A week after my mother’s passing, I found myself published with how to go on with life. When a friend emailed me about a race supporting cancer research, I initially ignored it. It seemed too close to the heart, as cancer was the very disease that had taken my mother away from me. But something about my friend’s words — “I can help organize the whole thing” —stuck with me. I felt I ought to agree.
In the weeks that followed, I gradually re-entered the world of the living. Monitoring our team’s website became a daily routine, and with each donation, a sense of pride welled up inside me. I knew my mom would have wanted it that way, She was the type who never got defeated, It was this very spirit that helped me get by.
When the race ended, I noticed the runners all had one thing in common: There were big smiles on their faces. They made it look so rewarding and effortless. I wanted in. So l enrolled（报名）in another race two months later. Considering I could hardly run a mile, it was truly challenging. But my friend and I made a training plan so I wouldn’t come in last. I followed it seriously and didn’t let anything get in my way.
Running up and down the city’s hills, I was flooded with memories. I had lived there after college and my mother had visited often. I passed Bloomingdale’s, recalling the time she and I had gotten into a screaming argument there. I was about to beat myself up when I remembered what Mom had said after her diagnosis（诊断）of cancer. “I don’t want you to feel guilty about anything.” Her paper-thin hands had held me tightly. A weight lifted from my shoulders. When the race day arrived, I gave it my all for my mom and for all she had taught me and continued to teach me. As I ran, whenever I felt like slowing down, I pictured her cheering me on.
Crossing the finish line, I felt surrounded in her love and a profound sense of peace.

Fishing trips to Canada are a tradition for Jeffrey Hardy and his three friends from America. This summer in 2023, the forest air polluted with wildfire smoke forced the men to give up their mid-June fishing plan. Canada’s wildfire season put its tourism industry at a crucial time.
Except some days of poor air quality, major Canadian cities remain unaffected by wildfires. The fires are in the country’s northern areas that have drawn travelers interested in outdoor experience s in years past.
In a recent report by Destination Canada, a marketing organization, half of the total spent by international visitors is in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. But other Canadian destinations attractive to visitors have been affected by the wildfires.
In preparation for increasing visitor sizes and ongoing wildfires, some businesses are thinking about changing their operations, which see outdoor recreation as a tourism opportunity. A nonprofit travel agency is considering creating a questionnaire for customers to show when they would cancel a booking because of road closes from the wildfires, poor air quality and a lack of visibility.
Tourism in British Columbia contributes greatly to its economy. The province has various recreational offerings from the major ski destinations to hiking along the coast. Blackcomb, a helicopter tour company, has canceled its sightseeing offerings, using most of its helicopters on the firefighting effort until at least early August. “It’s the question of flying our customers around on sightseeing tours or putting out fires within 10 kilometers of our bases and the communities that we live in,” said Jordy Norris, the company’s tourism director. “We made it clear to both our staff and our customers that we have a duty to protect the backyard.”
Darrin Rigo, a photographer recently saw a photo of a beautiful waterfall covered in fire on a media page. “I’m sure that’s not going to last long, and everything will return to normal.” he said.
28. Which part of Canada is most affected by the wildfire
A. The northern areas. B. Canada’s central parts.
C. Major Canadian cities. D. Places with few visitors.
29. What is a nonprofit travel agency’s response to wildfires
A. Using its helicopters on the firefighting effort.
B. Raising money to put out the fire.
C. Changing operations and developing outdoor recreation.
D. Creating a questionnaire for customers.
30. Why has Blackcomb called off its sightseeing offerings
A. To save the cost due to the decrease in the number of visitors.
B. In an effort to put out the wildfire.
C. To fly its staff on sightseeing tours.
D. To be busy creating a questionnaire.
31. What is Darrin Rigo’s attitude towards the development of Canada’s tourism
A. Positive. B. Neutral.
C. Negative. D. Indifferent.

