Anne of Green Gables is ideally meant for children — one might think so when seeing the cover or reading through the back page of the masterpiece. It was first published in the year 1904, authored by Lucy Maud Montgomery, but it still connects to today’s world where we forget to live in the present.
It tells of the adventures of Anne Shirley, an 11-year-old orphan (孤儿)girl who is mistakenly sent to Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a middle-aged brother and sister who had intended to adopt a boy to help them on their farm in the fictional town of Avonlea. The novel describes how Anne makes her way with the Cuthberts, in school, and within the town.
The book teaches me a lot of things the most important being — to be who you are. Why do we need to pretend to be somebody else and project a false image of ourselves to look better We need to realize that we are all different in our own way and accept ourselves first. As is described in the book, Anne is a colorful and ever-growing character. She “has as many shades as a rainbow and every shade is the prettiest while it lasts.” Each aspect of her personality is beautiful, which makes her unique and interesting.
Another important concept that is illustrated remarkably well is the importance of taking joy in the world around us. Anne’s obvious wonder-struck appreciation of life made me truly appreciate the small things. Here is my favourite quote (引言) from Chapter 19:
I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.
Anne’s influence has deeply shaped who I am today. This classic novel truly highlights the importance of self-love and gratitude. With its uplifting and refreshing story, it is a wonderful read for people of all ages seeking a joyful and enriching literary journey.
24. What do we know about Anne of Green Gables
A. It is a recent release. B. It covers real events.
C. It is a timeless classic. D. It features world history.
25. What can we learn about Anne from paragraph 3
A. She is true to herself. B. She achieves her goal.
C. She is talented in drawing. D. She cares about others.
26. Which of the following best matches the quote from Chapter 19
A. Time waits for no man. B. Do one thing at a time.
C. Fortune favours the brave. D. Stop and smell the roses.
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To tell a story. B. To remember a writer.
C. To teach a lesson. D. To recommend a book.
C
Theo works days, nights, and weekends in the tulip (郁金香) fields in the Netherlands and never complains about tired muscles. How is this possible Theo, named after a retired farmer, is a high-tech robot in the battle to root out disease from the fields.
The robot rolls along rows of yellow and red tulips, checking each plant and, when necessary, killing diseased bulbs (鳞茎) to prevent the spread of the tulip-breaking virus (病毒). The virus weakens the bulb, leaving them unable to flower. The dead bulbs are removed from healthy ones in a sorting center after they have been harvested. There are 45 robots like Theo working in the tulip fields of the Netherlands. Their job becomes important as the winter turns to spring and peak season nears, when people come from around the world to admire the colorful flowers.
In the past, this work was carried out by knowledgeable farmers. Allan Visser is a third-generation tulip farmer who is using the robot. “You could buy a very nice sports car for the price of the robot,” Visser said. The robot costs 185,000 euros. “It’s a lot slower than a sports car, rolling on caterpillar tracks through fields,” he added. “But I choose the robot because a sports car doesn’t see the sick tulips. Now there are fewer and fewer people who can really do that.”
The robots have been trained to detect sick plants. They have cameras and take thousands of photos of the tulips. Their AI model examines the photos, hunting out signs on sick plants, and decides which ones need to be killed. The engineer explains the robots use GPS to be sure they are destroying the correct tulips. The heart of the machine is the knowledge put into the AI model, which comes from experienced tulip farmers like Theo van der Voort, who gave his name to the robot.
Van der Voort retired after 52 years of looking for sick flowers in his fields. “It’s fantastic,” he said. “It sees just as much as I see.”
28. What does the robot do
A. Plant new tulips. B. Clear troubled bulbs.
C. Kill deadly virus. D. Harvest grown flowers.
29. What can we infer from Visser’s words
A. He dreams of a sports car. B. Tulip fields are low in production.
C. The robot is worth the cost. D. Farmers lack technical knowledge.
30. What is the key to making the robots work effectively
A. GPS systems. B. High-tech cameras.
C. Daily training. D. Human knowledge.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Theo’s Watch: An Advance in Tulip Farming
B. Al Robots: A Replacement for Aging Farmers
C. Tulip Seasons: An Attraction of the Netherlands
D. Visser’s Practice: A Tradition in Tulip Businesses
D
Parents of teenagers often view their children’s friends with distrust, worrying that their children will be pushed by their peers (同龄人) into doing something foolish or even dangerous. Their worries hold water. In a previous study, psychologist Laurence Steinberg found that a teenage driver with a same-age passenger in the car is at higher risk of traffic accidents than one driving alone or with an adult.
In the following years, Steinberg examined why teens were more likely to take risks in the company of other teenagers. In a later study, by scanning (扫描) the brains of 40 teens and adults, Steinberg found the brains of teenagers, but not adults, showed greater activity in two regions associated with rewards when they were being observed by same-age peers. The reward systems of the brain are activated whenever people experience something rewarding, like eating a nice-tasting food, which make them feel satisfied. In this case, rewards are greater for teens, which motivates them to seek higher-risk experiences.
But Steinberg thought peer pressure might also have its positive side. In the latest study, Steinberg’s team used a card game to research how peers affect the way young people gather and apply information. It involved 101 teenage boys who played either alone or with three peers. They chose cards from four decks (牌堆): two decks had “good” cards, and two “bad” ones. Players with peers were more willing to take risks, trying to figure out which decks could help them to win. The results showed that teens playing with their peers engage in more exploratory behavior, learn faster and achieve better performance on the task than those playing alone.
Now some experts are proposing that we should take advantage of the teens’ keen sensitivity (敏感) to the presence of friends to improve education. “Risk taking in an educational context is a vital skill that enables progress and creativity,” wrote Sarah-Jayne Blakemore, a professor at University College London.
32. What do the underlined words “hold water” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Make sense. B. Face doubts.
C. Bring relief. D. Start debates.
33. What is the reason behind teens’ dangerous behavior
A. Inability to tell right from wrong.
B. A sense of satisfaction.
C. Eagerness to follow their friends.
D. Lack of social experience.
34. How does risk-taking affect teens in the latest study
A. It starts fights between them.
B. It inspires them to question.
C. It weakens their independence.
D. It helps them to learn better.
35. What would Blakemore suggest teachers do in the classroom
A Conduct group discussion.
B. Improve time management.
C. Encourage personal opinions.
D. Develop decision-making skills.

76. Dear Peter,
I’m thrilled to receive your invitation to join in the Dongxichong Coast Hike. The thought of exploring the breathtaking coastline fills me with anticipation.
In terms of suggestions, I recommend equipping ourselves with comfortable walking shoes, which will allow us to travel the varied terrain with ease. Since the hike is about 7 kilometers, it’s a good idea to pack some light snacks and take breaks to keep our energy up if needed. It would also be wise to check the weather forecast in advance and dress accordingly.
Let’s meet at Mangrove Wetland Park on Saturday, and I can’t wait to embark on this adventure!
Yours sincerely
