I ask every student I interview for admission to my institution, Pitzer College, the same question, “What do you look forward to the most in college ” I was amazed and delighted recently when a student sat across from me at a Starbucks in New York City and replied, “I look forward to the possibility of failure.” Of course, this is not how most students respond to the question when sitting before the person who can make decisions about their academic futures,
but this young man took a risk.
“You see, my parents have never let me fail,“ he said. “When I want to take a chance at something, they remind me it’s not a safe route to take. Taking a more demanding (要求高的) course or trying an activity I may not succeed in, they tell me, will ruin my chances at college admission. Even the sacrifice of staying up late to do something unrelated to school, they see as a risk to my academic work and college success.”
These days, finding imperfections in a college application is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Students try their best to hide factors they regard as negative and only tell us things they believe we will find impressive. This is supported by a secondary school culture where teachers are under pressure to give students nothing less than an A, and are told not to report disciplinary infractions (违纪) to colleges. Education agents in other countries are known to falsify student transcripts (成绩单), assuming that outstanding grades are the ticket to admission.
I’ve spent enough time in high schools to know teenagers will never be perfect. They do silly things, mess up, fall down, and lack confidence. The ability to bounce (回弹) back is an essential life skill students have to learn on their own. The lessons of failure can’t be taught in a classroom; they are experienced and reflected upon.
Failure is about growth, learning, overcoming, and moving on. Let’s allow young people to fail. Not only will they learn something, it might even get them into college.
24.What can you infer about students in the author’s interviews
A.They usually try all out to display their strengths.
B.They usually express a desire to experience failure.
C.They usually take a risk so as to get admitted into college.
D.They usually complain about their parents’ control over them.
25.What can you learn from paragraph 3
A.Students should make their college applications perfect.
B.Secondary school teachers don’t like to give students A.
C.Secondary schools tend to help cover students’ imperfections.
D.Outstanding scores will certainly ensure you a place in a college.
26.According to the author, what quality may be expected from students by college professors
A.The ability to learn outside class.
B.The ability to deal with failure.
C.The ability to be always confident.
D.The ability to learn on their own.
27.What is the main idea of the passage
A.Failure is the mother of success.
B.Teenagers are far from being perfect.
C.If you want to get into college, learn to fail.
D.If you want to impress interviewers, take a risk.
C
The Little Prince, written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, is a charming and thought-provoking (引人深思的) story that takes us on a colorful and touching journey through the universe, exploring themes of friendship, love, loss, and the meaning of life.
The story begins with the narrator, a pilot who has crashed in the desert. Trapped and alone, he encounters (邂逅) a mysterious little boy — the little prince. The little prince hails from a small planet where he has cared for a single rose that is very precious to him. However, feeling misunderstood and hurt by the rose’s behavior, he decides to leave his planet in search of answers and new friends.
Traveling from planet to planet, he meets many strange and unusual characters: the king, the proud man, the drunkard, the businessman, and the lamplighter. Each provides the little prince with a different view on human nature and the world. One of the most meaningful encounters is with the fox. The fox teaches the little prince the true meaning of care and love, establishing a deep connection and bond with someone or something. Through this experience, the little prince realizes that his rose is truly unique and special to him.
Throughout his journey, the little prince also reflects on the adults he encounters, often finding them to be strange and lost in their own concerns and worries. He questions what they consider most important and the way they have forgotten the simple joy s and wonders of life. The little prince’s innocence (纯真) serves as a reminder of what is truly important in our own lives.
Eventually, the little prince meets the narrator. Together, they share many conversations and experiences, deepening the narrator’s understanding of the little prince’s world.
“The Little Prince” takes us on a magical journey through the universe, touching our souls and leaving us with a sense of wonder and hope. It is a story that reminds us of the power of innocence, love, and the importance of never losing sight of what truly matters in life.
28.Where is the text probably taken from
A.A journey of two friends. B.A report of an adventure.
C.An introduction to a book. D.A guidebook to travelling.
29.Why does the little prince leave his planet
A.To prove he is a brave adventurer and a trustworthy friend.
B.To help the lost pilot find his way home and make friends with him.
C.To visit some long-missing friends and help them solve problems.
D.To seek new friendship and answers to his confusions.
30.Who changes the little prince’s view of his rose
A.The fox. B.The king. C.The businessman. D.The lamplighter.
31.What can we learn from the little prince’s experiences