An important lesson in the moral education of children could be as close as the book in their hands. Stories can play a role in shifting the importance of particular moral values in young audiences, according to the results of a new study.
“Media can markedly influence separate moral values and get kids to place more or less importance on those values depending on what is uniquely stressed in that content,” says Lindsay Hahn, PhD, an assistant professor of communication in the University at Buffalo College of Arts and Sciences.
Hahn is the first author of the new study, which adds an important part to a body of literature that explores how media content affects children. While many previous studies have focused on broad conceptualisations（概念化）, like positive or negative effects of specific content, Hahn’s study looks at how reading of content featuring specific moral values（care, fairness, loyalty, and authority）might influence the weight kids place on those values, Do children reading about particular moral characteristics absorb those qualities as building blocks for their own morality The findings suggest so, and further support how this indirect approach to socializing children’s morality can add to the direct teaching of moral principles kids might receive through formal instruction.
For the study, Hahn and her colleagues took the main character from a teen story and edited the content to reflect in each version（版本）the study’s focus on one of four moral values. A fifth version was changed in a way that featured an amoral main character. The stories were shared with about 200 participants between the ages of 10 and 14.
The team then created a scale（量表）designed to measure the importance kids place on moral values to find out how participants might be influenced by specific stories.
“Measuring these effects can be difficult,” says Hahn of the research, published in the Journal of Media Psychology, “That’s why one purpose of this research was to develop a measure of moral values for kids. Nothing like that exists yet, that we know of.”
32. What does the underlined word “shifting” in paragraph 1 mean
A、increasing B. changing
C. reflecting D. replacing
33. What can you learn from the results of the study
A. Good virtues can help carry children through hard times.
B. Reading stories is a better approach than formal instructions.
C. Teaching moral principles directly to kids seems useless.
D. Good morals in stories help shape children’s values.
34. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The response of the general public to Hahn’s study.
B. The contribution of Hahn’s study to children’s literature.
C. The difference between Hahn’s study and previous studies.
D. The branches of research on media influences on children.
35. What did Hahn’s team do for the study
A. They created a chain story out of an old character.
B. They tested different moral principles in children.
C. They illustrated the study for younger participants.
D. They adapted a character and created five stories.

The Responsibility We Should Take
Dear friends,
I feel very privileged to stand here to share with you my understanding of responsibility.
It goes without saying that responsibility is to us what an anchor is to a ship in rough seas, without which we may be at the mercy of our careless and thoughtless behavior. From my perspective, our responsibility comes down to two aspects. On one hand, taking responsibility for our studies is of vital importance. Not only should we meet the deadline for schoolwork and follow teachers’ guidance, but we should also aim for academic excellence. On the other hand, we ought to practice the virtues of courage, determination and integrity, thus building a strong character.
Let’s take action to be a responsible middle school student!
第二节（满分25分）
One possible version:
Harish is suffering from leukemia（白血病）. He lost all his hair because of the side effects of the treatment. He refused to return to school because he was afraid of being laughed at by the schoolmates. The turning point came with the story that Sindu visited him last week. But what I never imagined was that she would sacrifice her lovely hair for the sake of the boy. “What a little angel!” the lady exclaimed, tears welling up in her eyes.（74 词）
That day several students of her class went to school with their heads hairless. Without any embarrassment and hesitation, they talked and laughed as usual, waving morning greetings to each other. The cheerful scene infected everyone on the spot, which touched me and left me lost in thought. What was it that encouraged my little princess who hated rice to overcome her strong personal disgust to help others out How was it that the act of kindness went viral Looking at her round lovely face, I realized Sindu had taught me what real selfless love was!（82 词）

Across the UK, a group of volunteer motorcyclists are helping hospitals by delivering blood. Angela Brown is one of them. She is on call for 80 hours each month. At very short notice, she can be woken in the night and find herself riding a motorbike with a vital delivery for a hospital. But she’s not an employee of any hospital. She’s just a volunteer, one of the 1,400 advanced qualified riders of the Association of Blood Bikers. Last year, the Association’s bikers responded to around 35,000 rapid transport requests from 262 UK hospitals. Besides blood, the bikers also deliver surgical tools and medicine. Brown first discovered blood biking when she was on a course at the institute of advanced motorists. Her trainer was a blood biker. Under his influence: Brown started volunteering as a rider. She later discovered that blood bikers once helped her own nephew, Peter. He received blood delivered by a rider on New Year’s Eve, 2015. Brown says being a blood biker is a way of helping the community and being on the bike at the same time.

