（2024·浙江绍兴·二模）Guo Qi put his design skills to good use when he decided to start a homestay (民宿) business in 2018. The 34-year-old from Chengdu, Sichuan Province, has had a design company since 2016. “My first homestay was my own apartment,” Guo said. “I often stayed in Airbnb home-stays when I traveled earlier, so I thought I should start the business on my own.” Now, he owns 30 homestays in the city.
“I wanted to install a swing in my living room but gave up the idea because it would cause some trouble for my kids,” Guo said. “But the idea would work for a homestay.” Guo installed swings at three of his homestay locations so that his guests could enjoy the beauty of the city through large windows while relaxing.
Guo Qi always redesigns his homestays from time to time. Guo said the idea was to meet guests’ different needs. It takes him up to 45 days to finish decorating (装修) a room to his taste, costing about 70,000 yuan. Practical use, comfort and design are usually the main things he pays much attention to while decorating a homestay. “It has to be different from a hotel,” he said.

（2024·浙江宁波·一模）When introducing the rules of the class, the first words my math teacher Ms. Whitney began with were “kindness” and “homework”. Now, I can imagine that you must be feeling what I was feeling then: Why would homework, which is already so difficult, has something to do with anything good
As if understanding my confusion (困惑), Ms. Whitney began to explain in her gentle but authoritative (温柔却威严的) voice, “Homework sometimes needs cooperation. When others can’t solve a problem, and you can do it, you can help them. It provides you with the chance to grow and learn.”
It was at that moment I heard a pop in my head, a feeling as if the confusion around the two words had disappeared. Homework brings out kindness, and kindness in turn creates an environment that encourages everyone to practice.
Ms. Whitney proved the truth behind those words during the following days. Every day, we were divided into groups and made to stand next to each other, working on problems that came like a never-ending flood (洪水). The first day, I was a bit uncomfortable working with another person. But soon, as we discussed questions and helped each other, that uncomfortable feeling began to disappear.
In a classroom filled with friendly discussion and Ms. Whitney’s happy voice calling out, “Kindness and Homework!” whenever she saw one of us sitting alone or in need of help, math class was never as boring as it had been before. It was hard to believe that homework problems could change the way people think. In the past, I could only think of one way to solve a problem, but now I can think of more than two ways. Learning in Ms. Whitney’s class has helped me find the reason to learn, which will help me for the rest of my journey abroad.
53．What does the underlined word “cooperation” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．To work together. B．To have fun.
C．To be careful. D．To be independent.
54．When did the writer begin to understand the relation between “homework” and “kindness”
A．When Ms. Whitney began to introduce the rules of the class.
B．When Ms. Whitney explained in her gentle but authoritative voice.
C．When the writer was working with another person.
D．When Ms. Whitney saw someone sitting alone or in need of help.
55．How did Ms. Whitney prove the truth behind her words
A．By explaining her words over and over again.
B．By discussing with her students.
C．By dividing her students into groups to work on problems.
D．By calling out “Kindness and Homework” loudly.
56．Which of the following will most probably happen in the rest of the writer’s journey abroad
A．The writer gets bored with math class.
B．The writer prefers to do things on her own.
C．Homework is not difficult for the writer at all.
D．Homework means more than just finishing the task.

Companies these days spend thousands of dollars on their computer security. They buy the best firewalls and computer programs. However, Kevin Mitnick thinks the biggest danger these days is not a weakness in technology.
In the 1990s, Kevin Mitnick was an infamous hacker (黑客). He hacked into government and corporate computer systems. After being punished and sent into prison, Mitnick decided to use his skills in a different way. He started his own computer security firm. He now advises people on how to keep their computers safe.
According to Mitnick, the biggest danger to security is people. However, by this he doesn’t mean hackers.
In fact, he means the people using the programs. “If an attacker can get one trusting person to give his or her information, the attacker gets in. All that money spent is basically wasted.” A hacker can get around everything with just one person within the company.
Unfortunately, people are still too trusting. In a recent test of the US tax office (the IRS), security experts called 100 managers. They posed as IRS computer technicians. The experts were able to fool 35 of the managers. They gave both their passwords and IDs. In the hands of real hackers, this would have been a disaster!
57．What is the main idea of this reading
A．Managers need to be more careful about who they talk to.
B．Technology is not helpful if people aren’t careful.
C．Hackers can help us make our computers safe.
D．It’s really important to get the newest technology.
58．What do you know about Kevin Mitnick according to the passage
A．He now works for the US government.
B．He thinks security technology is expensive.
C．He used to be a criminal.
D．He teaches people how to hack computers.
59．What does the word “They” refer to in the last paragraph
A．Experts. B．Technicians. C．Hackers. D．Managers.
60．What is Kevin Mitnick’s advice to us
A．Don’t give information to strangers. B．Buy the newest firewalls.
C．Test your computer systems often. D．Don’t put important information on computers.