Babies as young as four months old can make sense of how their bodies interact with the space around them, according to a new research from the University of Birmingham. The findings, published in Scientific Reports, throw new light on how self-awareness develops.
In the first stage, experts from the Birmingham Baby Lab showed babies a ball on a screen moving towards them. When the ball was closest to them on the screen, the babies were presented with a touch on their hands, while their brain activity was being measured. It was found that even in the first few months of life, before babies have even learned to reach for objects, the multisensory (多感官的) brain is wired up to make links between what babies see and what they feel. Dr Giulia Orioli, the study leader, said: “Since we know babies in the early stages of their development begin to show signs of this, it opens up questions about how much of these abilities are learned, or inborn.”
Then a ball on a screen was shown moving away from them in the second stage. The experts found that in babies aged eight months old when the touch on their hand followed the ball on the screen moving away from them, the babies’ brain activity showed signs that they were amazed. The older babies’ responses suggest that they had not expected the touch.
Next, the researchers are planning to follow up this study with younger participants, hoping to be able to see if there are early signs of these “multisensory” abilities in newborn babies. “It is a challenge working with newborns,” Dr Orioli concluded, “but we are starting to have some success working with this age group, and it is going to be fascinating to see if babies only a few days old have the foundations of a sense of their bodies in space. If so, it could be that we are looking at the origins of human consciousness.”
32.What can we learn about Stage 1 of the research
A.Babies’ multisensory abilities are learned.
B.Babies learn to reach for objects earlier than expected.
C.Babies connect what they see and feel in the first few months.
D.Babies’ brain activity was measured when a ball touched them.
33.What is the babies’ response in Stage 2 of the research
A.Surprise. B.Fear. C.Calmness. D.Annoyance.
34.How does Dr Orioli feel about the future of this research
A.Doubtful. B.Hopeful. C.Puzzled. D.Worried.
35.Which one is the best title for the text
A.Babies’ Interaction with Balls Measured
B.Origins of Human Consciousness Found
C.Babies’ Multisensory Brain Developed at Birth
D.Young Babies Showing Signs of Self-awareness

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Sometimes dealing with your emotions can feel overwhelming. When life is stressful, it’s easy to give in to feelings of anger or depression. 36 There are ways to better cope with your negative feelings.
Understand your emotional needs.
In order to manage your emotions, you need to fully understand them. All of us have
certain emotional needs that are just as important as our physical needs. Spend some time taking an inventory of the emotional needs that are most important to you. For example, some important emotional needs are feeling in control, feeling respected, and feeling comfort. 37
Know the causes.
When things aren’t going your way, it is very common to feel anger. Maybe your boss criticized you for careless work on a project. You might feel that you are not being respected, because you spent months creating a great product. 38 Knowing the things that set off negative emotions is an important part of remaining in control.
39
When you know that something is causing a negative emotion, try to shift your focus away from it. Instead, refocus on something positive to help you regain your calmness. Perhaps feeling out of control is one of your triggers. When you are in a traffic jam and running late, you are likely to feel frustration and anger. To improve the situation, turn on your favorite CD for just such an occasion.
Calm down.
When experiencing very strong emotions, it can be difficult to think and act reasonably. When you are angry or frightened, your body goes into a flight or fight mode, which can cause you to react emotionally instead of logically. 40 So it is important to learn to calm yourself down when you are experiencing negative emotions. One of the effective ways is to take deep breaths. Focusing on your breathing will help you calm down, physically and emotionally.
A.Shift your focus.
B.Take a time-out.
C.Not feeling respected is probably what causes your anger.
D.This type of response is generally not helpful in work or social life.
E.Once you know the causes, you can use that to regain happiness.
F.However, you will feel better if you can learn to manage your emotions.
G.If your brain feels one of those needs is not being met, that can cause the negative emotions.

In certain situations, we can never fully recognize the value of what has occurred until the moment is gone. Then we are left to reflect on every detail. One such moment for me was being invited to participate in the National Storytelling Festival as the youngest 41 . I have spoken on a variety of 42 , but this particular festival was an event like no other. Thousands of people drifted in and out of tents as storytellers weaved (编织) words into memories both 43 and humorous.
I stood on a stage with a single microphone. All eyes were on me, a feeling that 44
anxiety easily. The challenge in that moment was to 45 authentic emotion — to be vulnerable (脆弱) and fearless. In a tent filled with expectant listeners, it was embarrassing to think about being so 46 , but I understood that the only real 47 would be not showing my true passion. So, I gave the audience everything I had, and in turn they 48 with support and encouragement.
This sort of communication is responsible for the smallest and largest 49 between people in life. The festival is 50 on communities coming together to listen. Not to hear, but to 51 listen. I think of the lonely people of the world, the misunderstood, the uncelebrated. Listening to their stories opens up doors and relationship possibilities that are far more peaceful in nature than 52 or even ignoring.
The most powerful part of the 53 was not the fact that I spoke or that the most brilliant storytellers in the world were there, but that I 54 first-hand that people do in fact understand and 55 closer communication. I finally understand the educational world is in need of spaces like these where truth comes to be heard. Now I hold closely to the belief that storytelling connects individuals.