A week after my mother’s passing, I found myself published with how to go on with life. When a friend emailed me about a race supporting cancer research, I initially ignored it. It seemed too close to the heart, as cancer was the very disease that had taken my mother away from me. But something about my friend’s words — “I can help organize the whole thing” —stuck with me. I felt I ought to agree.
In the weeks that followed, I gradually re-entered the world of the living. Monitoring our team’s website became a daily routine, and with each donation, a sense of pride welled up inside me. I knew my mom would have wanted it that way, She was the type who never got defeated, It was this very spirit that helped me get by.
When the race ended, I noticed the runners all had one thing in common: There were big smiles on their faces. They made it look so rewarding and effortless. I wanted in. So l enrolled（报名）in another race two months later. Considering I could hardly run a mile, it was truly challenging. But my friend and I made a training plan so I wouldn’t come in last. I followed it seriously and didn’t let anything get in my way.
Running up and down the city’s hills, I was flooded with memories. I had lived there after college and my mother had visited often. I passed Bloomingdale’s, recalling the time she and I had gotten into a screaming argument there. I was about to beat myself up when I remembered what Mom had said after her diagnosis（诊断）of cancer. “I don’t want you to feel guilty about anything.” Her paper-thin hands had held me tightly. A weight lifted from my shoulders. When the race day arrived, I gave it my all for my mom and for all she had taught me and continued to teach me. As I ran, whenever I felt like slowing down, I pictured her cheering me on.
Crossing the finish line, I felt surrounded in her love and a profound sense of peace.
24. Why did the author change her attitude towards the race
A. Because she learned the race supported cancer research,
B. Because there were too many people who signed up for the race.
C. Because the words of the author’s friend touched her,
D. Because the author has recovered from her mom’s death.
25. What eventually motivated the author to join in another race
A. The encouragement of family members.
B. The promise of winning the race.
C. The desire to prove their athleticism.
D. The big smiles on the runners’ faces.
26. What significance did the city’s hills hold for the author in the training
A. A place of communication.
B. Memories associated with her mother.
C. A reminder of college life.
D. A challenging running place.

A. The encouragement of her friends.
B. The influence of her mother.
C. The author’s competitive desire to win first place.
D. The author’s love for the race.

Fishing trips to Canada are a tradition for Jeffrey Hardy and his three friends from America. This summer in 2023, the forest air polluted with wildfire smoke forced the men to give up their mid-June fishing plan. Canada’s wildfire season put its tourism industry at a crucial time.
Except some days of poor air quality, major Canadian cities remain unaffected by wildfires. The fires are in the country’s northern areas that have drawn travelers interested in outdoor experience s in years past.
In a recent report by Destination Canada, a marketing organization, half of the total spent by international visitors is in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. But other Canadian destinations attractive to visitors have been affected by the wildfires.
In preparation for increasing visitor sizes and ongoing wildfires, some businesses are thinking about changing their operations, which see outdoor recreation as a tourism opportunity. A nonprofit travel agency is considering creating a questionnaire for customers to show when they would cancel a booking because of road closes from the wildfires, poor air quality and a lack of visibility.
Tourism in British Columbia contributes greatly to its economy. The province has various recreational offerings from the major ski destinations to hiking along the coast. Blackcomb, a helicopter tour company, has canceled its sightseeing offerings, using most of its helicopters on the firefighting effort until at least early August. “It’s the question of flying our customers around on sightseeing tours or putting out fires within 10 kilometers of our bases and the communities that we live in,” said Jordy Norris, the company’s tourism director. “We made it clear to both our staff and our customers that we have a duty to protect the backyard.”
Darrin Rigo, a photographer recently saw a photo of a beautiful waterfall covered in fire on a media page. “I’m sure that’s not going to last long, and everything will return to normal.” he said.
28. Which part of Canada is most affected by the wildfire
A. The northern areas. B. Canada’s central parts.
C. Major Canadian cities. D. Places with few visitors.
29. What is a nonprofit travel agency’s response to wildfires
A. Using its helicopters on the firefighting effort.
B. Raising money to put out the fire.
C. Changing operations and developing outdoor recreation.
D. Creating a questionnaire for customers.
30. Why has Blackcomb called off its sightseeing offerings
A. To save the cost due to the decrease in the number of visitors.
B. In an effort to put out the wildfire.
C. To fly its staff on sightseeing tours.
D. To be busy creating a questionnaire.
31. What is Darrin Rigo’s attitude towards the development of Canada’s tourism
A. Positive. B. Neutral.
C. Negative. D. Indifferent.

