us: She collects the money she finds in the washer and dryer, and she puts it in a little jar that we refer to as “The Charity Jar”. Every year, she takes this money and puts it toward something — a cause, an act of kindness, anything that can help someone. Sometimes, she buys coffee for the next people in line at a coffee shop. Other times, she buys something for an organization that needs it.
If you ask her about this tradition, she will tell you that she is carrying on something that her mother used to do around the holidays. If you ask anyone else who knows her, however, they will tell you that she has a huge heart. She manages to get our whole family involved in this movement every year.
Last year, for example, my younger brother Bob and I volunteered in a shelter for the homeless. Once, when we helped with delivering daily supplies there, he noticed the wish list on the wall: comforters, a DVD player, a coffee maker and supplies. We told Mum, and she quickly organized a family meeting to discuss how to help the shelter. We all agreed that the coffee maker would be the best thing for our family to work on together. We found a coffee maker online and decided to buy one.
Bob opened “The Charity Jar” and we counted the money Mum collected. Unfortunately, it was 50 dollars short. “Any way to make it up ” Mum asked me and Bob.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右：
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“I’ve learned that Mr. Smith needs someone to tidy his big garden,” I told Bob.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next weekend, we went to the shelter with the new coffee maker excitedly.

【原文】W: World sleep day organized by the world’s sleep day committee of the world association of sleep medicine since two thousand and eight. It’s held on March twenty-one every year. The aim is to celebrate the benefits of good and healthy sleep. Researchers say that if we always get enough sleep, we can be smarter and thinner. Also we’re to have better skin, better memories and longer lives. When you lose even one hour of sleep for any reason, it will influence your performance the next day. In general, adults are thought to need at least eight hours of sleep at night. But a recent survey found that on work days only twenty one percent of them really get a full eight hours of sleep. For teenagers a healthy amount is about eight to nine hours per night. However about eighty percent of high school students don’t get enough sleep because of school work or bad habits. Twenty seven percent of people worldwide have sleep problems. Now there are over eighty kinds of sleep disorders and most people know little about their danger it’s necessary to realize the importance of sleep and try to have a good sleep.

67．
“I’ve learned that Mr. Smith needs someone to tidy his big garden,” I told Bob. “We could offer to do that for him and use the money he pays us to make up the difference.” Bob nodded enthusiastically, so we headed over to Mr. Smith’s house. After explaining our plan, he agreed, and we spent the next few hours weeding, pruning, and generally sprucing up the garden. When we finished, Mr. Smith was so pleased with our work that he paid us the full amount we needed, and even threw in a little extra as a thank you. With the money in hand, we knew the shelter’s coffee maker was now within reach.
The next weekend, we went to the shelter with the new coffee maker excitedly. As we handed it over, the staff and some of the residents gathered around, their faces lighting up with gratitude. We explained how we’d raised the money, and everyone thanked us warmly. That day, we not only delivered a coffee maker, but also the message that small acts of kindness can have a big impact. Mum’s tradition had once again brought our family together to make a difference in our community, reminding us that every little bit of help counts.