Many people hold a memory of kites. It could be a sunny spring day in a rural landscape with family members. With the wind 56 (pick) up, the flyer runs fast until the kite rises high into the sky and dances in the air. Kites 57 (be) close to people's daily lives since they were invented.
Many literati (文人) liked to make kites as gifts for their families and friends.

In the book, kite flying 60 (describe) as an amusement of the big family of the time and used as symbols of the characters' destinies (命运).
Cao wrote another book in his later years 61 collected the kite-making techniques of both southern and northern China, using 62 (illustrate) to help readers understand and remember them. 63 writing the book, Cao's main wish was to help people struggling financially acquire a skill 64 (support) themselves.
Kites are attached to the Chinese cultural values 65 (associate) with happiness and optimism. This is why the thin string linking us to kites and culture has been passed down to this day.

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。
It was in the afternoon before the end of the Second World War that Antonio Black, who was twelve, caught sight of a beautiful brooch (胸针) in a shop window. The brooch is so beautiful that he was unwilling to leave the store until he had purchased it. But it was too expensive — $5. His family was very poor and his parents struggled to make ends meet. Five dollars would buy almost a week’s food for his family.
Antonio couldn’t ask his father for the money. Everything his father made through fishing went to his mother, Susan. Slim and beautiful, his mother was the center of the home and the glue that held it together. The housework was never-ending, and she struggled to feed and clothe their five children, but she was happy as her family and their well-being were all she cared about.
Nevertheless, he opened the shop’s door and went inside. Standing proudly and straight in his flour-sack (面粉袋改做的) shirt and washed-out trousers, he told the shopkeeper what he wanted, adding, “But I don’t have the money right now. Can you please hold it for me for some time ”
“I’ll try,” the shopkeeper smiled. “People around here don’t usually have that kind of money to spend on things. It should keep for a while.”
Antonio respectfully touched his worn cap and walked out. He would raise the money and not tell anybody, for he thought Mum would be surprised when she saw that brooch. On hearing the sound of hammering (锤打) from a side street, Antonio suddenly had an idea that he could raise money by selling the used nail bags. People built their own homes in Bay Roberts, using nails bought in bags from a local factory. Sometimes the used bags were thrown away at the construction site, and Antonio knew he could sell them back to the factory for five cents a piece. That day he sold two nail bags and hid the money in a rusty soda tin.
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。
Every day after school, Antonio started his plan.
The day finally came!

B
【答案】24.A 25.C 26.B 27.C
【解析】24.推理判断题。由文章第一段“I ask every student I interview for admission to my institution, Pitzer College, the same question,“ What do you look forward to the most in college ” I was amazed and delighted recently when a student sat across from me at a Starbucks in New York City and replied, “I look forward to the possibility of failure.” Of course, this is not how most students respond to the question when sitting before the person who can make decisions about their academic futures, but this young man took a risk. (我在Pitzer College面试每一个学生时都会问同样的问题：“你在大学里最期待什么？”最近，在纽约的一家星巴克，一个学生坐在我对面回答我：“我期待着失败的可能性。”这让我既惊讶又高兴。当然，大多数学生坐在能决定他们学术前途的人面前时，并不是这样回答这个问题的，但这个年轻人冒了一个险)”和文章第三段中的“These days, finding imperfections in a college application is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Students try their best to hide factors they regard as negative and only tell us things they believe we will find impressive. (如今，在大学申请中寻找缺陷就像大海捞针一样困难。学生们尽力隐藏他们认为消极的因素，只告诉我们他们认为会给我们留下深刻印象的事情)”可知，学生们在面试中通常会尽力展示他们的优点，隐藏他们认为负面的因素。故选A。
25.推理判断题。由文章第三段“These days, finding imperfections in a college application is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Students try their best to hide factors they regard as negative and only tell us things they believe we will find impressive. This is supported by a secondary school culture where teachers are under pressure to give students nothing less than an A, and are told not to report disciplinary infractions (违纪) to colleges. Education agents in other countries are known to falsify student transcripts (成绩单), assuming that outstanding grades are the ticket to admission. (如今，在大学申请中寻找缺陷就像大海捞针一样困难。学生们尽力隐藏他们认为消极的因素，只告诉我们他们认为会给我们留下深刻印象的事
情。这一观点得到了中学文化的支持，在中学文化中，老师们承受着给学生不低于A的压力，并被告知不要向大学报告违纪行为。众所周知，其他国家的教育中介伪造学生成绩单，认为优秀的成绩是进入大学的入场券)”可知，第三段主要说明了当前中学文化中存在的问题，即教师受到压力给予学生高分，且不向大学报告学生的纪律违规行为，以及国外教育中介篡改学生成绩单的情况。由此推知，这反映了中学倾向于掩盖学生的不完美之处。故选C。
26.细节理解题。由文章第四段中的“The ability to bounce (回弹) back is an essential life skill students have to learn on their own. The lessons of failure can’t be taught in a classroom; they are experienced and reflected upon. (重新振作起来的能力是学生们必须自学的一项基本生活技能。失败的教训不能在教室里教授；他们经历和反思)”可知，作者认为处理失败的能力是一个学生需要自己学习的重要生活技能。故选B。
27.主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段中的“I was amazed and delighted recently when a student sat across from me at a Starbucks in New York City and replied,“Ilook forward to the possibility of failure.” Of course, this is not how most students respond to the question when sitting before the person who can make decisions about their academic futures, but this young man took a risk. (最近，在纽约的一家星巴克，一个学生坐在我对面回答我：“我期待着失败的可能性。”这让我既惊讶又高兴。当然，大多数学生坐在能决定他们学术前途的人面前时，并不是这样回答这个问题的，但这个年轻人冒了一个险)”和最后一段“Failure is about growth, learning, overcoming, and moving on. Let’s allow young people to fail. Not only will they learn something, it might even get them into college. (失败是成长、学习、克服和继续前进的过程。让我们允许年轻人失败。他们不仅会学到一些东西，甚至可能会进入大学)”可知，整篇文章通过一个学生期待在大学里体验失败的例子，引出当前教育体系下学生被过度保护，缺乏面对和处理失败的机会的问题，并强调了失败对于个人成长和学习的重要性，最终呼吁应允许年轻人经历失败。由此可知，选项C“If you want to get into college, learn to fail. (如果你想上大学，就要学会面对失败)” 最能概括文章的主旨。故选C。
C