An important lesson in the moral education of children could be as close as the book in their hands. Stories can play a role in shifting the importance of particular moral values in young audiences, according to the results of a new study.
“Media can markedly influence separate moral values and get kids to place more or less importance on those values depending on what is uniquely stressed in that content,” says Lindsay Hahn, PhD, an assistant professor of communication in the University at Buffalo College of Arts and Sciences.
Hahn is the first author of the new study, which adds an important part to a body of literature that explores how media content affects children. While many previous studies have focused on broad conceptualisations（概念化）, like positive or negative effects of specific content, Hahn’s study looks at how reading of content featuring specific moral values（care, fairness, loyalty, and authority）might influence the weight kids place on those values, Do children reading about particular moral characteristics absorb those qualities as building blocks for their own morality The findings suggest so, and further support how this indirect approach to socializing children’s morality can add to the direct teaching of moral principles kids might receive through formal instruction.
For the study, Hahn and her colleagues took the main character from a teen story and edited the content to reflect in each version（版本）the study’s focus on one of four moral values. A fifth version was changed in a way that featured an amoral main character. The stories were shared with about 200 participants between the ages of 10 and 14.
The team then created a scale（量表）designed to measure the importance kids place on moral values to find out how participants might be influenced by specific stories.
“Measuring these effects can be difficult,” says Hahn of the research, published in the Journal of Media Psychology, “That’s why one purpose of this research was to develop a measure of moral values for kids. Nothing like that exists yet, that we know of.”
32. What does the underlined word “shifting” in paragraph 1 mean
A、increasing B. changing
C. reflecting D. replacing
33. What can you learn from the results of the study
A. Good virtues can help carry children through hard times.
B. Reading stories is a better approach than formal instructions.
C. Teaching moral principles directly to kids seems useless.
D. Good morals in stories help shape children’s values.
34. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The response of the general public to Hahn’s study.
B. The contribution of Hahn’s study to children’s literature.
C. The difference between Hahn’s study and previous studies.
D. The branches of research on media influences on children.
35. What did Hahn’s team do for the study

“Dad, I want to have my hair shaved off（剃光）this Sunday!”
“Darling, why don’t you ask for something else Girls look ugly with a clean-shaven head. We will be sad seeing you with a clean-shaven head.”

The Responsibility We Should Take
Dear friends,
I feel very privileged to stand here to share with you my understanding of responsibility.
It goes without saying that responsibility is to us what an anchor is to a ship in rough seas, without which we may be at the mercy of our careless and thoughtless behavior. From my perspective, our responsibility comes down to two aspects. On one hand, taking responsibility for our studies is of vital importance. Not only should we meet the deadline for schoolwork and follow teachers’ guidance, but we should also aim for academic excellence. On the other hand, we ought to practice the virtues of courage, determination and integrity, thus building a strong character.
Let’s take action to be a responsible middle school student!

One possible version:
Harish is suffering from leukemia（白血病）. He lost all his hair because of the side effects of the treatment. He refused to return to school because he was afraid of being laughed at by the schoolmates. The turning point came with the story that Sindu visited him last week. But what I never imagined was that she would sacrifice her lovely hair for the sake of the boy. “What a little angel!” the lady exclaimed, tears welling up in her eyes.（74 词）
That day several students of her class went to school with their heads hairless. Without any embarrassment and hesitation, they talked and laughed as usual, waving morning greetings to each other. The cheerful scene infected everyone on the spot, which touched me and left me lost in thought. What was it that encouraged my little princess who hated rice to overcome her strong personal disgust to help others out How was it that the act of kindness went viral Looking at her round lovely face, I realized Sindu had taught me what real selfless love was!（82 词）