30.细节理解题。由文章第三段中的“One of the most meaningful encounters is with the fox. The fox teaches the little prince the true meaning of care and love, establishing a deep
connection and bond with someone or something. Through this experience, the little prince realizes that his rose is truly unique and special to him.（其中最有意义的邂逅是与狐狸的相遇。狐狸教会了小王子关爱和爱的真正意义，与某人或某物建立了深厚的联系和纽带。通过这次经历，小王子意识到他的玫瑰对他来说真的是独一无二的。）”可知，是狐狸改变了小王子对他玫瑰的看法。故选A项。
31.推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段““The Little Prince” takes us on a magical journey through the universe, touching our souls and leaving us with a sense of wonder and hope. It is a story that reminds us of the power of innocence, love, and the importance of never losing sight of what truly matters in life.(《小王子》带我们踏上了一段穿越宇宙的神奇之旅，触动了我们的灵魂，让我们感到惊奇和希望。这个故事提醒我们纯真、爱的力量，以及永远不要忽视生活中真正重要的东西的重要性。)”，结合文章大意，文章通过小王子的经历，尤其是他与玫瑰和狐狸的关系，强调了爱和希望的重要性。小王子最终认识到他的玫瑰对他的意义，以及他对玫瑰的爱，这体现了爱的价值。同时，小王子在整个旅行中始终保持纯真和希望，这也显示了希望的重要性。D选项（爱和希望在生活中很重要。）符合题意。故选D项。
D

【解析】32.细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“It was found that even in the first few months of life, before babies have even learned to reach for objects, the multisensory (多感官的) brain is wired up to make links between what babies see and what they feel.(研究发现，即使在婴儿出生后的头几个月，在他们还没有学会伸手去拿东西之前，多感官大脑就已经开始连接起来，把婴儿看到的和感觉到的联系起来。)”可知，从研究的第一阶段可以了解到婴儿在最初的几个月里会把他们看到和感觉到的东西联系起来。故选C。
33.细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“The experts found that in babies aged eight months old when the touch on their hand followed the ball on the screen moving away from them, the babies’ brain activity showed signs that they were amazed.(专家们发现，在8个月大的婴儿中，当他们的手触摸屏幕上的球远离他们时，婴儿的大脑活动显示出他们感到惊讶的迹象。)”可知，研究的第二阶段中婴儿的反应是惊讶。故选A。
34.推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句中的“but we are starting to have some success working with this age group, and it is going to be fascinating to see if babies only a few days old have the foundations of a sense of their bodies in space. If so, it could be that we are looking at the origins of human consciousness.(但是我们已经开始在这个年龄段取得了一些成功，看看几天大的婴儿是否已经有了在空间中感知自己身体的基础，这将是一件很有趣的事情。如果是这样的话，我们可能正在研究人类意识的起源。)”可知，Orioli博士对这项研究的未来感到很有希望。故选B。
35.主旨大意题。根据第一段“Babies as young as four months old can make sense of how their bodies interact with the space around them, according to a new research from the University of Birmingham. The findings, published in Scientific Reports, throw new light on how self-awareness develops.(根据伯明翰大学的一项新研究，4个月大的婴儿就能理解他们的身体是如何与周围的空间相互作用的。发表在《科学报告》上的研究结果，为自我意识的发展提供了新的视角。)”可知，文章主要是讲科学研究发现4个月大的婴儿就能
理解他们的身体是如何与周围的空间相互作用的，这显示出了自我意识，D项“婴儿表现出自我意识的迹象”适合作文章标题。故选D。

(有一些方法可以更好地应对你的消极情绪)”指出消极情绪是有应对方法的，空处应该与情绪管理相关，因此F项“However, you will feel better if you can learn to manage your emotions. (然而，如果你能学会管理你的情绪，你会感觉更好)”符合语境，和前文构成转折，引出后文的应对方法。故选F。

(当你生气或害怕时，你的身体会进入一种逃跑或战斗模式，这可能会导致你的反应是情绪化的，而不是合乎逻辑的)”描述生气或害怕的情绪下身体的模式，以及导致的不良反应，后文“So it is important to learn to calm yourself down when you are experiencing negative emotions. (因此，当你经历消极
情绪时，学会让自己冷静下来是很重要的)”指出冷静下来是很重要，空处应该与不良反应的负面作用相关，因此D项“This type of response is generally not helpful in work or social life. (这种类型的反应通常对工作或社交生活没有帮助)”符合语境，承上启下，其中的This type of response指代前文的to react emotionally instead of logically。故选D。

Every day after school, Antonio started his plan. Cold and hungry, Antonio wandered around, searching for nail bags carefully from one street to another. To save more money, the determined boy even decided to deliver papers in the early morning. Every coin he won went to the soda tin, his treasured “bank”, and then all the tiredness disappeared magically. Each time he passed by, the brooch in the shop window would remind him what he did was worthwhile. Day by day, his soda tin became heavier and heavier. Six weeks passed before he even knew it. Then approached Christmas Eve.
The day finally came! Antonio stole into his room and cautiously took out the soda tin, poured all the coins out and began to count. Five dollars and twenty cents! He counted it a second time, and no mistake. His hard work eventually paid off! Holding the soda tin firmly, Antonio rushed for the shop without a second’s delay. Wearing the beautiful brooch and knowing the story behind it, Susan was too overjoyed to utter a word. She just threw her arms tightly around her beloved son. “Merry Christmas, Mom”, the son announced proudly. “You too.” the proud mother echoed. Well, no dream is out of reach for a willing heart.

I ask every student I interview for admission to my institution, Pitzer College, the same question, “What do you look forward to the most in college ” I was amazed and delighted recently when a student sat across from me at a Starbucks in New York City and replied, “I look forward to the possibility of failure.” Of course, this is not how most students respond to the question when sitting before the person who can make decisions about their academic futures,
but this young man took a risk.
“You see, my parents have never let me fail,“ he said. “When I want to take a chance at something, they remind me it’s not a safe route to take. Taking a more demanding (要求高的) course or trying an activity I may not succeed in, they tell me, will ruin my chances at college admission. Even the sacrifice of staying up late to do something unrelated to school, they see as a risk to my academic work and college success.”
These days, finding imperfections in a college application is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Students try their best to hide factors they regard as negative and only tell us things they believe we will find impressive. This is supported by a secondary school culture where teachers are under pressure to give students nothing less than an A, and are told not to report disciplinary infractions (违纪) to colleges. Education agents in other countries are known to falsify student transcripts (成绩单), assuming that outstanding grades are the ticket to admission.
I’ve spent enough time in high schools to know teenagers will never be perfect. They do silly things, mess up, fall down, and lack confidence. The ability to bounce (回弹) back is an essential life skill students have to learn on their own. The lessons of failure can’t be taught in a classroom; they are experienced and reflected upon.
Failure is about growth, learning, overcoming, and moving on. Let’s allow young people to fail. Not only will they learn something, it might even get them into college.
24.What can you infer about students in the author’s interviews
A.They usually try all out to display their strengths.
B.They usually express a desire to experience failure.
C.They usually take a risk so as to get admitted into college.
D.They usually complain about their parents’ control over them.
25.What can you learn from paragraph 3
A.Students should make their college applications perfect.
B.Secondary school teachers don’t like to give students A.
C.Secondary schools tend to help cover students’ imperfections.
D.Outstanding scores will certainly ensure you a place in a college.
26.According to the author, what quality may be expected from students by college professors
A.The ability to learn outside class.
B.The ability to deal with failure.
C.The ability to be always confident.
D.The ability to learn on their own.
27.What is the main idea of the passage
A.Failure is the mother of success.
B.Teenagers are far from being perfect.
C.If you want to get into college, learn to fail.
D.If you want to impress interviewers, take a risk.
C
The Little Prince, written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, is a charming and thought-provoking (引人深思的) story that takes us on a colorful and touching journey through the universe, exploring themes of friendship, love, loss, and the meaning of life.
The story begins with the narrator, a pilot who has crashed in the desert. Trapped and alone, he encounters (邂逅) a mysterious little boy — the little prince. The little prince hails from a small planet where he has cared for a single rose that is very precious to him. However, feeling misunderstood and hurt by the rose’s behavior, he decides to leave his planet in search of answers and new friends.
Traveling from planet to planet, he meets many strange and unusual characters: the king, the proud man, the drunkard, the businessman, and the lamplighter. Each provides the little prince with a different view on human nature and the world. One of the most meaningful encounters is with the fox. The fox teaches the little prince the true meaning of care and love, establishing a deep connection and bond with someone or something. Through this experience, the little prince realizes that his rose is truly unique and special to him.
Throughout his journey, the little prince also reflects on the adults he encounters, often finding them to be strange and lost in their own concerns and worries. He questions what they consider most important and the way they have forgotten the simple joy s and wonders of life. The little prince’s innocence (纯真) serves as a reminder of what is truly important in our own lives.
Eventually, the little prince meets the narrator. Together, they share many conversations and experiences, deepening the narrator’s understanding of the little prince’s world.
“The Little Prince” takes us on a magical journey through the universe, touching our souls and leaving us with a sense of wonder and hope. It is a story that reminds us of the power of innocence, love, and the importance of never losing sight of what truly matters in life.
28.Where is the text probably taken from
A.A journey of two friends. B.A report of an adventure.
C.An introduction to a book. D.A guidebook to travelling.
29.Why does the little prince leave his planet
A.To prove he is a brave adventurer and a trustworthy friend.
B.To help the lost pilot find his way home and make friends with him.
C.To visit some long-missing friends and help them solve problems.
D.To seek new friendship and answers to his confusions.
30.Who changes the little prince’s view of his rose
A.The fox. B.The king. C.The businessman. D.The lamplighter.
31.What can we learn from the little prince’s experiences

Babies as young as four months old can make sense of how their bodies interact with the space around them, according to a new research from the University of Birmingham. The findings, published in Scientific Reports, throw new light on how self-awareness develops.
In the first stage, experts from the Birmingham Baby Lab showed babies a ball on a screen moving towards them. When the ball was closest to them on the screen, the babies were presented with a touch on their hands, while their brain activity was being measured. It was found that even in the first few months of life, before babies have even learned to reach for objects, the multisensory (多感官的) brain is wired up to make links between what babies see and what they feel. Dr Giulia Orioli, the study leader, said: “Since we know babies in the early stages of their development begin to show signs of this, it opens up questions about how much of these abilities are learned, or inborn.”
Then a ball on a screen was shown moving away from them in the second stage. The experts found that in babies aged eight months old when the touch on their hand followed the ball on the screen moving away from them, the babies’ brain activity showed signs that they were amazed. The older babies’ responses suggest that they had not expected the touch.
Next, the researchers are planning to follow up this study with younger participants, hoping to be able to see if there are early signs of these “multisensory” abilities in newborn babies. “It is a challenge working with newborns,” Dr Orioli concluded, “but we are starting to have some success working with this age group, and it is going to be fascinating to see if babies only a few days old have the foundations of a sense of their bodies in space. If so, it could be that we are looking at the origins of human consciousness.”
32.What can we learn about Stage 1 of the research
A.Babies’ multisensory abilities are learned.
B.Babies learn to reach for objects earlier than expected.
C.Babies connect what they see and feel in the first few months.
D.Babies’ brain activity was measured when a ball touched them.
33.What is the babies’ response in Stage 2 of the research
A.Surprise. B.Fear. C.Calmness. D.Annoyance.
34.How does Dr Orioli feel about the future of this research
A.Doubtful. B.Hopeful. C.Puzzled. D.Worried.
35.Which one is the best title for the text
A.Babies’ Interaction with Balls Measured
B.Origins of Human Consciousness Found
C.Babies’ Multisensory Brain Developed at Birth
D.Young Babies Showing Signs of Self-awareness

Sometimes dealing with your emotions can feel overwhelming. When life is stressful, it’s easy to give in to feelings of anger or depression. 36 There are ways to better cope with your negative feelings.
Understand your emotional needs.
In order to manage your emotions, you need to fully understand them. All of us have
certain emotional needs that are just as important as our physical needs. Spend some time taking an inventory of the emotional needs that are most important to you. For example, some important emotional needs are feeling in control, feeling respected, and feeling comfort. 37
Know the causes.
When things aren’t going your way, it is very common to feel anger. Maybe your boss criticized you for careless work on a project. You might feel that you are not being respected, because you spent months creating a great product. 38 Knowing the things that set off negative emotions is an important part of remaining in control.
39
When you know that something is causing a negative emotion, try to shift your focus away from it. Instead, refocus on something positive to help you regain your calmness. Perhaps feeling out of control is one of your triggers. When you are in a traffic jam and running late, you are likely to feel frustration and anger. To improve the situation, turn on your favorite CD for just such an occasion.
Calm down.
When experiencing very strong emotions, it can be difficult to think and act reasonably. When you are angry or frightened, your body goes into a flight or fight mode, which can cause you to react emotionally instead of logically. 40 So it is important to learn to calm yourself down when you are experiencing negative emotions. One of the effective ways is to take deep breaths. Focusing on your breathing will help you calm down, physically and emotionally.
A.Shift your focus.
B.Take a time-out.
C.Not feeling respected is probably what causes your anger.
D.This type of response is generally not helpful in work or social life.
E.Once you know the causes, you can use that to regain happiness.
F.However, you will feel better if you can learn to manage your emotions.
G.If your brain feels one of those needs is not being met, that can cause the negative emotions.

In certain situations, we can never fully recognize the value of what has occurred until the moment is gone. Then we are left to reflect on every detail. One such moment for me was being invited to participate in the National Storytelling Festival as the youngest 41 . I have spoken on a variety of 42 , but this particular festival was an event like no other. Thousands of people drifted in and out of tents as storytellers weaved (编织) words into memories both 43 and humorous.
I stood on a stage with a single microphone. All eyes were on me, a feeling that 44
anxiety easily. The challenge in that moment was to 45 authentic emotion — to be vulnerable (脆弱) and fearless. In a tent filled with expectant listeners, it was embarrassing to think about being so 46 , but I understood that the only real 47 would be not showing my true passion. So, I gave the audience everything I had, and in turn they 48 with support and encouragement.
This sort of communication is responsible for the smallest and largest 49 between people in life. The festival is 50 on communities coming together to listen. Not to hear, but to 51 listen. I think of the lonely people of the world, the misunderstood, the uncelebrated. Listening to their stories opens up doors and relationship possibilities that are far more peaceful in nature than 52 or even ignoring.
The most powerful part of the 53 was not the fact that I spoke or that the most brilliant storytellers in the world were there, but that I 54 first-hand that people do in fact understand and 55 closer communication. I finally understand the educational world is in need of spaces like these where truth comes to be heard. Now I hold closely to the belief that storytelling connects individuals.

Many people hold a memory of kites. It could be a sunny spring day in a rural landscape with family members. With the wind 56 (pick) up, the flyer runs fast until the kite rises high into the sky and dances in the air. Kites 57 (be) close to people's daily lives since they were invented.
Many literati (文人) liked to make kites as gifts for their families and friends. One of the most famous kite lovers in history is Cao Xueqin, 58 literary giant of the Qing Dynasty who wrote the 59 (high) influential novel Dream of the Red Chamber. In the book, kite flying 60 (describe) as an amusement of the big family of the time and used as symbols of the characters' destinies (命运).
Cao wrote another book in his later years 61 collected the kite-making techniques of both southern and northern China, using 62 (illustrate) to help readers understand and remember them. 63 writing the book, Cao's main wish was to help people struggling financially acquire a skill 64 (support) themselves.
Kites are attached to the Chinese cultural values 65 (associate) with happiness and optimism. This is why the thin string linking us to kites and culture has been passed down to this day.

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。
It was in the afternoon before the end of the Second World War that Antonio Black, who was twelve, caught sight of a beautiful brooch (胸针) in a shop window. The brooch is so beautiful that he was unwilling to leave the store until he had purchased it. But it was too expensive — $5. His family was very poor and his parents struggled to make ends meet. Five dollars would buy almost a week’s food for his family.
Antonio couldn’t ask his father for the money. Everything his father made through fishing went to his mother, Susan. Slim and beautiful, his mother was the center of the home and the glue that held it together. The housework was never-ending, and she struggled to feed and clothe their five children, but she was happy as her family and their well-being were all she cared about.
Nevertheless, he opened the shop’s door and went inside. Standing proudly and straight in his flour-sack (面粉袋改做的) shirt and washed-out trousers, he told the shopkeeper what he wanted, adding, “But I don’t have the money right now. Can you please hold it for me for some time ”
“I’ll try,” the shopkeeper smiled. “People around here don’t usually have that kind of money to spend on things. It should keep for a while.”
Antonio respectfully touched his worn cap and walked out. He would raise the money and not tell anybody, for he thought Mum would be surprised when she saw that brooch. On hearing the sound of hammering (锤打) from a side street, Antonio suddenly had an idea that he could raise money by selling the used nail bags. People built their own homes in Bay Roberts, using nails bought in bags from a local factory. Sometimes the used bags were thrown away at the construction site, and Antonio knew he could sell them back to the factory for five cents a piece. That day he sold two nail bags and hid the money in a rusty soda tin.
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。
Every day after school, Antonio started his plan.
The day finally came!

(我在Pitzer College面试每一个学生时都会问同样的问题：“你在大学里最期待什么？”最近，在纽约的一家星巴克，一个学生坐在我对面回答我：“我期待着失败的可能性。”这让我既惊讶又高兴。当然，大多数学生坐在能决定他们学术前途的人面前时，并不是这样回答这个问题的，但这个年轻人冒了一个险)”和文章第三段中的“These days, finding imperfections in a college application is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Students try their best to hide factors they regard as negative and only tell us things they believe we will find impressive. (如今，在大学申请中寻找缺陷就像大海捞针一样困难。学生们尽力隐藏他们认为消极的因素，只告诉我们他们认为会给我们留下深刻印象的事情)”可知，学生们在面试中通常会尽力展示他们的优点，隐藏他们认为负面的因素。故选A。
25.推理判断题。由文章第三段“These days, finding imperfections in a college application is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Students try their best to hide factors they regard as negative and only tell us things they believe we will find impressive. This is supported by a secondary school culture where teachers are under pressure to give students nothing less than an A, and are told not to report disciplinary infractions (违纪) to colleges. Education agents in other countries are known to falsify student transcripts (成绩单), assuming that outstanding grades are the ticket to admission. (如今，在大学申请中寻找缺陷就像大海捞针一样困难。学生们尽力隐藏他们认为消极的因素，只告诉我们他们认为会给我们留下深刻印象的事
情。这一观点得到了中学文化的支持，在中学文化中，老师们承受着给学生不低于A的压力，并被告知不要向大学报告违纪行为。众所周知，其他国家的教育中介伪造学生成绩单，认为优秀的成绩是进入大学的入场券)”可知，第三段主要说明了当前中学文化中存在的问题，即教师受到压力给予学生高分，且不向大学报告学生的纪律违规行为，以及国外教育中介篡改学生成绩单的情况。由此推知，这反映了中学倾向于掩盖学生的不完美之处。故选C。
26.细节理解题。由文章第四段中的“The ability to bounce (回弹) back is an essential life skill students have to learn on their own. The lessons of failure can’t be taught in a classroom; they are experienced and reflected upon. (重新振作起来的能力是学生们必须自学的一项基本生活技能。失败的教训不能在教室里教授；他们经历和反思)”可知，作者认为处理失败的能力是一个学生需要自己学习的重要生活技能。故选B。
27.主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段中的“I was amazed and delighted recently when a student sat across from me at a Starbucks in New York City and replied,“Ilook forward to the possibility of failure.” Of course, this is not how most students respond to the question when sitting before the person who can make decisions about their academic futures, but this young man took a risk. (最近，在纽约的一家星巴克，一个学生坐在我对面回答我：“我期待着失败的可能性。”这让我既惊讶又高兴。当然，大多数学生坐在能决定他们学术前途的人面前时，并不是这样回答这个问题的，但这个年轻人冒了一个险)”和最后一段“Failure is about growth, learning, overcoming, and moving on. Let’s allow young people to fail. Not only will they learn something, it might even get them into college. (失败是成长、学习、克服和继续前进的过程。让我们允许年轻人失败。他们不仅会学到一些东西，甚至可能会进入大学)”可知，整篇文章通过一个学生期待在大学里体验失败的例子，引出当前教育体系下学生被过度保护，缺乏面对和处理失败的机会的问题，并强调了失败对于个人成长和学习的重要性，最终呼吁应允许年轻人经历失败。由此可知，选项C“If you want to get into college, learn to fail. (如果你想上大学，就要学会面对失败)” 最能概括文章的主旨。故选C。

To save more money, the determined boy even decided to deliver papers in the early morning. Every coin he won went to the soda tin, his treasured “bank”, and then all the tiredness disappeared magically. Each time he passed by, the brooch in the shop window would remind him what he did was worthwhile. Day by day, his soda tin became heavier and heavier. Six weeks passed before he even knew it. Then approached Christmas Eve.
The day finally came! Antonio stole into his room and cautiously took out the soda tin, poured all the coins out and began to count. Five dollars and twenty cents! He counted it a second time, and no mistake. His hard work eventually paid off! Holding the soda tin firmly, Antonio rushed for the shop without a second’s delay. Wearing the beautiful brooch and knowing the story behind it, Susan was too overjoyed to utter a word. She just threw her arms tightly around her beloved son. “Merry Christmas, Mom”, the son announced proudly. “You too.” the proud mother echoed. Well, no dream is out of reach for a willing heart.
